Some Songs

This part of the article does not reflect any ingame benefits at all and is just intended for players who want to have fun and maybe roleplay a little bit with their friends.

Here is a list with some songs and how to play them with the default keybinds in the PC version of the game. This very same songs can also be played in the console versions, but using the gamepad keys instead of the keypad numbers.

To understand what you are looking at:

• Each row is a phrase
• Consecutive numbers have to be played in a fast sequence, but not at the same time (that would be a chord)
• Numbers in brackets have to be played at the same time (chords, octaves and similar stuff)
• A ♭ before a number represents a flat note, played with the down arrow ↓ as a default keybind on PC.
• A ♯ before a number represents a sharp note, played with the up arrow ↑ as a default keybind on PC.
