PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a game that can have you continually coming back for more. That being said, every time you drop into the battle royale, you definitely want to make sure you are putting yourself in the best position for success. Especially with how jumpy the game can be on consoles, you want to make sure you are running the best settings possible. Here are the best console settings for PUBG.

Best Controller Settings in PUBG

Controller Settings

Here are the best controller settings for PUBG:

  • Controller Button Preset – Type B
  • Invert X-Axis/Y-Axis – Player preference
  • Right/Left Stick Dead Zone – Only applicable to controllers with drift. Adjust and toy with this to see how your controller reacts. If no drift, leave on 10 for default.
  • Vibration – Player preference, some people think vibrations throw their aim off.

Sensitivity

Here are the best controller sensitivity settings for PUBG:

  • Forward Running Sensitivity – 10-15
  • Movement Sensitivity – 20
  • Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier – 100
  • General Sensitivity – 8
  • Vehicle Driver Sensitivity – 10
  • Aim Acceleration – Enabled
  • Aim Acceleration rate – 4
  • Over the Shoulder Aiming Sensitivity – 8
  • Inventory Cursor Sensitivity – 7

The big thing to remember with the Sensitivity section is that everyone’s preferences in this area will be different depending on your skill level and personal preference for what feels best.

Aiming Down the Sights Sensitivity

Here are the best ADS settings for PUBG:

  • 1X Optic Sensitivity – 3
  • 2X Scope Sensitivity – 3
  • 3X Scope Sensitivity – 3
  • 4X Scope Sensitivity – 5
  • 6X Scope Sensitivity – 5
  • 8X Scope Sensitivity – 5
  • 15X Scope Sensitivity – 6

Again, these are all going to change depending on your preference. The 15X Scope definitely moves the slowest so we recommend having that higher than the others.
