Void/Breaker is a fast paced first person roguelite shooter developed by Stubby Games and published by Playstack. Its combat combines precise shooting, rapid movement, gravity tether mechanics and destructible environments. Learning the controls is essential because surviving an encounter often requires using several abilities in quick succession.
This Void/Breaker controls guide covers the default keyboard and mouse controls alongside PlayStation and Xbox controller layouts. It includes movement, dashing, grappling, melee attacks, grenades, weapon abilities, inventory management and other useful commands.
Void/Breaker Controls for PC, PlayStation and Xbox Controllers
Void/Breaker supports keyboard and mouse as well as compatible controllers on PC. The following bindings are based on the game's documented default control configuration. Players using custom layouts or newer updates should check the Bindings and Gamepad settings.

The controller layout uses several shared buttons. For example, Square or X handles reloading when pressed and the equipped ability when held. Cross or A is used for jumping and also activates the grapple when held. These distinctions are particularly important during fast combat.
How to Dash in Void/Breaker
Press Left Alt on keyboard, L1 on PlayStation or LB on Xbox to dash. Dashing allows you to move rapidly and avoid dangerous attacks.
The game also provides alternative dash activation options, including double tapping a movement key or using a short sprint input, depending on your configuration.
You can adjust these options in the control settings. Choose a dash method that lets you react quickly without interrupting your aim.
How to Slide and Crouch
Press C to crouch on keyboard or Circle on a PlayStation controller. Xbox players use B.
You can initiate a slide while moving, and sliding from a sprint produces greater speed. This makes sliding useful for maintaining momentum through combat areas.
Keyboard players also have a separate hold crouch binding on Left Ctrl.
How to Grapple and Use Gravity Tether
Void/Breaker includes a gravity tether mechanic that lets you manipulate objects and debris in the environment.
On keyboard, Q is assigned to Grapple, while E handles interaction and gravity tether actions. On controllers, hold Cross or A for Grapple and use Triangle or Y for interaction and gravity tether.
These actions are particularly useful during encounters where environmental objects can be pulled, manipulated or thrown toward enemies.
The gravity tether and interaction functions share a default binding, but the game allows them to be assigned separately.
How to Use Melee Attacks
Press V on keyboard or R3 on a controller to perform a melee attack.
Melee is useful when enemies get too close, when conserving ammunition or when using modifications that enhance close combat.
Certain builds also benefit from melee related effects, so it is worth keeping the command within easy reach rather than ignoring it entirely.
How to Throw Grenades
Press G on keyboard, R1 on PlayStation or RB on Xbox to throw a grenade.
Grenades can damage enemies and help create stagger opportunities. They are especially useful when several enemies are grouped together or when you need to interrupt an incoming threat.
Avoid saving every grenade for a boss. Using one at the right moment can prevent significant damage during an ordinary encounter.
How to Use Weapon Abilities
Press F on keyboard to activate your equipped ability. On PlayStation, hold Square. On Xbox, hold X.
The effect depends on the ability module currently equipped. Different modules provide different offensive or defensive benefits, so understanding your current ability is important.
The game provides an audio notification when an ability becomes available again, helping you recognise when its cooldown has finished.
How to Open Inventory and Weapon Attachments
Press I on keyboard to open the inventory. Controller players use the Create or Share button on PlayStation, or the View button on Xbox.
To access weapon attachments and the modification interface, press B on keyboard or D Pad Left on a controller.
Weapon modification is a central part of Void/Breaker. Review your modules regularly and experiment with their placement to create useful combinations.
How to Open the Map and Show Objectives
Press M on keyboard or D Pad Right on a controller to open the map.
To display your objective, press T on keyboard or D Pad Down on a controller.
These commands are useful when choosing routes, locating objectives and deciding which encounters to tackle next.
How to Change Key Bindings in Void/Breaker
Open Settings from the main menu or pause menu, then select Bindings for keyboard and mouse controls or Gamepad for controller settings.
The game supports control remapping and adjustable sensitivity. If the default layout feels uncomfortable, consider moving Dash, Melee or Gravity Tether to inputs that are easier to reach.
Controller players may particularly benefit from placing Gravity Tether on a shoulder button, allowing them to aim with the right stick while manipulating objects.
