Postal III Keyboard Controls
Postal III is Trashmasters' Source-engine sequel set in the town of Catharsis, played third-person along either a Good path of stuns and arrests or an Insane one of hostages and carnage. The keys below are the defaults from the manual that ships with the Steam release; there is no jump key — Space takes cover, and pressing it again with W climbs or vaults the obstacle.
