 In addition to this equipment, Battle Armor are able to sprint using the (by default) ''Left Shift'' key, similar to a Battlemech equipped with [[MASC]], except that you cannot fire while sprinting.

 As a single Battle Armor actually represents ''Five'' Battle Armor from the Battletech board game, their weapon firepower has been significantly boosted. Unlike mechs, who can fire all of their weapons simultaneously, BA can only fire one weapon at a time. To maximize damage output, BA must juggle their weapons between weapon 1, weapon 2, and SRM all while using their jump jet fuel sparingly to avoid running out, but enough to avoid getting shot.

 The BA is equipped with a [[Battle Armor Weapons#Small Laser|Small Laser]] as a primary weapon and a secondary [[Light Machine Gun]]. '''[Right Click]''' to fire the Light Machine Gun.

 Other weapons like [[Battle Armor Weapons#SRM-2|SRM-2]] missiles, [[BA TAG]], [[Grenade Launcher]], etc can be purchased. Note: BA SRM-2 must be dry-fired one time to trigger a reload. After purchasing BA SRM-2, use the '''[scroll wheel]]'' or press the '''[3]''' key to switch to missile mode. Use '''[Left Click]''' twice to begin reloading both SRM-2 tubes. This also allows the player to purchase two more SRM-2 missiles.

 Battle Armor are equipped in three default features:
 *[[Jump Jets]] Allow Battle Armor it to fly for limited time, or cover great distances quickly in bursts ''(Like 'mechs, Battle armor suffer no falling damage)''
-In low gravity environments, BA are able to change their thrust vector by aiming up and down, and roll left or right (''X'' and ''C'' keys by default). This allow the battle armor increased control and maneuverability - allowing them to handle similar to a [[VTOL]]
+By using '''[space]''' and '''[wasd]''' at the same time, BA can vector their jump jet thrust similarly to mechs.<br>
 *[[Standard Optics]] allowing them to zoom-in for more accurate fire
 *[[Night Vision]] for night operations
