Call of Duty is an immensely popular first-person shooter with millions of players, where quick and precise aim is key to easily eliminating enemies. While using a controller offers the benefit of Aim Assist, optimizing its effectiveness in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 requires fine-tuning each of its settings.
Since Treyarch's game brings a lot of changes to the game's settings, mainly in the movement section, these must be perfectly adjusted to your playstyle. That being said, here are the best controller settings for Black Ops 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Every Feature Confirmed for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Explained
The release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is right around the corner, and fans can expect a lot of exciting features across its three distinct modes.
Best Controller Settings For Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6
It’s important to note that the settings listed below may require individual adjustments to fit each player's gameplay style. However, these controller settings are designed to enhance precise shooting and fluid movement throughout.
Input Settings
- Button Layout – Tactical
- Stick Layout – Default
- Horizontal Stick Sensitivity – 1.90
- Vertical Stick Sensitivity – 1.90
- Simplified Controls – Off
- Low Motor Strain – Off
- L1 Button Ping – Off

Setting the Sensitivity to eight might feel too high for some players. However, it’s crucial due to the introduction of Omnimovement in Black Ops 6 since you now have more movement capabilities than before. Lowering it further can negatively impact the overall feel and gameplay flow. However, feel free to start by lowering it to get accustomed to the new mechanics, then gradually increase it until you find the optimal threshold that suits you.
With the Season 1 Reloaded update, Treyarch adjusted the sensitivity scale from a 1-20 range to a 0.10-4.00 range, which may impact your aiming accuracy in the game. To ensure your settings remain consistent, double-check your sensitivity values. Here’s an updated table aligning the new scale with the previous system for reference:
