No Body No Problem Controls and Keybinds

No Body No Problem controls: 1-5 select hand, knife, gun, handcuffs, and UV light; G drops, H grabs the radio, V talks, B emotes, and hold to cuff.

Last Updated: 2026-11-13

Quick answer: The confirmed No Body No Problem controls are the five item slots (1 hand, 2 knife, 3 gun, 4 handcuffs, 5 UV flashlight), G to drop, H to grab or drop the radio, V for talk, B for emotes, R for the middle finger, and the mouse button for ping. Handcuffing is a two-second hold. The full movement and sprint bindings are not published as a single official list, so check the in-game settings on launch day.

The controls are split between two roles. Suspects use the item bar to carry and clean; the cop uses the same bar for tools and restraints. The HUD screenshot from the Hand Cuffing Update is the best official reference because it shows the slots and the prompts together.

The confirmed bindings

This table only includes inputs that appear in official material or the HUD screenshot.

Input Action Notes
1 Hand Slap and basic interaction
2 Knife Lethal tool
3 Gun Lethal tool
4 Handcuffs Hold to cuff
5 UV flashlight Reveals residue
G Drop Drops the held item
H Radio Pick up or drop the radio
V Talk Voice or talk prompt
B Emotes Emote menu
R Middle finger Taunt
Mouse Ping Location ping
Hold 4 Cuff Two-second hold

The two-second cuff is from the October 17 patch notes. The same notes say a cuffed suspect is slowed for 20 seconds and cannot use items or carry a body. A downed suspect can be cuffed, and a cop can cuff another cop for 5 seconds.

What is not confirmed

The game does not publish a full keybind page in its store material. Movement, sprint, crouch, jump, interact, and the controller layout are not listed as an official table. The Steam page does list full controller support and DualShock/DualSense compatibility on PC, so a gamepad is supported, but the exact pad mapping is unknown.

That matters for two actions:

  • Crouching to use the syringe. The patch notes say the syringe requires crouching and pointing the needle at the body. The crouch key is not listed.
  • Carrying a body. The interact prompt is likely the same hand slot or a hold prompt, but the exact input is not documented in the patch notes.

Do not remap blindly on day one. Load the settings, check the prompts in the first minute of a private lobby, and write down the two or three keys you actually use.

Learn four inputs first

You do not need the whole keyboard on day one. Learn 1-5, G, H, and the ping. Those cover carrying, dropping, radio, and communication.

Suspect controls in practice

A suspect spends most of the round in three states: moving, carrying, and cleaning.

Moving. The item bar should be on hand or empty. You move faster and interact with doors and objects without accidentally swinging a knife.

Carrying. The body is a physical object. The prompt to pick it up appears when you are close and facing it. Once you are carrying, the body blocks your view and collides with furniture. Drop it with G if you get stuck, reposition, and pick it up again.

Cleaning. The cleaning tool is not documented in the store material, but the game tracks cleaned surfaces as a clue. Switch to the relevant item, use it on the evidence, and watch the floor rather than the cop.

The hide body strategy→ and clean evidence→ pages cover the decisions behind those inputs.

Cop controls in practice

The cop's bar is a toolkit, not a loadout. Each slot answers a different question.

  • 5 (UV) answers "is there residue here?"
  • 4 (cuffs) answers "can I stop this suspect from moving or carrying?"
  • 2 or 3 answers "can I end this chase?" but not "where is the body?"
  • 1 (hand) is the default interaction and slap.

The cop also has the radio and siren. The patch notes say the radio is picked up with H and dropped with G, and that the siren is switched with 1-4 while holding the radio. The siren can be heard from 150 meters. Use it to pressure suspects, not to announce your own position for no reason.

Controller support

Full controller support is listed on Steam, and the store page names DualShock and DualSense compatibility. That means the game should recognize a PlayStation-style pad on PC. It does not confirm adaptive triggers, haptics, or a specific button layout.

If you play on a controller, expect the same five-slot structure mapped to a radial or bumper menu. Test the cuff hold and the drop input first, because those are the two actions that cost a round when they fail.

Settings to change before your first match

  • Mouse sensitivity. The game is third-person and close-quarters; a very high sensitivity makes body carrying worse.
  • Voice chat. Set push-to-talk or voice activation before the round starts.
  • Ping key. Confirm the mouse ping works; it is faster than describing a room.
  • Controller vibration. Turn it off if it makes the camera shake during carrying.
Do not trust a fan-made keybind list

The official material does not publish every key. A list that claims a full keyboard map without a source is guessing, and a wrong crouch key can cost you the syringe.
