CONTROLS

Protect the Border Controls

Control references for Protect the Border: PC keyboard bindings, interaction keys for ID checks and trunk searches, and platform differences.

What are the Controls?

Protect the Border runs on PC, mobile, tablet, and console, and each platform handles inspection actions differently. On PC, keyboard keys drive the core loop: requesting documents, examining IDs, searching vehicles, opening trunks, and arresting or rejecting travelers. This section lists the bindings for every inspection action so new officers never fumble for the right key mid-check.

Why learn the controls?

1

Inspect Without Pausing

Memorize the ID and trunk keys so a full vehicle check flows without opening menus

2

React in Critical Moments

Arrest and reject bindings become second nature when a suspicious driver tries to slip through

3

Play on Any Platform

Compare PC, mobile, and console control differences before switching devices
