Finding the best Black Ops 6 controller settings can take a bit of time as there are so many options you can adjust. A controller is the preferred input for most Call of Duty fans and if you fine-tune your controller settings before loading into the action, the benefits are game-changing.
Mastering Omnimovement alongside slaying with the Jackal PDW is no easy task especially with SBMM creating some extremely competitive lobbies. Thankfully, you can use the best Black Ops 6 controller settings to gain the upper hand over the opposition in those ultra-competitive close-quarters fights where split-second decisions make all the difference.
Best Black Ops 6 controller settings
After spending some time experimenting with various settings to extract the maximum performance, these are the best Black Ops 6 controller settings to use for PlayStation, Xbox, and if you’re using a controller on PC:
Inputs
- Button Layout Preset: Default
- Horizontal Stick Sensitivity: 8
- Vertical Stick Sensitivity: 8
- Simplified Controls: Off
- Bumper Ping: Off
- Flip L1/R1 or LB/RB with L2/R2 or LT/RT: Off
- Stick Layout Preset: Default
- Controller Vibration: Off
- Trigger Effect: Off
You may see some recommendations to switch the button layout preset to Tactical but after some practice, the default preset works just as well. Alongside default, we recommend you increase the sensitivity of both sticks to eight in order to keep up with enemies diving and sliding across your screen during matches.
Switching off any unwanted trigger effects and vibrations is also useful. They may be great for some additional immersion in single-player missions but for the fast pace of multiplayer, they’re more of a hindrance than a help.
Higher sensitivity suits Omnimovement and the fast pace of Black Ops 6 perfectly.
