The Best Controller Settings For Call of Duty Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone’s highly anticipated integration with Black Ops 6 has completely overhauled the content and gameplay, offering players a fresh experience. To maximize your performance in the popular battle royale game, optimizing your controller settings is essential.

With the introduction of Omnimovement from BO6, which brings significant changes to movement mechanics, it’s important to adjust your settings to match your playstyle. Below are the best controller settings for CoD Warzone on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Best Controller Settings for Call of Duty: Warzone

These Warzone controller settings are optimized to improve accuracy when shooting enemies from different distances and provide smoother movement overall. Yet, the settings outlined below might need to be tailored to suit each player’s personal playstyle, so be sure to make adjustments of your own to find what suits you best.

Inputs Settings

• Button Layout – Tactical Flipped
• Stick Layout – Default
• Horizontal Stick Sensitivity – 7
• Vertical Stick Sensitivity – 7
• Simplified Controls – Off
• Low Motor Strain – Off
• L1 Button Ping – Off
• Swap L1/R1 with L2/R2 – On

Sensitivity settings are ultimately a matter of personal preference, but setting them to seven is recommended, especially with the introduction of Omnimovement in Warzone. This new mechanic grants you more movement options, and a lower sensitivity could considerably affect gameplay flow.

That said, it’s perfectly fine to start with a lower sensitivity to adjust to the new mechanics, and then gradually increase it until you find the sweet spot that works best for you.
