DS Core essentials: earplugs, autorun and vehicle inventory

A quick guide to the DS Core conveniences documented for Badlands: sound controls, autorun and inventory access while seated.

Published

Updated

Small conveniences can make a long session easier. Here is a quick reference to three DS Core tools for everyday play on Badlands.

Earplugs: End

Press End to cycle world sound through 100%, 50% and 20%. Voice chat, radio and music volumes stay unchanged.

Autorun: Home

Press Home to toggle autorun while you steer. Normal stamina and survival limits still apply. Manual movement, opening menus other than the supported player map, entering a vehicle, swimming, ladders, unconsciousness or death cancels autorun.

You can rebind earplugs and autorun under Controls > DS Core.

The supported player map can stay open during autorun. Press your configured autorun key again to stop; opening the map does not start autorun.

Vehicle inventory while seated

Open your normal inventory while seated to access the vehicle you occupy. DayZ’s normal inventory rules still apply; use your usual inventory binding.
