No one wants to be the weakest link on their team, regardless of if they win or lose. With how many different playable heroes there are available, your controls can become a little confusing if you don’t have them set the way you want. Here are our recommendations for the best controller settings in Overwatch 2.

Best Advanced Gyro Settings for Overwatch 2 on Nintendo Switch

For your reticle settings, we recommend changing those settings depending on the hero you will be playing. That could also be the case for the above settings. For example, we like to keep Winston’s Vertical Sensitivity higher so he can look and jump into the air faster when in trouble. For all of these settings, play around with them in the Training Area to make sure everything feels good for you or, at the very least, try and get used to them.
