Reset On Foot keybinds

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Launch Battlefield 2042
2. Open up ‘Settings’
3. Navigate to ‘Mouse & Keyboard’ then ‘On Foot’
4. Select ‘Restore Default’
5. Open up the ‘Keybindings’ box
6. Hit ‘Restore Default’ again

Reset Battlefield 2042 keybinds

Florian recommends that players first reset all of their Battlefield 2042 keybinds. This will likely fix any issues that cropped up following the update.
