Basic techniques

 * Safe Fall: While being uppercutted into the air, tap jump to recover and land upright.
 * Tumble : With a ranged weapon equipped double tap forward, sideways, or back to perform a tumble in that direction.
 * Dash : With a melee weapon equipped double tap forward, sideways, or back to dash in that direction.

Effective custom control set ups
In GunZ, your key setup later on is not extremely important, but when learning how to play, it makes a big difference. As a note, try not to use the scroll wheel or Next/previous weapon buttons to switch weapons, as it has a slight delay on the speed of weapon switching in some techniques. Other than that, mix and match these button combinations to suit your preferences.

Put your hand in a typing position (pinky should go on A, ring should go on S, etc.). Use your index finger to switch weapons, to block and to reload. In specical cases where two weapons must be switched through quickly, use the middle finger to hit C, V, G or H while using the index finger to hit F. With any applicable technique, slide your finger across keys instead of tapping one key, releasing, and tapping a key right next to it.
