INTRODUCTION
Keybinds and Addon options are typically taught as one of the first things in basic training sessions. This guide contains couple of necessary and recommended settings for your keybinds and addon options. Some are very useful, some will make your life much easier.
GRENADE THROWING
First of all, some safety.
Due to us using and recommending ACE Medical Menu, which is by default bound to 'H', you're running a risk of throwing a grenade by sausage fingering it.
Recommendation is to either unbind the Throw (G key) completely or put it on 2xG if you also play somewhere without ACE. With ACE you can safely use ACE Throwing.
Steps:
- Press the Escape key
- Click "Options" and then "Controls"
- Change the drop down option to "Weapons" (1)
- Edit the "Throw" key and either UNBIND it (leave empty) or set it to "2xG" only (2)
- Click "OK" to save the change (Escape key will not save the changes) (3)

- Press the Escape key
- Click "Options" and then "Controls"

- Click "Addon Options" in the same place you clicked "Controls"
- Change the drop down option to "ACE Medical" (4)
- Find "Use Medical Menu" and set it to "Enabled" (5)
- Click "OK" to save the change (Escape key will not save the changes) (6)
Note: You can change other options with Green check mark next to them and they will apply.
ACE INTERACTION AND SELF-INTERACTION
