You can’t control what other people will say, and sometimes these platforms will take issue with chat. This is optional, but recommended if you’re streaming on any platform or recording for YT. This setting filters out cursing and other words you may want to avoid in text chat. This alone can increase your performance, should you not be concerned with a data cap or similar issue from your provider. This is recommended to be set to “High” while playing, if you re able. If you’re on a slower or limited connection, this can help reduce its overall bandwidth usage. This setting allows you to adjust New World’s Bandwidth usage. PreferencesĪll of these options are actually preferences, with the exception of one. These are all things that need to be communicated quickly in stressful situations, and if you’re not using Voice Chat, or can’t these are your best option. We highly recommend binding “Need Help”, “Need Healing”, “Defend Here”, and “Repair Here”. Showing the Ping Wheel, which the Quick Pings can replace. While the Ping Wheel works, there are a few pings that are helpful to have quick bound especially for Wars and for certain roles. These are also unbound by default, but can be really helpful as well. You can however shift this over to allow for more keybinding to be focused around your movement keys for easier access to important bindsĭefault keybinds for “swap weapons” and active abilities. Since New World doesn’t have you using to trying to use dozens of abilities the default WASD is perfectly fine. Typically this is set to WASD (or your region’s equivalent if you’re on the AZERTY or another key set). So as to not cause any discomfort when playing for any reason. The most important thing overall, is that you can reach everything you need in a very comfortable way.

We’ll also talk about some minor optimizations you can do to keep everything centralized. Key binding are mostly personal preference, but there are few useful options that aren’t bound by default.

This gives a ton of lenience to how you set up your keybinds.

You’ll only need to use three skills at any given time, compared to dozens in many other title. Unlike a lot of other MMOs, the amount of keys that need to be bound for New world are much more limited.
