Dumpster Gang how to change keybinds has one hard limit in the demo: players report that the movement keys cannot be rebound at all, while everything else — the interact key that picks things up included — can be remapped in the options.

Dumpster Gang how to change keybinds: what moves

Players who have been through the options report two things:

  • Movement is fixed to WASD on a QWERTY layout. There is no option to move with the arrow keys.
  • Everything else can be reconfigured in the options, which includes the interact key that picks objects up and throws them.

Players with AZERTY keyboards in France and Belgium report having to switch their keyboard layout to QWERTY or grab a controller instead, and one of them describes it as weird that you can re-configure everything except the movement buttons. A separate thread asking for proper keyboard layout detection or customisable keybindings has not been answered by the developers.

For a French or Belgian keyboard, switching the layout is the current answer; a controller is the other one. If you want to know what the interact key is bound to once you have moved it, the pick up and throw guide covers what that key does.

The settings that do work

The demo does have working graphics options. A patch added both an FPS limit and a VSync toggle after players reported their GPUs running at 100% load, so the options menu is not empty — it is the movement bindings that have no options behind them.
