• FPP camera
• TPP camera

Changing the perspective in control settings

1. In the control settings, you can find the Perspective change option - it is responsible for switching between FPP and TPP cameras. The mouse wheel is responsible for this by default, but you can assign a different key or mouse button.
2. Switching the camera is possible in those scenes in which you have control over the character. You can't change the camera, for example during a conversation or a cut-scene.

FPP camera

1. The default camera is a first-person perspective. You do not see the character you created, nor their spacesuit or other elements of attire. Only the drawn weapon may appear on the screen.

TPP camera

1. There are 2 variants of the third-person perspective. The camera can be close behind the protagonist or be further away. This way you will see the whole character on the screen.
2. TPP camera allow you to see your character and all the equipment elements they have. You can also move the camera and look at the character from the front.
3. The third-person view does not affect the gameplay. You travel and fight in the same way. You also don't have to reload the game after changing the camera.
