Fallout 1, the first game in the series, really holds a special place in the hearts of many PC gamers… It’s an incredibly well-made game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Although the game doesn’t have a section that displays all the available keybinds, we’ve gone ahead and listed them all for you in this guide for easy reference. So bookmark this page if you want to check out the hotkeys available in the game and learn what each keybind does.

 

 

Default Keyboard Shortcuts and Hotkeys
