Shadow and Lighting

Environment

  • Tessellation: Off
  • Volumetric Quality: Medium
  • Deferred Physics Quality: Low
  • Weather Grid Volumes: Low
  • Water Quality: All

View Settings

  • Motion Reduction Preset: Off
  • Field of View: 120
  • ADS Field of View: Affected
  • Weapon Field of View: Wide
  • 3rd Person Field of View: 90
  • Vehicle Field of View: Wide

Adjustable Field of View (FoV), available on both PC and consoles in modern Call of Duty titles, enables players to control how much of the game world they can see on their screens. Setting the FoV to the maximum (120) widens your vision field, making it easier to spot enemies and reducing the chance of surprise attacks. However, this setting can reduce clarity at longer distances. If 120 feels too wide, consider starting with a FOV of 90 or 100 and gradually increasing it as you become more comfortable.

Camera

  • World Motion Blur: Off
  • Weapon Motion Blur: Off
  • 1st Person Camera Movement: Least (50%)
  • 3rd Person Camera Movement: Least (50%)
  • 3rd Person ADS Transition: 3rd Person ADS
  • Inverted Flashbang: On

Given how fast-paced Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is, disabling all Motion Blur will help ensure you don’t miss any activity in your surroundings. Plus, with the addition of Omnivmovement, since you'll now be moving quickly in any direction, you'll be able to spot enemies with ease and attack them faster as a result.
