How to use Proximity Voice Chat Push to Talk in Dark and Darker

This will likely lead to some great clips.

Dark and Darker is the latest game to join the loot extraction genre, although it brings a unique twist that it’s based on classic Dungeons and Dragons tropes. Players can embark with their parties into a large dungeon network and will often encounter other players.

As part of the game, you can turn on and off proximity voice chat to talk to your party or other players, so long as you know which button requests.

How to enable proximity voice chat in Dark and Darker

When you open up Dark and Darker, you must click on the Options button and then scroll to the Audio tab. You can disable voice chat entirely or allow it to be broadcast only to your party. If it is set to Push to Talk, you’ll need to press the specific hotkey. The hotkeys for VOIP include:

  • Voice Chat On/Off: Comma
  • Voice Chat Mode Select: Period
  • Voice Chat Push-to-Talk: B

While in the settings menu, you can change the push-to-talk button to whatever you want or turn it off completely. You don’t need to keep it on but we advise doing so if you want to interact with other players and potentially save your life.

You need to be very close to a person to hear them and for them to hear you, as too far away, say a few meters, is enough for proximity voice chat not to work. So do be careful if you need to approach someone to hear them, you might be walking into a trap.
