Context actions
Use the mouse wheel to pick one of the available actions, then press E. Vehicles, water sources, other players and containers each offer their own actions.
Aiming and the camera
Hold the right mouse button to raise your weapon; tap it for the sights. Hold Ctrl while aiming to hold your breath and steady your aim – this costs stamina. Hold the middle mouse button to turn the camera.
