In order to play The Pit, you will need to have a mouse and keyboard on a desktop or laptop.

How to move and get around

Players can use the arrow keys to move as well as 'WASD' keys.

Characters are auto set to run so that you can travel around faster, however, holding the 'shift' key whilst moving will allow your character to walk instead of run.

Players can access the global chat messaging system by pressing the 'Enter' key. Press the 'Enter' key again to close the chat.

Interface and Settings

Full screen mode can be activated by pressing 'F11.'

In the top left part of the screen, there is a mini-map. This will display other characters as white dots in all events and open world roaming scenarios.

In the top right part of the screen, players have access to their inventory, controls and settings, leader board rankings, and total online player count.

Just below this, players can see how many lives that they have as well as quickly purchase more via the '+' icon.

To hide all names and displays, hit the 'tab' key. To undo this, just hit 'tab' again.

Players can enter game settings for a full view of all controls within the game by clicking the (insert logo) icon which is located in the top right HUD. This is also where volume controls exist.

Combat

§There are currently 3 types of attack and one type of defensive manoeuvre.

Melee

In order to initiate Melee attacks, players simply left click using their mouse. Melee attacks are quick and deal high damage.

Ranged

In order to initiate a ranged attack, players simply right click using their mouse. Ranged attacks are slower to initiate than melee and do less damage but offer the advantage of distanced strikes.

Magic

There are currently 4 Magic spell abilities within The Pit. They can be initiated via pressing number keys 1-4.

  1. A circular frost strike which deals proximity damage, striking all enemies who surround you closely.

  2. A fire strike which targets an enemy dealing 2 sets of damage. To aim this spell hold '2' and guide it with your mouse, release '2' to strike.

  3. A fire strike which targets an enemy dealing 2 sets of damage. To aim this spell hold '3' and guide it with your mouse, release '3' to strike.

  4. A linear frost strike which deals proximity damage, striking all enemies who are in the line of fire.

Defence

Players can defend against attacks by holding 'spacebar.'

Whilst blocking attacks, your 'block bar' which is the white bar underneath your green health bar, will decrease. Once that bar is empty, you will no longer be able to block until it has recharged.

You can access the Controls from the in-game settings tab.
