Just Cause 4 Keyboard & Controller Controls
Just Cause 4 is Avalanche Studios' 2018 sequel, published by Square Enix and sold on Steam today as Just Cause 4 Reloaded, which drops Rico Rodriguez into the storm-battered South American country of Solís. These are the default keyboard and mouse bindings as the game's own remapping screen lists them, grouped the way the game groups them, with the Xbox layout from its built-in controller diagrams alongside. The customisable grappling hook is the heart of it: a tap grapples, a hold tethers, and F triggers whichever loadout is equipped.
