Defense Grid: The Awakening Mouse and Keyboard Shortcuts

Posted on 05/25/2022 By zZz No Comments on Defense Grid: The Awakening Mouse and Keyboard Shortcuts

This guide provides a useful list of keyboard shortcuts that aren’t mentioned anywhere in the game or its manual.

Mouse Shortcuts

At the start of a mission, before you have placed any towers, you can right-click to begin the mission instead of placing a tower like the prompt in the Tactical Recon bar says to. This allows you to accrue slightly more interest without having to waste some Resources building a tower.

Keyboard Shortcuts

If you hover over an empty space that you can build a tower on, you can press the following number keys (located on the top row of the character keys) to build the tower without having to use the mouse:

  • 1 – Gun
  • 2 – Inferno
  • 3 – Laser
  • 4 – Temporal
  • 5 – Meteor
  • 6 – Cannon
  • 7 – Tesla
  • 8 – Missile
  • 9 – Concussion
  • 0 – Command

Additionally, if you hover over a space that already has a tower on it, you can press the following keys to upgrade or sell the tower:

  • U – Upgrade
  • Shift + U – Sell

Notes:

  • These keyboard shortcuts cannot be performed with your keyboard’s numeric keypad (which is the 3×3 cluster of numbers on the right side, if applicable).
  • If you have the tower context menu open (to build a tower, or upgrade or sell it), you have to close it. The keyboard shortcuts only work if the tower context menu isn’t open.
  • These number key shortcuts are always associated to the listed tower even if you do not have access to certain towers during a mission.
