NPC or DIE — Keyboard & Mouse
Every PC binding for Criminal tasks, Sheriff gunfights, and lobby menus in NPC or DIE.
NPC or DIE PC Controls
Playing NPC or DIE on PC gives you the most precise control over movement and Sheriff aim. Keyboard and mouse inputs map cleanly to Roblox defaults with a few game-specific actions worth memorizing before you queue into public servers. This page covers every PC binding, advanced tips, and troubleshooting for the Wild West social deduction experience.

Movement: WASD Fundamentals
WASD drives all locomotion. Criminals should treat movement like a rhythm game: NPCs follow predictable routes with fixed pauses. Tap directions lightly instead of holding W constantly — real NPCs stop at corners. Sheriffs can hold Shift to sprint between objectives, but sprinting near crowds makes you stand out if you are Criminal.
Strafing with A and D while holding right-click camera (Roblox default) helps Sheriffs track suspects without losing speed. Avoid jumping unless necessary; NPCs rarely bunny-hop through town.
E — The Most Important Key
E is interact for virtually every objective. Criminals press E at glowing task markers to progress the Criminal win condition. Sheriffs use E on certain world objects and lobby vendors. In the lobby, E also confirms purchases when facing shop NPCs.
Pro tip: Stand still for a half-second before pressing E. Moving during interact windows can fail silently on busy task nodes packed with NPC clones.
Mouse Shooting (Sheriff)
When assigned Sheriff, left-click fires your equipped gun. There is no reload mechanic in standard rounds — fire rate depends on the cosmetic weapon you wear. Accuracy is hip-fire only; lead targets who strafe and account for Roblox latency (~50–120 ms on typical connections).
Each wrongful kill — shooting a real NPC or innocent player — removes one of three lives. At zero lives you can no longer shoot. Read our Sheriff tactics guide before hunting in crowded plazas.
Sprint with Shift
Hold Shift to sprint. Criminals should sprint only when far from Sheriff sightlines; NPCs jog at a fixed pace. Sheriffs sprint to rotate across the map when tasks complete on opposite sides. Stamina is unlimited, so the limiter is visibility, not energy.
Chat Commands: /votekick
Press Enter or / to open chat. Type:
/votekick PlayerNameReplace PlayerName with the exact Roblox display name. A vote popup appears for other players. Majority yes removes the target from the server. Use for AFK players, exploiters, or chat spam — not because you suspect someone is Criminal without evidence.
Other chat is standard Roblox; there is no built-in /trade command — trading happens through the lobby trading UI documented on our items hub.
Lobby PC Workflow
Between rounds, use mouse to navigate menus:
- Click the gear icon for Settings and code redemption
- Open Shop for sheriff skins, guns, and houses
- Visit Trading to offer limited items like Knight Lionheart or event Divine sheriffs
All purchases use Cash earned from rounds, quests, and codes — or Robux for premium tiers.
Recommended PC Settings
Inside NPC or DIE settings and Roblox client settings:
- Mouse sensitivity: Medium-high for Sheriff flicks
- Shift lock: Optional; some players enable for third-person aiming
- Graphics: Medium or higher on PC — you need to read NPC animation details
- Fullscreen: Reduces input lag vs windowed
PC Advantage in Trading Lobbies
PC players navigate trading UIs faster with mouse clicks, but trade value is identical across platforms. Before big trades, verify partner inventories and consult our sheriff tier list and gun tier list so you never underpay for a limited Divine skin.
Troubleshooting
- E not working: Check if another Roblox overlay stole focus; re-click the game window
- Cannot shoot: Confirm you are Sheriff this round and still have lives remaining
- Laggy mouse: Lower graphics or close background apps; Roblox CPU spikes hurt aim
PC controls are the competitive standard for high-level Sheriff play. Pair these bindings with criminal blending practice and you will climb levels toward mythical rewards faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What are the WASD controls in NPC or DIE?
WASD moves your character forward, left, backward, and right. Combine with mouse look for camera control. This is standard Roblox movement used in every round.
Which mouse button shoots on PC?
Left mouse button fires your gun when you are the Sheriff. Criminals cannot shoot. You start each Sheriff round with three lives.
How do I use /votekick on PC?
Open chat, type /votekick followed by the player username, and press Enter. Other players vote on the kick. It only removes the player from the current server, not permanently.
Can I rebind E or WASD?
NPC or DIE uses Roblox default bindings. Full remapping requires Roblox-level control changes if supported on your device; most players use default E for interact.
Does PC have better Sheriff aim than mobile?
Generally yes — mouse aiming is more precise than touch. Competitive Sheriff players prefer PC, but skilled mobile Sheriffs can still dominate with practice.
