Best Gameplay Settings

These particular settings range from slowing down your sensitivity when aiming at an enemy to automatically mantling an object by simply walking towards it.

Find our recommended settings below:

• Slowdown & Strafing Aim Assist: Enabled
• Airborne Mantle Behaviour: Manual
• Grounded Mantle Behaviour: On Press
• Aim Down Sight Behaviour: Hold
• Steady Aim Behaviour: Hold

Best Graphics Settings

Like all FPS games, having a crystal-clear picture of the battlefield is essential when it comes to having a successful match.

Here are our preferred settings:

• Colour-blind Type: Disabled
• Field of View: 90
• Motion Blur: Disabled

When it comes to field of view, an increase can give you a clearer picture of what is happening in the surrounding area.

For those unfamiliar with the increase, sliding it to 90 gives you optimum graphical performance alongside a clear view of the action.

As always, the FOV setting is down to personal preference, so feel free to tweak it to how you want it!
