Salty's Free Look is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Salty's Free Look lets you turn the camera independently while walking, keeping your character's body facing its movement direction.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want smoother scouting, travel, and combat awareness without changing their movement controls. It is useful in both first-person and third-person play.
What Salty's Free Look adds
Hold the Free Look key to rotate the camera independently of your character's body. CAPS LOCK is the default key, so you can check the surroundings while continuing to move forward or steer with WASD.
The feature is deliberately small and focused: it changes how the view behaves rather than adding items, blocks, or new progression. By default the key is held while looking around, while the included configuration can switch the action to a toggle.
Independent camera look while moving
The screenshot illustrates the mod's core feature: the camera can look around while the character keeps moving in the chosen direction. The same free-look behavior is available in third-person views.
