Best Warzone 2 Xbox controller settings

Input settings

Tactical layout is best for Xbox controllers since it lets you slide, dive, and crouch while your other thumb stays on the right stick, ready to aim at enemies at a moment’s notice.

Flipping the triggers and shoulder buttons is entirely optional, but if you play with the claw grip so you can press buttons faster, you’re best off with this setting turned on.

Aiming settings

Aim assist settings

There’s literally no reason not to use the aim assist setting on Xbox, it’s an advantage every analog-stick-using Xbox player should have on their side.

Warzone 2 offers 4 different aim assist settings to choose from. For our money, Default and Black Ops are your best options for a more traditional slow-down aim assist when your crosshair nears the target.

Precision is only ideal for players who are already a dab hand at popping heads with an Xbox controller, and Focusing is best for those new to shooters like Warzone.

Movement behaviors

The auto move forward setting is only useful if your controller’s left stick doesn’t work. Automatic grounded mantle is more risky than it’s worth, trust us!

Diving is dead handy in Warzone 2 – it’ll get you out of more sticky situations than sliding, so we suggest inverting these settings for the best experience.

Definitely toggle the auto-chute setting off too as you’ll have a stronger advantage over your enemies if you deploy manually, closer to the ground.

Tempting as it may be, resist the urge to crank up the FOV setting and higher than 115 or you risk not being able to spot enemies from afar.

With the Third-Person ADS Transition setting, it’s really all down to personal preference.

Interface settings

When it comes to Warzone 2’s interface settings, they’re all down to personal preference. Play a few games and you’ll soon know how you like your subtitles, the best size for your minimap, and if you need to customize Warzone’s colors at all.
