Crouch jumping in PUBG is very powerful: it allows you to reach places you couldn’t normally get to with a simple jump, but—more importantly—it lets you jump through windows (that’s why this is also called a “window jump key bind“)
Some people think it’s unfair to have the crouch jump key bind .. but this will all be outdated.
Because not many new players are aware of this, some people think it’s unfair to have the crouch jump key bind in PUBG, but honestly, it’s something that a lot of people are catching up on, and also this will all be outdated once the new vaulting patch is live.
How to Bind Crouch Jump in PUBG
UPDATE Sep 23:There are two ways you can do this, one is in-game (which is by far the easiest), the other way involves manually editing your PUBG config. Let’s take a look.. Finally, in case you wanna be on the same playing field as everybody else and want to crouch jump without using a shortcut, you can practice crouch jumping like so: With the default key binds, you press the spacebar with your thumb knuckle, while the tip of your thumb hits the “c” key. (see the picture below) Hope this helps! Happy windowjumping!UPDATE Sep 19: It’s still possible to make a crouch jump keybind by editing the GameUserSettings.ini file. Check out the updated Game Config section below. Thanks to Turk for the heads up in the comments!
UPDATE Sep 15: They have now patched both of the following methods, so it’s impossible to have crouch and jump bound to the same key. Further down in this article, check out the section on how to crouch jump without the key bind. That too will be obsolete when they add vaulting, which is coming in a new patch soon.Crouch Jump In-Game Key MappingWith default keys,
Go to the secondary column for crouch and click on it.Press SHIFT + SPACE BAR.Go to the secondary column of jump and click on it.Again, press SHIFT + SPACE BAR, but this time don’t let go of SHIFT and click in the primary column.Let go of SHIFT and you should have both keys bound to the same combo.Finally, click Apply.Now when you run and jump, your character will automatically crouch jump every time. Makes jumping out of windows a breeze.Crouch Jump Key Mapping through Game Config
Press Windows Key + R.Type “%localappdata%\TslGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor”Open the file “GameUserSettings.ini” with Notepad.Ctrl+F “Jump”.After “Keys=((Key=SpaceBar),” add “(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True),”Ctrl+F “ToggleCrouch”.After the first comma (,) paste “(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True)))”.Ctrl+S to Save.For all of these, of course you just paste the stuff within the quotes only.Easier version (be careful, this will remove your other custom Jump and Crouch keybinds though):Select from (ActionName="Jump",Keys all the way to the end of the ToggleCrouch action Keys=((Key=C))) (see screenshot below)Paste in the following:(ActionName=”Jump”,Keys=((Key=SpaceBar),(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True),(Key=Gamepad_FaceButton_Bottom))),(ActionName=”ToggleCrouch”,Keys=((Key=C),(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True)))
(Optional) If you want to prevent your keybinds being overwritten, you can right-click on the file GameUserSettings.ini, select Properties, and then check “Read Only”.How to Crouch Jump Without the Key Bind
Only way to crouch jump as of Sep 23
It takes a little bit of practice, but after a while, you will be able to crouch jump every single time – your muscle memory will kick in and every time you wanna crouch jump you will automatically slide your thumb forwards to hit both the spacebar and the “c” key at the same time.
Working 21.44 pm 28/01/2019 make very speed to open and close the sequence. Thank you
I have made a multi key on my mouse like:
space (down)
C – key (down)
Space (up)
C – key (up)
and it makes it easier to get through windows quicker then doing the vault animation if someone say throws a frag in the window.
Thanks Callan, I’ll try it out!
Turks suggestion above from the 19th doesn’t work. Tried it today my ini file resets everything to default when trying this.
Confirmed not working. Thanks for the heads up.
This is not working, no matter if i change the .ini file keybind only is on Jump.
Confirmed not working. Thanks for the heads up.
I feel like both of these methods have been patched out? Am I correct in this or just failing?
Dave, you’re right, they changed it yesterday so that it’s not possible anymore to bind crouch and jump to the same key. I’m going to update the article.
The tip about using your thumb in the way I demonstrated obviously still works, but that will also be obsolete soon when they add vaulting.
Hope this helps, thanks for the comment!
GameUserSettings.ini
(ActionName=”Jump”,Keys=((Key=SpaceBar),(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True),(Key=Gamepad_FaceButton_Bottom))),(ActionName=”ToggleCrouch”,Keys=((Key=C),(Key=SpaceBar,bShift=True)))
Basically the same instructions as above, just changing a bit more. Helped a buddy get the bind working 10 minutes ago and found the site when he asked about the best graphics settings.
Crouch jumping makes the game more fluid, I think its needed until vaulting comes out. Its just silly that Bluehole would try to stop new players from setting the bind. Then there’s all this business about them saying that editing the .ini (config) files is cheating, which is ridiculous. Hope they get their act together before the game leaves early access.
Cheers
Thank you Turk! I updated the guide with the new info.
I have serious doubts they’ll ever get vaulting to work properly. The movement in this game is already bad and jumping feels like shit. I have no faith they’ll get something complicated like vaulting working. They can’t even squeeze good framerates out of top of the line video cards
