Warzone Controller Sensitivity

[Macczerr]

Hi guys,

playing a lot of warzone lately and starting to question my sensitivity mainly the ADS low and high zoom specifically, I currently play on 6-6, and Low zoom 0.65 high zoom 0.65, This is PS4 controller by the way,

what settings would you guys recommend in general as when I up my sensitivity now I loose accuracy majorly being so used to the settings above,

question being keep this settings or start the grind to alter to higher ?
Any advice appreciated!

I've battled with this a lot. Sensitivity is definitely not a "one size fits all". That being said I've experimented enough to provide a few insights.

1. Vertical recoil is "exaggerated" when using magnification. This means you'll need to compensate more (by looking down) while firing on full auto. The lower your high zoom settings, the more you'll have to pull back on the thumbstick to adjust for muzzle climb. For this reason, I recommend using a higher value for high zoom sensitivity. I personally leave high zoom sensitivity at 1.0 and set low zoom sensitivity at 0.8.

2. Response curve drastically impacts how sensitivity it perceived depending on your fine motor control. I find that the dynamic response curve allows me to more efficiently use higher sensitivity settings without "over sweeping" while aiming. I have vertical, and horizontal, set at 12. On the other response curves, it's not as manageable. I find that this combination gives me a lot of fine adjustment control, while also enabling me to quickly spin around when approached from behind.

3. Aim assist settings come into play as well. For me, I find that "precision" works the best because it drastically lowers the sensitivity when I'm actually on target. Since the "slow down" effect doesn't kick in until I'm on target, I can still snap to targets very quickly.

I recommend setting up a private match with bots. This will allow you to try different setting combinations without constantly getting slaughtered. My "go-to" was Free for All mode, on Shoot House, with 11 bots set to recruit. This will give you a great opportunity to test quickly snapping to targets from all directions.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the response! Very interesting information to consider, yeah I just feel .65 is too low for both of them so will definitely
Take up the bot match to play around with the sensitivity and find the ideal,

Thanks for the input!
