Unlocking The Free Camera Mode In Conan Exile

Conan Exiles is an open-world, survival game set in the Conan the Barbarian universe. The game features brutal combat, with players able to cut off limbs and heads, and frequent bloodshed. Nudity is also an option that players can choose to enable. The game offers a vanity camera option, which can be found under the keybindings section of the settings menu. This allows players to view themselves in-game and toggle between first and third-person perspectives.

Toggle vanity camera in settings

To enter free mode camera on Conan Exiles, you can toggle the vanity camera in your settings.

The vanity camera is a "free camera" option that lets you view yourself. It is listed under the keybindings section of your settings menu. To access this, open the Main Menu, then select Settings, and then Keybindings. Here, you will find the option to toggle the vanity camera.

The vanity camera forces the player into third-person mode with their character visible. This can be useful for getting a better view of your character or taking screenshots. However, note that if you get up from a chair while in vanity camera mode, the camera angle will be stuck in free-look, and your character will be stuck on permanent strafe.

You can also toggle between first-person and third-person views by using the max zoom function.

Controls are customisable

Controls in Conan Exiles are customisable. You can access the customisation options by opening the menu and selecting "Main Menu". From there, you can navigate to the Keybindings section of your settings.

In the "Keybindings" section, you can create custom keybindings to personalise your controls. Additionally, you can use an alternative setup to further customise your controls.

Conan Exiles also offers full controller support, allowing you to use a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse if you prefer.

• Climb: Hold the designated button to climb. However, you cannot climb entities or plants.
• Basic movement keys: You can set your preferred keys for basic movement.
• Toggle: Directional commands that disable AutoRun until reapplied.
• Rotate Counterclockwise: Use the designated keys to rotate counterclockwise.
• Tilt Left and Right: Use the scroll wheel or designated keys to tilt your character left or right.
• Toggle Inventory/Crafting: You can toggle between category filters in the crafting menu and inventory.
• Navigate Chat Window: Use the designated keys to target all players, nearby players, or guild members.
• 1st/3rd Person Camera: Max zoom toggles between the first and third-person camera views.
• Toggle Vanity Camera: This allows you to view yourself and is separate from the free camera mode.

Use keybindings to enter free mode

To enter free mode in Conan Exiles, you can use the "vanity camera" option. This is a free camera that lets you view yourself and move the camera around. It is listed under the keybindings section of your settings menu.

Keybindings are customizable in Conan Exiles, allowing you to set hotkeys for controls and admin commands. To set up a keybinding, go to the settings menu and select "Keybindings." Here, you will see a list of specified keys or combinations of keys, along with their corresponding actions or commands. You can edit these to your preferred setup.

It's important to note that not all keybindings can be edited from the UI. Some keybindings, such as the development console, are permanently bound and cannot be changed. Additionally, some keybindings can only be edited by manually adjusting the Input.ini file found in the Steam folder for the game.

By using the keybindings options, you can set up a hotkey for the vanity camera option, allowing you to quickly enter free mode and move the camera as needed. This can be especially useful for taking screenshots, recording clips, or simply exploring the game world from different perspectives.

View coordinates in a small window

To view your coordinates in a small window while playing Conan Exiles, you can use the following controls:

Right Control + Right Shift + Right Alt + L

This key combination will open a window displaying your coordinates and enable you to copy them for use elsewhere. To close the window, simply repeat the same key combination.

This feature can be particularly useful for bug-fixing or sharing your location with other players. Additionally, you can take a screenshot by clicking the "Screenshot/Save" option, or you can save and copy the screenshot by clicking "Save Copy."

Keep in mind that the controls may vary slightly depending on your platform and control setup. The above controls are listed for the PC version of the game.

Take a screenshot

To enter free-mode camera on Conan Exiles, you can use the "vanity camera" option. This lets you view yourself and is listed under the keybindings section of your settings menu.

To take a screenshot, you can use the following methods, depending on your device:

PC

If you're playing on a PC, simply press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard to take a screenshot. This button is usually abbreviated as "PrtSc" or "PrtScn" and is located near the top right of your keyboard.

Once you've pressed the "Print Screen" button, the screenshot will be copied to your clipboard, and you can then paste it into an image editing software like Paint or Photoshop to save it as a file. Alternatively, you can use the "Windows + PrtSc" keyboard shortcut to save the screenshot directly to your "Pictures > Screenshots" folder.

PlayStation

If you're playing on a PlayStation console, press the "Share" button on your controller to take a screenshot. This will bring up the Share menu, where you can choose to save the screenshot or share it directly to your social media accounts.

Xbox

For Xbox consoles, press the "Xbox" button on your controller to open the guide. Then, select "Capture and Share" and choose "Take Screenshot." The screenshot will be saved to your Xbox's hard drive, and you can view it by going to "Gallery" and then "On this Xbox."

Steam

If you're playing Conan Exiles through Steam, you can use the built-in screenshot feature. To do this, open the Steam overlay by pressing "Shift + F12" or the "F12" key on your keyboard. Then, click on the "Screenshots" tab and select "Take Screenshot." The screenshot will be automatically saved to your Steam library, and you can view it by going to "View > Screenshots" in the Steam client.

Remember to ensure your game settings are correct and that you have the latest version of the game installed to access these features without issues.
