If you play Warzone with a controller, regardless of your platform, you can easily give yourself an edge over the competition by optimising and finetuning controller settings that you might not be aware of.

If you're playing Warzone with a controller – whether that's on Xbox, PlayStation or PC – it's super important that you're using the best Warzone controller settings. It's fair to say that a lot of people are sleeping on this aspect of the game, and while you don't need to be an esports pro to care about these tweaks, it's an easy way to give your performance a bump in Call of Duty – even against players using a keyboard and mouse.

There's a lot to think about when it comes to the best Warzone controller settings, whether it's deadzone adjustments, aim assist, ADS sensitivity, or even your aim response curve. But, you can relax, because we've done all the research and hard work for you. Here are our recommendations for the best Warzone controller settings, whether you're on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, or PC, using a Sony, Microsoft or third-party controller.

Best Warzone controller settings

To finetune your Warzone controller settings, simply press the start button and make your way to the settings menu, where you'll see the controller sub-menu. It's the same process regardless of the platform you're on. Of course, the best Warzone controller settings will be somewhat subjective depending on your playstyle, but our recommendations are a great baseline which you can build on according to your preferences.

Inputs

  • Edit Button Layout: Default (change depending on your preferences)
  • Bumper Bing: On
  • Flip LB/LT and RB/RT: Off
  • Stick Layout Preset: Default
  • Controller Vibration: Off

Inputs Deadzone

Before setting your Warzone Inputs Deadzone, use the Test Stick Deadzone option to see how your controller reacts. For the Min value, you want to select the lowest possible number you can, without there being any drift from your sticks. From my experience, with an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, I found having the Stick Min set to four worked for me, but again, your controller may be different.

  • ADS Sens Multiplier (6x-7x Zoom): 0.90

  • ADS Sens Multiplier (8x-9x Zoom): 0.90

  • ADS Sens Multiplier (High Zoom): 0.90

When it comes to the best Warzone controller settings, in my experience, the Dynamic Aim Response Curve Type gives you better control of your weapon when firing, allowing for more precision.

Aim Assist

  • Target Aim Assist: On
  • Aim Assist Type: Black Ops

Although there's not much between them, I prefer the Black Ops Aim Assist over the Default Aim Assist option, but if you're used to the unique way that Precision Aim Assist works, it's probably better to stick with that.

  • Automatic Sprint: Automatic Tactical Sprint

  • Auto Move Forward: Off

  • Tactical Sprint Behaviour: Single Tap Sprint

  • Grounded Mantle: Off

  • Automatic Airborne Mantle: Off

  • Automatic Ground Mantle/Hang: Off

Every other setting within the controller menu can be left as default, but follow the above guidelines for our best Warzone controller settings recommendations, to help you have an edge in Urzikstan and get those all-important eliminations. Now you've got this sorted, make sure you're running the best Warzone graphics settings, to give you an even bigger advantage over other players.
