Separate Jump and Vault keybinds
Separate Jump and Vault keybinds would be a great QoL improvement for Battlefield 1.
I already made a post about this, but it wasn’t a suggestion thread, it was just asking whether those keys could be bound somewhere in a config file, so I decided to open a new discussion.
Right now, one of the most frustrating movement issues in BF1 is that jump and vault are tied together. In a lot of situations, especially around windows, low walls, trench edges, rubble, and other cover, pressing Space does not just make you stand up or jump. It can force you into a vault or climb animation instead.
That is a problem because once the vault starts, youre often fully committed to the animation. You can get pulled over cover, pushed onto higher ground, or even thrown out of a window when all you really wanted to do was stand up from crouch or make a small reposition. That can instantly expose you to enemies and ruin your position.
A simple fix would be to add separate binds like:
- Jump/Vault
- Jump Only
- Vault Only
This kind of split keybind setup has already become pretty standard in modern FPS games, and it would fit naturally in BF1 as a basic control option.
That way, players who like the current system could keep it exactly as it is, while players who want more control could split the actions.
I also hope it doesnt start to feel like once a new Battlefield is out, older titles are no longer worth improving with small bug fixes, control updates, and quality of life changes. A lot of players still actively play these games. On Steam alone, Battlefield 1 peaked at 21,664 players in March 2026, and Battlefield V peaked at 18,557 in the same month, which shows there is still a very real audience for continued technical polish and small gameplay improvements in older Battlefield titles.
I think this would be a small change, but a really good one for movement consistency.
What do you all think?
Do you run into this issue too?
Would you actually use separate Jump Only and Vault Only binds if BF1 had them?
