Getting Started in Warzone - Part 3: Best Game Settings
Killer gameplay settings can instantly up anyone's game
Throughout my entire gaming career (yes, it’s been a long one), I never even knew that there were settings that could hinder or improve your performance. I knew controllers could be mapped and customized, but wasn’t that just personal preference? In Warzone, settings are different. These are some settings that, if changed, could instantly improve your chances of getting a win!
But what if those settings were sharable and could help everyone get better? It was worth a try right?
When I played that one with the cars playing soccer, it was field of view and locked in on the ball, and it is no different with Call of Duty: Warzone. Here, we are going to show you what is known, to help you get the kill count and a little closer to victory.

Best settings for PC
If it’s not obvious that a PC is going to have more of a selection of customizations, it might be time to take some notes and then phone a friend, cuz some of this may not be easy to digest. We are here to make it easy for you. For the rest of you, we are not trying to insult your intelligence, but we are trying to give noobs like me, a bit of advice.
These settings are not going to get you straight to those dubs, but they will make your gameplay a little more deliberate and efficient. So take these settings seriously.
And also, if we didn’t expand a submenu in these settings, it’s because not even WE will mess with those.
ALSO, these are based on YOUR PREFERENCES! If you do not want to change them, do not do it. You have to play how you feel comfortable. These are just guidelines.

Keybinds
Keybinds, in our opinion, are purely preferential. If you know how you want to set them up, or you have a specific keybind that a friend is sharing with you, go for it, because it is all about customization and muscle memory when it comes to keybinds and how they work for you. If you want a place to start trying out keybinds, we recommend throwables, like smoke or other types of grenades.
