Island Battle Royale Settings and Controls, Explained in English

Island Battle Royale was made for Chinese players, and on this site every menu, message and bot name has been translated into English. Here is what each option and key actually does, plus the settings that make it run well on a Chromebook.

The main menu

• Games / Wins / Kills / Win rate (top right) — your record, saved in this browser.
• Match slider — how long a match lasts. Longer matches mean more time to loot before the final circle.
• Respawn slider — seconds before you return after being eliminated.
• Weather — Sunny, Rain, Dusk, Fog or Night. Fog and Night make long-range fights harder for you and the bots; Night is the only weather where the flashlight (L) works.
• 3rd person / 1st person — the camera. V switches it during the match too.
• 5–30 ppl — how many players, you included.
• Easy / Normal / Hard bots — how well the computer players aim and move.
• Low / Medium / High / Ultra — graphics quality.
• About / Updates (top left) — the author's credits and the original change list (new SKS, weather, a car, smarter bots, vaulting through windows, Alt free look).

Every key

The game shows a key chart while the match loads. In short: WASD to move, Shift to sprint, Space to jump, left click to shoot or punch, right click to scope, R to reload, X to put the gun away, 1/2/3 for the weapon slots, F for doors, loot, the parachute and the car, Tab for the backpack, M for the map, V for the camera, Alt to look around without turning, L for the flashlight, Esc for settings.

The settings screen (Esc)

Five sensitivity sliders — hip fire, iron sights, 2x, 4x and 8x scope — let you slow the mouse down only when zoomed, which makes sniping far easier. Below them are four switches: AA (anti-aliasing), DoF (depth of field), Blur (motion blur) and Stable (locks the game at 30 frames per second). Resume goes back to the match, Main menu ends it.

Making it run on a Chromebook

1. Low graphics and 5 or 10 players on the menu.
2. In Esc settings, leave AA, DoF and Blur off; turn Stable on if the frame rate jumps around.
3. Sunny weather — rain adds particles.
4. Close other tabs. The first load is about 70 MB; after that the browser keeps it.

The Cheat menu

The red button on the menu opens a panel from the original game: no recoil, bullets through walls, box and radar ESP, god mode, speed, noclip, going underground, air jumps, dark sky, no grass, no trees and a tech gun. The numpad picks and toggles them, Home hides the list, and they only switch on after you land. They last for one match, and a win with cheats gets its own, less proud, victory line. It is a sandbox toy — fun once, but the real game is winning without it.
