Thank you for not making a 3 and a half minute video 15 minutes. Certainly earns a like in my book

I'd say that you can also keep 'camera shake strength' on 'normal', since in most circumstances it won't affect your aim that much. The times it does, you're probably standing too close to a 380mm barrage. It just makes everything feel more impactful which adds to the 'fun' factor.
Also the crosshair colour doesn't matter since you don't aim with it. The circle that you do aim with doesn't change colour.
And lastly wanna recommend that people don't replace 'throwable' with 'quick throwable', but instead put both on the same button and change the former to 'hold' and the latter to 'tap'. This way, you can still pull out your throwable if you have to be more accurate.

And one more tip from myself: As a PC player I remapped the strategem keys to the arrow keys so I can move whilst calling them in, _and on console you can do that too:_ Change the bindings from the left stick to the right stick.

I'll be honest, I didn't know auto-climb was a thing. Turning that off immediately. The amount of times I've auto-climbed the ammo pods, my own car, or over a railing falling outside a defense base is...weirdly high.

Deactivate Music and turn on Midnightmode in Audio Settings to hear the sound of samples if you are near them. Its surprising how well you can spot enemys and samples in this game just by listening to the audio with a decent pair of headphones.

On PC, rebind your call in keys to your arrow keys and you can still run around while calling in a stratagem.

2:10 not only that, but it'll make it so that your reticle is always visible when using an Anti-Tank or Machine Gun Emplacement, with no need to zoom in to see it.

2 things. Absolutely DO NOT play on 90 FOV or with 100 sharpness. For one, a higher FOV will pretty substantially impact game performance, but it also looks like complete garbage with the fisheye that comes with it. I'd recommend 70-75 FOV at the highest, and 60-70 sharpness at the absolute max. You can see all the over-sharpening in this video & it is truly an assault on the eyes.

In addition to changing my grenades to quick throw, I also put quick throw on R1 and I put ping on the right D-pad.

[nikitaKarkavin]

There is one EXTREME Problem with high POV! On 80-90 aiming down sights will be impossible! The sight will be too far away!

[TEHN]

For the reticle color setting, it should be YELLOW. As we are the HELLDIVER

[Schproemftell]

Rebinding to quickthrow has serious downsides
1st you cannot adjust the aim easily
2nd you cannot "cook"
3rd it only works good with impact nades

Bro. I have 400+ hours into this game. what you just showed in this video is a legit game changer. Thank you

[IDABAYAREAI]

*The one that widened my eyes is realizing theres a way to turn off auto climb THANK YOU 😭😭😭, the amount of times i died trying to get a Resupply for Stims but my guy decides to climb it😭😭🤣*

[MMUSHcom]

The rounded HUD is also really cool looking. I feel it fits aesthetically much better than how it is flat by default. I feel this is an often overlooked setting. Can't remember what the actual setting is called but it's obvious enough when looking for it.

As far as frame capping and vsync, I've been watching a ton of videos testing this. For best results go in Nvidia control panel - gysnc on, vsync on, and ultra low latency on, and turn vsync off in game settings. Also if the game has it - reflex + boost enabled as it overrides ullm and works better. Lowest latency, smoothest visuals and doesn't overwork GPU

[Ouyster]

Thanks for these tips! Literally made my game run way smoother with over 60fps as im running an ancient Gtx1070

[GanymedeOcean]

Pro tip: If you have a mic, please, for the love of managed democracy change it from open to push to talk.
If all im going to hear is: kids crying, double audio, weird breathing/coughing, or your commentary to yourself, then you can spend the extra moment to push a button when you actually have something important to say.

[MichaelWick-rz]

antilaising was the gamechanger ( turning it off), now every texture is sharp as F. thx for that

[ptit-monsieur]

I had quick throwables since I first played the game without realizing it because I always rebind grenades on my mouse in games lol

[OcToBeR]

Thanks these were helpful and on point without the unnecessary talking.
