# CODM keymap doesn't work in Battle Royale mode (works in Multiplayer)

Your CODM keymap is applied via Smart Tool and works perfectly in Multiplayer matches. Then you queue into Battle Royale and most of the buttons don't respond — movement still works, but specific BR-only actions (vehicle entry, parachute deploy, ping system, healing items) either don't bind or trigger the wrong action. Reported framing:

"I uploaded a keymap, but the buttons don't work in Battle Royale. If I play on my main account, is there a ban risk or not?" — isaacarchi

"new br keymap is messy btwww" — Fl'/nn (community signal that the latest BR keymap has known issues)

Symptoms:

  WASD and aim work normally.
  Reload button works.
  Vehicle interaction (F key) works inconsistently.
  Inventory / backpack key bound but does nothing.
  Healing items (medkits, syringes) inaccessible.
  Ping system + map open key bound but trigger nothing.


Root cause: CODM's MP and BR modes have completely different on-screen UI layouts. A keymap calibrated for MP's UI positions has buttons in pixel locations that don't correspond to BR's UI. Smart Tool ships separate MP / BR / DMZ keymaps for this reason — using the MP keymap in BR is the most common cause.
