Trench Decay Tools
Fast reference pages built for mid-match lookups — no ten-minute guide scroll while your squad holds extraction.
Long-form guides win theorycraft sessions. Tools win the thirty seconds between a gas alarm and your squad’s extract timer. TRENCH: DECAY is a WW1 squad PvE FPS on Roblox by studio rook. where forgetting a single binding — prone under wire, block during a melee elite, Tab before a holdout — can wipe four players and waste Live War Map progress. This hub collects compact, scannable references you can keep open on a second monitor or phone without reading six hundred words mid-firefight.
Tools are not cheats. They mirror official defaults from the in-game Preferences menu and cross-link to deeper guides when you have downtime in the hub.
Featured tools
- Controls Cheatsheet — every default binding in one mid-match table.
- Extract Checklist — yes/no gates before you light the beacon so loot greed and gas do not erase the run.
Controls Cheatsheet
The Controls Cheatsheet is the first tool on this wiki. It packages every confirmed default binding in one table:
- Shift sprint with stamina discipline
- C crouch and prone toggles for trench profile
- X stand from prone before relocating
- Tab inventory checks for ammo and meds
- Q / E lean peeks without full body exposure
- T kick to create space in chokepoints
- LMB / RMB light and heavy melee chains
- B block for frontal damage absorption
- G interact for crates, doors, and extraction beacons
The cheatsheet includes practical tips per key cluster — when to prone during gas segments, how lean pairs with squad callouts, and why Tab belongs in quiet lulls not open lanes. A mid-page marker reserves space for a future interactive controls component so PC players can filter by action without leaving the page.
For narrative context and platform notes (mobile touch, controller glyphs), still read the full Controls guide when you are not in a live server.
Why tools exist alongside guides
Guides on the Guides Hub teach why mechanics matter — extraction pacing, Commissar tutorial flow, Live War Map strategy. Tools answer what key do I press right now when:
- A teammate yells “gas left” and you forgot prone versus crouch.
- You hear melee elites behind sandbags and cannot remember block versus heavy swing.
- Extraction started and someone needs an inventory call before the wave spikes.
Alt-tabbing to a six-section guide during combat breaks focus and annoys squads waiting on you. Bookmark tools on a phone or overlay-friendly window instead.
When to use tools vs full guides
| Situation | Use this |
|---|---|
| First hour, never deployed | Getting Started |
| Learning extract timing and loot order | How to Extract |
| Mid-match binding forgot | Controls Cheatsheet |
| About to light extract beacon | Extract Checklist |
| Patch dropped, verify bindings | Cheatsheet + Controls guide Preferences section |
| Planning medals spend between runs | Weapons Tier List or Codes Hub |
Tools shine in repeatable muscle-memory gaps. Guides shine when you have ten minutes in the hub menu.
Squad workflow with tools
Assign one squadmate (often the anchor role from Squad Roles) to keep the cheatsheet visible during first beta nights. Others drill:
- Lean clear — Q/E peek, crouch, sprint back.
- Melee triangle — block, heavy, light on idle targets.
- Tab under timer — three-count inventory open/close before pushes.
Public lobbies benefit too: paste the cheatsheet link in chat so strangers align on kick (T) and interact (G) during extraction beacons.
What is not in Tools
This category will not host third-party executables, autofarm scripts, or exploit downloads. For honest context on why script searches are risky in early beta, read the Scripts Hub — then return here for legitimate quick references.
Coming tools philosophy
studio rook. ships frequent BETA 1.1.x updates. When new actions appear in Preferences, tools update first with tables; guides follow with tactics. The Extract Checklist already covers beacon-phase gates — future tools may add gas-timer references. Each tool must stay scannable with links outward, not duplicate entire hub pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What is the difference between tools and guides on this wiki?
Tools are short, scannable references for mid-match lookups — like the controls cheatsheet. Guides are long-form explainers for learning mechanics during downtime in the hub.
Can I use the controls cheatsheet on mobile?
Yes. Keep the cheatsheet page open on a phone or tablet beside your device. Roblox mobile uses on-screen buttons, but the action names match what Preferences lists on PC.
Will tools include scripts or exploits?
No. Tools only cover legitimate in-game references. For script safety context, read the Scripts Hub — we do not distribute third-party executables.
Do controls change after updates?
studio rook. can adjust defaults in beta patches. Re-check the cheatsheet and Preferences menu after major updates listed on the Updates Hub.
Which tool should I bookmark first?
Start with the Controls Cheatsheet if you already finished Getting Started. It covers every default key in one table with combat tips per cluster.
