Additional Settings

When you have finished setting up the controller, it is worth moving to secondary parameters. First, we recommend that you increase the Field of View setting to 90 in the Video tab to better see the surrounding enemies. Also, turn off the Motion Blur and Lens Distortion settings, as they can distract you during the match.

Go to the Gameplay settings and turn on Use enemy team colors to better communicate with your teammates. Additionally, we recommend enabling a Center Dot in the Crosshair section to increase your shooting accuracy.
