The Weird Controls Challenge in Megabonk is absolutely bonkers (no pun intended). If the game was not already crazy enough, this challenge will have you pulling your hair out. But what if there is a way to crack it quickly?
Megabonk's Weird Controls Challenge simply reverses your camera controls and movements, making the challenge more visually chaotic. It flips the game to the max, making it hard to survive. Thankfully, there is an easy way to make this challenge more fun to the finish.
Let's explore how to conquer the Weird Controls Challenge in Megabonk without breaking a sweat.
How To Complete The Weird Controls Challenge in Megabonk?
Since the Weird Controls Challenge flips the camera and movement controls, the trick here is to understand the crazy changes to invert them manually.
When you choose the Weird Controls in the Challenge section before starting, the game will change-
- Mouse to drag the camera in the opposite direction
- W to pull you backwards, and so on.
Now, your task is to ease up this control and complete the challenge. Before you start the Weird Controls Challenge, head on to Settings --> Controls. Here, invert the controls manually from their default, which means-
- Invert your Horizontal and Vertical Axis.
- Manually invert all your movement keys.
Make sure you change the movement controls in this way-
- S = Forward
- W= Backward
- D= Left
- A= Right
By doing so, the default controls become already wonky, and similar to the Weird Controls Challenge. So, now, when you start the challenge with the already-inverted controls in the Menu, it cancels out the in-game inversion from the Weird Controls Challenge, and your movements and controls line up to normal.
Keep in mind that if you try to change the control setting while inside the Weird Controls Challenge, you will not be able to tweak anything. The game will simply hit you with a “nice try, smartass” message.
Instead, restart your game and adjust the controls from the Main Menu. After this, start the game with the Weird Controls Challenge in Megabonk.
