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. In this guide, we’ll share what we’ve found to be the best controller settings in BO6, so you can 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 for Xbox and Playstation

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 and Xbox (and even if you’re using a controller on PC):

Inputs

Controller settings are key to success. Captured by VideoGamer

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 8 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.

Deadzone input settings

The deadzone is extremely important especially if you’re using an older controller that is suffering from stick drift. To make aiming feel natural and like other Call of Duty games, these settings act as the perfect baseline. You can fine-tune the deadzone to compensate for any stick drift to maintain high levels of accuracy throughout the match.

How to test Black Ops 6 controller settings

The best way to test your controller settings is by loading into a training drill. The lack of opposition trying to take you down is the perfect setting to duck, dive, and slide without the fear of being eliminated. If you want to further test the best Black Ops 6 controller settings for you, we recommend loading into a private match with a handful of bots to get familiar with the different levels of aim assist and stick sensitivity.

After setting up the controller, you may want to switch over to PC and we have the best settings for mouse and keyboard as well. Also, make sure to set up your graphics settings to get the most FPS you can, so your AS VAL aim is never less than crisp.
