Voice Commands
This page compiles essential information regarding in-game voice communication and key controls for the Musician class, optimized for both PC and Console (Xbox / PS5) platforms.
I. Proximity Voice Chat (Push-to-Talk)
Holdfast uses a proximity-based voice chat system. Your voice can be heard by any player—friend or foe—who is near your physical location in the game world. The system is always Push-to-Talk (PTT); there is no open microphone or toggle option.
| Action | PC Control (Default) | Xbox Control (Default) | PS5 Control (Default) | Notes |
| Speak (Push-to-Talk) | Hold Y | Hold Y | Hold Triangle (△) | The microphone icon will appear above your health bar while the button is held. |
| Mute All In-Game Voice | Press K | N/A (Use Settings Menu) | N/A (Use Settings Menu) | Toggles on/off all incoming player voice chat. A disabled audio icon will appear on the HUD. |

Console Voice Chat Troubleshooting
- Party Chat Conflict: If you are in an Xbox Live Party or a PlayStation Party, your in-game Push-to-Talk may not work. You may need to switch your console's party settings from "Party Chat" to "Game Chat (Priority)" or adjust the in-game audio settings to ensure the microphone is routed to the game. On some consoles, simply holding the PTT button (
Y/△) may allow you to bypass the party chat and speak in-game without changing priority.
III. Officer/Sailor Order Voice Commands
This system uses a menu to select pre-recorded voice lines to issue commands to your unit or fellow crew. These commands do not use your microphone.
| Action | PC Control (Default) | Xbox Control (Default) | PS5 Control (Default) | Notes |
| Open Voice Command Menu | Hold V | Hold View Button (or equivalent on your controller) | Hold Touchpad Button (or equivalent on your controller) | This opens the wheel/list of pre-recorded orders. |
| Issue Command | Click on the desired command. | Press A (Xbox) or X (PS5) to select a command. | Commands are class-specific (Officer/Sailor/Sergeant). |
