Latest Sensitivity Settings Information
Sensitivity Settings Can Be Lowered to 20%
Previously, sensitivity could be set from 50% to 150%. With the update on Thursday, November 10, 2022, it can now be set from 20% to 150%. Those seeking even lower sensitivity should try adjusting it.
Sensitivity Standards
Higher Sensitivity is Advantageous for Firefights!
In close-quarters firefights, both you and your enemies will move a lot, such as moving left and right, jump-shotting, or prone-shotting. If you can't aim quickly, you're more likely to lose. By setting a higher sensitivity, it's easier to aim quickly.
Advantages of High Sensitivity
- - Easier to aim quickly
- - Can quickly turn towards the direction you were shot from
- - Avoids having to flick your finger multiple times
Disadvantages of High Sensitivity
- - If too fast, it can be difficult to aim precisely
- - Makes accurate shooting more difficult
- - Fast camera movement can cause motion sickness for some people
Lower Sensitivity for Higher Accuracy!
To reliably hit enemies at long range, you typically aim somewhat before looking through the scope, so there's no need to aim as quickly as in close quarters. When looking through a scope, high sensitivity makes it difficult to track moving enemies, so use a lower sensitivity.
Advantages of Low Sensitivity
- - Enables accurate shooting
- - Slower camera movement is easier on the eyes
Disadvantages of Low Sensitivity
- - Difficult to quickly aim at moving enemies
- - Difficult to quickly turn towards the direction you were shot from
Importance of Differentiating Usage
It's important to differentiate, such as setting a faster sensitivity for hip-firing (scope OFF) and a slower sensitivity when scoped. Using the same setting for everything will make it difficult to use.
How to Find Optimal Sensitivity
| Steps |
|---|
| 1. Go to the Firing Range |
| 2. Check How Far You Can Move Your View |
| 3. Shoot at Targets While Running |
| 4. Try Sights and Scopes |
| 5. Make Fine Adjustments Gradually |
| 6. Test in Actual Combat! |
1. Go to the Firing Range
First, go to the Firing Range from the mode selection screen. Adjusting sensitivity during actual combat is quite difficult. The Firing Range only has bots, so it's perfect for testing the sensitivity of various weapons and views.
2. Check How Far You Can Move Your View
Check how far you can move your view with a single light flick. Ideally, it should be about from front to just short of directly sideways. Turning all the way around with a single flick is clearly too much so be careful.
3. Shoot at Targets While Running
Once you have a weapon, try hitting the targets or bots in the Firing Range while running. If your crosshair goes to your intended position and the bullets land where you imagined, it's a sign your sensitivity is right.
4. Try Sights and Scopes
Also adjust the sensitivity for dot sights and various scopes. Sniper rifles, in particular, often require landing a single, precise shot, so it's recommended to do this carefully.
5. Make Fine Adjustments Gradually
Adjusting by ±10% increments is only for the beginning. To find your precise sensitivity, it's recommended to make fine adjustments in 1% to 3% increments.
6. Test in Actual Combat!
Don't just test in the Firing Range; try it out in actual combat in casual modes or multiplayer. When you're in a real match, you'll see what worked well and what needs improvement. Adjust repeatedly to find your optimal sensitivity.
What is Sensitivity?
Crosshair Aiming Speed
Sensitivity reflects how quickly you can move your crosshair from one point to another. Essentially, the higher your sensitivity, the faster your crosshair can reach their target. However, it is important to set a sensitivity that is comfortable for you as an individual, since too much may make it difficult to aim at targets effectively.
As a Premise
Sensitivity varies from person to person, so simply copying a skilled player's settings won't necessarily make you better. Find the sensitivity that suits you and increase your kill rate!
Essential for Aiming!
By finding the sensitivity that suits you, you can aim quickly and gain an advantage in firefights. It takes some getting used to at first, but once you do, aiming becomes much easier, so give it a try!
How to Set Sensitivity
Press the gear icon settings button, then select 'Operation Settings,' then 'Sensitivity Settings,' and finally 'Customize.' You can adjust your sensitivity here at any time.
About Sensitivity % Display
The higher the '%' value, the higher the sensitivity, and the lower the '%' value, the lower the sensitivity.
