Commanding Troops in Action Mode | WARSHIFT 2

WARSHIFT · published 13 Jul 2026, 18:28 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Following numerous player requests, I have added the ability to command your troops directly while playing in Action Mode. You can now lead groups of units across the battlefield or call in artillery and air support at the right moment without switching back to RTS Mode. This feature created a surprisingly engaging new way to play, and it is definitely worth trying.

To get started, create unit control groups in RTS Mode by pressing Ctrl + 1–9. You can create up to nine groups.

Then switch to Action Mode and select a unit group using the 1–9 keys. Press 0 to clear the current selection.

You can issue the following commands:

E — Send the selected units to the location targeted by sight of your combat avatar.

T — Activate Artillery Mode.

Y — Activate Guard Mode.

U — Activate Patrol Mode.

I — Stop and cancel all current orders.

I would also like to remind you that the WARSHIFT 2 Feedback Survey is still available. Your answers will help me understand what should be improved before the game’s release: WARSHIFT 2 - Player Feedback / QA Survey
