The following Controls are for the RTS mode when riding the  Exo-Mek. The Exo-Mek Tekgram is required, which is earned by defeating at any difficulty  Rockwell Prime. Single Player Survivors and server admins can use the Creative Mode to bypass the Tekgram limitation. In any case, using the RTS mode will still consume  Element as Exo-Mek fuel.
