Locust Controls Troubleshooting: PC, Mobile & Console
Use this page when a Locust action is missing or unresponsive. Current PC reports mention Q for a special action and Left Control for sprint, but no complete developer control map exists. Confirm the role transition, follow the live HUD, close menu focus, and never translate a reported PC key into a mobile or console answer.

First minute as the Locust
Identify the interface before chasing
- 01
Confirm assignment
Wait for the role screen and Locust HUD. A purchase, selection, or lobby state is not the same as round assignment.
- 02
Find the normal attack
Locate the visible attack action and test it in open space. Do not freeze an assumed range or hitbox from one round.
- 03
Find sprint
Use the current label or icon, watch the actual meter or cooldown, and note whether movement changes before committing to a chase.
- 04
Find the special action
Community coverage reports Q on PC. Verify the current prompt and observe what the action actually changes before naming its effect.
- 05
Capture platform evidence
Record the role, platform, visible buttons, and date. Mobile and console guidance needs their own screenshots rather than translated PC keys.

Troubleshooting
When the current interface does not match the guide
Check the full Locust Controls Troubleshooting: PC, Mobile & Console state before rejoining, repurchasing, or turning one server into a permanent rule.
| Problem | Check | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Attack does nothing | Role state, target distance, cooldown, round start, current action label, and chat/menu focus | Test once in open space, then record the HUD rather than increasing an assumed range. |
| Q does nothing on PC | Visible special-action label, cooldown state, keyboard focus, and whether this server shows a different binding | Follow the current HUD; treat Q as a dated community report, not a mandatory key. |
| Mobile ability button is absent | Completed role transition, orientation, overlays, safe-area clipping, and whether attack loaded | Capture the full screen, rejoin a fresh server once, and report the platform plus role state. |
FAQ
Common Locust Controls Troubleshooting: PC, Mobile & Console questions
What button is the Locust special ability?
Q is community-reported for some current PC play. Use the label shown in your HUD because the binding is not developer-published or confirmed across platforms.
How do you sprint as the Locust?
Left Control is community-reported on PC. Watch the live prompt or meter and do not assume the same input on mobile or console.
What do Guilt and Organator abilities do?
Their product names and prices are observed, but their ability kits are not verified well enough to merge into this control map.
