The controls for Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War might feel confusing at first. Follow this guide to learn every hotkey in the game.
The controls for Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War are almost the same as those of the original release. Unfortunately, there is currently no option to rebind the controls. To make matters worse, the game also lacks controller support. This means you will need to rely entirely on the default keybinds.
In this article, we will take a look at the hotkeys in the game that will help you improve your speed and efficiency.
