The best aim assist settings for Call of Duty: Warzone

Aim assist is an important setting in any first-person shooter game, and Call of Duty: Warzone is no different.

For gamers who play Warzone on controller, whether it’s on PC or console, there’s a setting under the Controller options in the game that will change up the aim assist setting. Aim assist is the game’s subtle way of helping controller players hit their target since it’s normally quite difficult to maintain accuracy with analog sticks as opposed to a mouse and keyboard.

Warzone is a great controller game. It feels smooth to play on whatever kind of controller you use, but aim assist settings can be a game-changer when tweaked in the proper way, especially when fighting what feels like an uphill battle against mouse and keyboard players.

Like most things in life and in gaming, this setting will come down to preference. But here’s a quick explanation of all of the aim assist settings available in Warzone and which one you should be using.

Disabled

Disable aim assist.

This isn’t suggested. Aim assist exists in just about every FPS game when using a controller, in some capacity. If you turn it off, it’ll become immediately apparent and put you at a disadvantage in any gunfight against players who are using this feature.

Standard

Traditional aim slowdown near target.

This is the default setting for the game and arguably the best. It only makes sense to switch off of this setting if you’re truly struggling to hit shots. The standard setting is the aim assist that the developers designed the game around.

Precision

Strong aim slowdown that only kicks in when aiming closer to target. Best for accurate players.

This setting is kind of a flex. Use this setting if you find that aim assist is messing with your aim more than it’s helping you out. Only highly skilled players will want to try out this setting.

Focusing

Strong aim slowdown that also kicks in when narrowly missing target. Best for players new to analog aiming.

If you’re new to controllers or gaming in general, or if you find yourself struggling to hit shots, try this one out and see if it makes a difference for you. The aim assist will kick in if you’re shooting near an enemy but just missing them.

Best aim assist settings for Warzone

Experiment with each setting in a mode like Resurgence to decide which one works best for you. We suggest Precision aiming as it rewards the best accuracy overall and will help train your aim better in the long run, but Standard is a good option for just about all players regardless of skill set.
