GoreBox PC Controls

GoreBox on PC delivers the full sandbox experience through a keyboard-and-mouse layout tuned for fast spawning, precise aiming, and creator workflows. Whether you are stress-testing physics on the Legacy map, practicing the Observer boss fight, or building contraptions with Reality Crusher V2, every action maps to familiar PC inputs. This guide covers default keybinds for GoreBox v16 on Windows, Linux, and macOS Steam builds — the same bindings apply across desktop platforms unless you remap them in system settings.

Movement uses the standard WASD cluster: W forward, S backward, A strafe left, and D strafe right. The mouse controls camera look — move the cursor to aim weapons, inspect ragdolls, and orient your view while driving or flying. Left-click fires weapons, swings melee tools, and activates Reality Crusher modes when the Toolgun is equipped. Right-click typically handles secondary actions such as aiming down sights on firearms or rotating the camera during freecam sessions opened via console commands documented in our console basics guide.

Hold Shift while moving to sprint. Sprinting consumes stamina in normal gameplay, though Creator Mode sessions may bypass stamina limits depending on your settings. Press Ctrl to sit or crouch — useful for hiding behind cover during boss encounters, fitting through tight map editor gaps, or staging cinematic poses before motion recording with /rstart and /rstop from our motion recording reference.

Press Space to jump. Jump height interacts with gym stats — players who grind dexterity and speed at the Legacy gym reach higher ledges on Pillars without needing noclip. Combine jump with sprint for parkour routes across warehouse rooftops and tower scaffolding. If movement feels sluggish, verify that no game controller is connected; racing wheels and joysticks are known to conflict with keyboard input on the map select screen and during gameplay.

Press Q to drop your current weapon. Dropping is essential during the Observer fight when you must pick up crafted tools, and during Phil's arena where inventory restrictions apply. Use E to interact with doors, vehicles, syringes, and world pickups scattered across default and Workshop maps.

The mouse wheel is GoreBox's signature spawning interface on PC. Scroll the wheel to cycle through categories in the spawn menu — weapons, GoreDolls, vehicles, props, and explosives. Click to confirm spawns at your crosshair location. This wheel-driven workflow is far faster than menu diving and is why most YouTube creators prefer PC for sandbox videos. Pair wheel spawning with Reality Crusher Link and Phase modes explained in our Reality Crusher guide to assemble complex scenes in minutes.

Tab or the dedicated inventory key (depending on your build) opens broader spawn lists and saved loadouts. In Creator Mode, spawning restrictions lift entirely — spawn unlimited entities without worrying about performance until your hardware limits you. For addon content, subscribed Workshop items appear alongside vanilla categories once synced through mod.io; see our Workshop and mod.io guide for subscription workflows.

When testing weapons or GoreDolls, scroll deliberately — overshooting the category you want wastes time during live recordings. Many veterans memorize wheel positions for frequent spawns like the Uncoha syringe, helicopters, and explosive barrels.

Press C to open the command console at the bottom of the screen. Type slash commands such as /help, /heal, and /divine — full lists live in our all commands reference. The console is PC-only for practical purposes; mobile builds expose a subset of features without full keyboard command entry.

Press Z to toggle slow motion. Slow-mo is invaluable for capturing explosion chains, studying ragdoll physics, and timing boss attack patterns frame by frame. Press V to toggle noclip flight when Creator Mode is enabled — you pass through geometry freely, similar to but distinct from the /divine command which also grants combat powers. Use noclip to scout Pillars map tower routes before committing to a Verse Curse attempt.

Enable Creator Mode from the pause menu before loading a map to unlock noclip, unlimited spawning, and stat overrides. Our dedicated Creator Mode controls page walks through every toggle. Combine Z slow-mo with motion recording for polished machinima exports shared on the F²Games Discord.
