Sniper Elite: Resistance keeps Sniper Elite 5's keyboard layout almost untouched: Left Ctrl crouches, C toggles the scope and pacifies up close, and Q opens the radial menu but trims zeroing once you are scoped in. New for co-op are radial Request (R) and Pass (E) keys plus separate voice and text chat. Both the keys and the Classic controller layout come from Rebellion's screenshots of the game's own Controls screens.
