WALK KEYBIND - How To Rebind It
INTRODUCTION

There is a WALK button in both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux, however the keybind itself is not present in the keybind menu which is why many players are not aware it even exists.

By default the WALK keybind is X and this simple guide will show you how you can bind it to whichever keybind you want.

HOW TO REBIND THE WALK BUTTON

In order to rebind the key we need to get to the user.cfg ini file which is located in the hidden %appdata% folder.

  1. Hold down the WINDOWS key on your keyboard and press R.
  2. Type %appdata% and hit ENTER.
  3. You will be in the ROAMING folder.
  4. Back out of that folder and go into LOCAL > 4A GAMES.
  5. Enter the folder for Metro 2033 and open up user.cfg file with Notepad.
  6. Find bind accel kX and replace the X keybind with whichever keybind you wish.
  7. Once you are done, save the file.

I personally have the WALK keybind set to LEFT ALT. In user.cfg it looks like this;

bind accel kLMENU

You can do this for Metro Last Light too by going to its respective folder.

Enjoy ^^

Ok so this does not work for me. I tried rebinding some other actions, but they don't work either. So obviosuly the user.cfg file is not synchronized with the game. Does anyone have a fix on this?

I can confirm that you may also change this to a thumb button on a mouse. Just take out the "k" as that stands for keyboard.

Example: bind accel mouse4

Hm... my config file only has the wpn_fast_knife .

I'm not sure exactly why you have it, but it could be a leftover from the original Metro 2033 because there was a bayonet attachment for a specific gun. So that would be my best guess ^^

But the melee command is "wpn_fast_knife" bound to V by default. That's what has me confused, why the second knife function?

@RussianSeppukuE03

That's the melee/lethal takedown button.
