Optimal Aim Assist Type
Below is a summary of what each aim assist type entails:
- Default: Traditional aim slowdown experienced near targets commonly used in Modern Warfare series.
- Precision: Strong aim slowdown that activates only when nearing a target, making it ideal for precise players.
- Focusing: Significant aim slowdown that activates when narrowly missing a target; best suited for players new to analog aiming.
- Black Ops: Aim slowdown near targets as used in Black Ops titles.
The Focusing option is ideal for newcomers to first-person shooters, but players should transition to other settings once they become more comfortable, as it may feel overly strong.
We suggest trying out various sensitivity adjustments to discover what feels most comfortable for you.
Aim Response Curve Settings
While the Standard curve may feel natural for many Call of Duty players, we recommend switching to Dynamic. This setting works exceptionally well with Warzone’s aim assist, offering more precise control. Trying out Linear is worthwhile, but we wouldn’t prioritize it over Dynamic or Standard.
Here’s a breakdown of the three aim response curves available:
- Standard: A simple power curve mapping from aim stick to aim rate.
- Linear: The aim stick maps directly to aim rate.
- Dynamic: Reverse S-curve mapping for refined aim rate control.
Best FOV Settings for Warzone on Controller
If you’re using a controller, we recommend a Field of View (FOV) setting between 100-115. Given Urzikstan’s vastness, increasing the FOV to 120 could make distant targets appear very small, complicating accuracy when relying solely on thumb inputs.
How to Determine & Test Your Warzone Controller Settings
- Launch Modern Warfare 3
- Select Private Match, then Create New Private Match
- Choose Free-For-All
- Under Game Setup:
- Map: Rust
- Time Limit: Unlimited
- Score Limit: Unlimited
- Radar Always On: Directional
- Spawn Ammo Mags: Max
- Bots: Max
- Bot Level: Recruit
While the settings above provide a strong foundation, individual preferences may vary, so it’s best to play around with them and find what suits you best.
Rust is an excellent map for warming up and optimizing your settings.
If you own Modern Warfare 3, jump into compact maps like Rust or Shipment and battle against lower-level bots to optimize your setup. Alternatively, Warzone’s Plunder mode serves as a fantastic practice environment.
