Best Warzone settings for PC

Low frame rate can put a damper on your kill streaks, and FPS spikes hurt more than a shotgun in close quarters. You don’t need the Ultra HD wall textures and global lighting to get some kills in CoD Warzone. The engine performs well at lower settings, allowing you to squeeze extra, yet stable, frames from your rig. 

Here are the best PC Warzone settings to use:

Best Controller Settings for Warzone

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 nerfed the controller supremacy, but it is still strong if you know what you are doing. The keyboard and mouse are excellent, but if you want the game to help you aim, a controller is your best friend. Here are the best controller settings for Warzone to properly use “sticky aim” in COD. 

Of course, having the best Black Ops 7 loadout can help, too, as Warzone shares some of its DNA with Activision’s latest high-octane FPS.

Best Warzone Settings for Xbox

The Xbox controller is amazing for Call of Duty; the offset analog sticks make for a comfortable gaming experience. We recommend using our controller settings on Xbox, as they are designed for console players. Turn off the controller and trigger vibration options. These are immersive features, but we are playing Warzone to win, not for immersion. 

Best Warzone Settings for PlayStation 

Warzone uses the adaptive triggers on PlayStation. It’s an immersive feature, but it gets old fast, especially when you need a faster trigger response. Resistance can tire your fingers during a long session, so it’s best to disable the feature. Turn off vibration as well to have better recoil control with the controller. 

Our recommended settings are a good start, but with the slightly shorter PlayStation 5 analog sticks, you may want to adjust some settings according to your preferences. 

FAQs

What are the best aim settings for Warzone?

The best aim settings for Warzone are the ones that let you rotate fast but also offer significant slowdowns when aiming down sight. Our recommended aim settings are inspired by pros and provide precise control during ADS.

What settings should I use for Warzone?

The best Warzone settings listed here are just the starting point. Use them as a baseline and adjust them to your preferences. It will take time to adjust; test-drive them for a few matches, then adjust accordingly.

What sensitivity do pros play on Warzone?

Pros generally range from 1.6 to 1.7 for both horizontal and vertical parameters.

How do people aim so well in Warzone?

Players generally use aim assist to “stick” to the target. However, with Black Ops 7, its stickiness is somewhat reduced. However, reasonable recoil control is key to landing most of your shots. Stick with a gun until you nail the recoil; that way, you’ll master it in a multitude of ranges. Many players choose a favourite Black Ops 7 weapon and play with it the whole season.

Is Warzone better on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S?

Both versions are good: PlayStation 5 offers slightly better 120Hz performance, while Warzone on Xbox offers a marginally higher resolution at 60Hz. You can’t go wrong with either version, though.
