In a recent update, Respawn added a toggle for all platforms to switch between the console and PC assist strengths. To help compensate for the inherent speed and precision advantages of a mouse and keyboard setup, controller players will use 'PC-value aim assist settings' in competition, which is about 50% weaker than the console's default aim assist stickiness. 'The battle between controllers vs mouse and keyboard is about to reach a whole new level of intensity!' Some say increasing your FoV (Field of View) makes targeting more difficult however, I feel as if this is only during the adjustment period, as after the player is used to the new setting, their aim and targeting will be much faster and accurate than before.The addition of Xbox and PlayStation players will bring 'a large majority of our players and fans under the same competitive umbrella,' EA said. This change will increase your aiming ability by simply allowing you to see more and therefore react quicker in short to mid-range gunfights.Īfter changing, you may find that far away enemies may be slightly smaller than you’re used to however, this is easy to adjust to and, ultimately, a small sacrifice for being able to see much more on your screen.

I found the sweet spot to be around 102-106, as this allows you to see a lot more on your screen without limiting how far you can see on the map. Depending on your TV/monitor, you may want to adjust this until you feel comfortable however, if you have never adjusted this setting before, I strongly advise you to turn it up to at least 90 in order to increase the amount you can see on your screen. In the Graphics tab of the settings, you will also find the Field of View slider, a setting that expands the width of your view ranging from 0-120. Of course, if you do experience analog drift with your controller, I would advise you to keep your Deadzone at a comfortable level to counter this, but one can still decrease its value to the point of improvement without causing drift if you play around with it and see what fits best.

However, if you don’t experience analog drift, decreasing its value increases the response time of your analogue movements, which, once you’re used to, will make your aim feel much more responsive, smooth and accurate. Deadzone is the setting used on the controller to stop analog drift by making a small area around the thumbstick unresponsive to minor movements. Many players may not be aware that you can change your Deadzone in the settings, and some may not even know what it is.
