Residence Massacre Controls

Residence Massacre runs on Roblox, so your base movement and camera controls inherit the platform defaults — but survival nights fail when teammates use different words for the same input. This page lists PC, mobile, and console controls with the exact verbs you should speak in voice chat: interact, hammer, flashlight, camera monitor, and generator fuel. Pair it with Getting Started for loop context and with Night 1 when you practice muscle memory under mutant pressure.

PC keyboard and mouse

Action	Default input	Co-op callout
Move	W A S D	—
Jump	Space	—
Sprint	Shift (hold)	“sprinting”
Interact / use	E (hold where noted)	“E on ___“
Primary tool	Left mouse	”swinging” / “repairing”
Flashlight toggle	F	”lights on/off”
Camera view	Approach monitor + E	”on cams”
Hammer barricade	Hammer equipped + LMB on plank slot	”hammer north door”
Inventory / hotbar	Number keys 1–4	”slot 2 gas”
Emote menu	. or B	—
Shift lock	Shift (toggle in Roblox settings)	enable for keyboard players

Roblox allows rebinding in Settings → Keyboard. If you remap interact off E, tell your squad — Barricades & Generator callouts assume default keys.

PC tips for horror nights

• Shift lock keeps your flashlight aimed while strafing down hallways during Night 2 blizzard segments.
• Hold E interactions (generator, fuse box, ladder placement) cancel if you tap once; call “holding fuse” so nobody bumps you.
• Lower mouse sensitivity for camera monitor switches — fast flicks cause missed Stalker silhouettes detailed in Camera Setup.

Mobile touch controls

Mobile UI scales by device, but the logical buttons stay consistent:

Action	Touch region	Notes
Move	Left virtual stick	drag sensitivity in Roblox settings
Look	swipe right side	reduce sensitivity for Night 2
Jump	jump icon	parkour not required; don’t spam
Interact	context button (appears near objects)	largest mis-tap source — zoom in first
Sprint	run toggle	hold during gas can runs
Flashlight	tool icon when equipped	add to quick bar
Hammer	equip from hotbar then tap target	use callouts from Night 1
Cameras	interact on monitor	one player on mobile cams is fine

Mobile players excel as radio listeners and repair runners because touch interact is precise when stationary. Avoid owning both ladder placement and hammer duty in the same night — see Camera Setup for ladder routing.

Console (Xbox / PlayStation)

Console mappings follow Roblox’s gamepad template:

Action	Xbox	PlayStation
Move	left stick	left stick
Look	right stick	right stick
Jump	A	Cross
Sprint	press L3	press L3
Interact	X	Square
Primary action	RT	R2
Flashlight	Y or hotbar	Triangle or hotbar
Menu / inventory	View / Menu	Share / Options

Controller players should enable radial tool swap in Roblox settings so hammer → gas can → flashlight swaps do not open the full inventory mid-chase.

Action-specific control depth

Hammer and barricades

Equip hammer, approach a door or window frame with plank slots, and use primary action until the plank locks. During Night 1, the Mutant targets weak planks first — call the side (“piano room window”) not the tool. Hammer swings are louder than footsteps; mute music if you need audio cues from the Night 2 Stalker.

Generator and gas can

Interact on the generator body to pour fuel. The animation locks you in place — this is when teams lose barricades. Pre-call “fueling gen” so hammer player stays on doors. Full fuse and generator timing lives in Barricades & Generator.

Fuse box

Interact to flip blown fuses after overload events. Lights and some cameras dip together — camera player should announce “fuse trip” not just “lights out” so teammates know monitors may glitch.

Ladder and cameras

Place ladder under elevated camera mounts per Camera Setup. Interact to climb, then interact with the camera tool to angle. Lower sensitivity while adjusting — a camera aimed at sky is useless when Night 3 spawns dual pressure.

Radio

Interact to toggle radio audio. No aiming required — perfect for the player who cannot commit to hammer or generator yet. Radio lines often precede blizzard intensification on Night 2 and transition cues into memory content like Mansion Incident.

Flashlight

Toggle when power dies or when entering unlit annex rooms during Memories such as The Bunker. Flashlight battery (if enabled on current patch) drains while on — flick off when passing lit hallways.

Co-op callout sheet (copy to Discord)

E interact | F flashlight | LMB hammer/repair
"on cams" = watching monitors
"fuse trip" = fuse box needs flip
"gen low" = fetch gas can
"hammer [door name]" = active repair

Platform choice for ranked clears

Platform	Strength	Weakness
PC	fastest camera swaps, precise hammer	players forget to call keys
Mobile	stationary interact reliability	sprint + hammer swap friction
Console	comfortable marathon nights	monitor sensitivity tuning needed

Mixed-platform lobbies are normal — align on door names not key names when PC and mobile split duties.

After you memorize controls

Run a daylight dry rep: ladder → four cameras → barricade three doors → fuel generator → flip fuse test. Then enter Night 1 without relearning inputs under mutant stress. Controls do not replace strategy — they let strategy execute when the Stalker already spawned.
