Warzone is an incredibly dynamic game, and the average combat encounter could see you transition from sprint to slide and from strafing wildly to aiming down sights, all at a moment’s notice. It is imperative to have a tight handle on the game’s controls to keep pace with its demanding nature. This is especially true following the BR title’s integration with Black Ops 6, which introduced new movement mechanics. To ensure that you’re in complete control of your Operator, here are the best Warzone controller settings to use in 2025.
Best Controller Settings for Warzone
Our Warzone controller settings recommendations are based on personal experience and plenty of trial and error. While things like sensitivity and control presets can come down to personal preference, options related to behavior settings and assists should positively impact all players.
Best Warzone Input Settings
- Aiming Input Device: Controller
- Stick Layout Preset: Tactical
- Horizontal Stick Sensitivity: 7
- Vertical Stick Sensitivity: 7
- Simplified Controls Preset: Off
- Low Motor Strain Preset: Off
- Bumper Ping: Off
- Swap L1/R1 or LB/RB with L2/R2 or LT/RT: Off
- Stick Layout Preset: Default
- Controller Vibration: Off
- Trigger Effect: Off
As mentioned earlier, the ideal sensitivity setting will differ from player to player. With that being said, 7 for both Horizontal and Vertical Stick Sensitivity offers a solid balance of swiftness and precision. But feel free to move the numbers around and find the most comfortable setting. Turning off Controller Vibration is a must, especially in competitive lobbies where there’s no room for any distraction. The same can also be said for the Trigger Effect option.

Sprint Assist enhances your Operator’s movement by allowing you to Tac Sprint in any direction. This setting is essential for BO6’s Omnimovment, since you can shift through the gears quickly in any direction. Another important setting in the movement section is Mantle Cancel Reload. We recommend turning this off immediately, as it can unnecessarily cancel the reload animation while you’re about to mantle an object or a wall.

Best Field of View (FOV) Settings for Warzone
The FOV setting dictates how much of the game world is visible on the screen. Higher FOV settings pull the camera further away from the player, broadening the perspective and allowing them to see more of their surroundings. In contrast, lower FOV settings narrow the camera focus and hone in on what’s immediately in front of the player. Both approaches have their pros and cons, and the ideal setting usually hinges on personal preference. With that being said, here’s what we recommend:
- Field of View: 105
- ADS Field of View: Affected
- Weapon Field of View: Wide
- Vehicle Field of View: Default
That wraps up our guide on the best controller settings for Warzone. What is your preferred FOV setting? Let us know in the comments below.
