Best Warzone controller settings for aim assist, sensitivity & more

Warzone can be challenging at the best of times, so optimizing your controller settings is essential to make the experience easier.

With the return of Verdansk and the time-to-kill being drastically sped up, Warzone has arguably never been more challenging. There are plenty of ways to get ahead, such as running a meta loadout or a one-shot Sniper Rifle, but none of that matters if you’re aim isn’t on point.

To ensure you’re hitting headshots consistently, you’ll need to tweak your settings to get the maximum performance.

Sensitivity is all down to personal preference. I prefer running 7-7 in Warzone and Black Ops 6 but you can experiment with something lower or higher to find what you’re most accurate with.

If you don’t have a controller with back paddles then the Tactical preset might be for you, as sliding, diving, and going prone are controlled by the analog stick, so you can still aim while drop-shotting. Also, if you’re looking for the fastest reaction times, moving the fire button to R1/RB lets you shoot much faster, as there’s no button travel time.

While controller vibration might feel more immersive in campaign or zombies, it’s an unnecessary distraction in multiplayer.

Dead Zone Inputs

Setting	Option
Left Stick Min	0
Left Stick Max	0.85
Right Stick Min	0
Right Stick Max	0.99
Left Trigger	0
Right Trigger	0

When it comes to the best Dead Zone settings, you’ll want to have the left and right stick set as low as possible without getting stick drift. Start at zero, then slowly increase the value until the stick drift stops.

You’ll also want to set the right and left trigger to 0 so your controller will register the input straight away.
