Change These Key Controller Settings for Black Ops 6! (Best Console/Controller Settings)

Black Ops 6 is officially here and it has a ton of new settings for the franchise so in today's video, I'll be diving deep into my best settings for controller & console while also explaining & showing what the most important settings actually do. What are your thoughts on the settings available in BO6 so far? Any key settings that you changed to make a big difference?

Speaking of deadzones, a lot of folks overlook the importance of the max deadzone in THIS specific game, especially for the left stick. If any of you (like me) are experiencing issues where you can't maintain a sprint when changing directions (for me it was anytime I'd try to run forward and right) you'll want to lower your max deadzone until you can maintain a sprint in all directions and also make a full circle with the joystick while sprinting and never losing sprint.

Some controllers struggle to reach maximum input when the stick is fully pressed in a direction, and for those controllers, you MUST reduce your max deadzone if you want to be able to move fluidly and maintain a sprint while using the omnimovement. I know I wasn't the only person experiencing this, but I have yet to see a single content creator mention it in their "best controller settings" videos.

You've really become my go to COD channel. I fell off a bit from the franchise but with MW3 I started watching you more and I'll continue to do the same with BO6. Thanks for the info you provide

Remember the days when the only setting to change was your sensitivity. I’m getting to old for COD

About that fancy new audio setting, it's a 3D audio generator, and it doesn't inform you of important things you need to do in order to use it correctly.

So if you've already got Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, DTS Headphone X, etc, or any other audio processor on, it's going to sound terrible. You should only have 1 of these audio processors on at a time, if any, and never more than 1.

So if you've got any kind of audio processing going on, such as the Astro A40/A50 Dolby stuff, switch that to Passthrough, or to the Star button. There's a bunch of headphones and headsets out there that come with some kind of post-signal audio processing - you do not want multiples of these running at the same time, only 1 or none.

On your Xbox Dashboard settings, go to General>Volume and Audio Output, then make sure to set "Headset audio" to Stereo Uncompressed.

If you're going to try this in-game 3D sound generator, make sure there's nothing else going on that will interfere with its ability to do what it's designed for.

I find that CoD these days is really super loud on the explosions, and when I'm laying on the trigger. This CoD audio processor takes that down quite a bit so I like that a lot. It doesn't really make footsteps easier to hear though. They're still quiet.

A lot of my settings I had on MW3 didn’t carry over to BO6. It felt weird while playing on their settings. Kinda felt like I was on ice skates when ADS. I adjusted em to my settings and it still feels a little off but feels better as I go.

[publicenemyyt]

Was waiting for this thanks ace you’re always on top of it

I'm not sure if they have removed it over the last couple of hours but the new enhanced audio setting is no longer in the audio menu

[deathtrooper]

8:12 You left out the delay that comes from tap to slide or dive and the hybrid setting which doesn't have the delay and it's a lot more responsive and consistent.

[NWAKAMMAN]

I agree- this is my go-to for what's happening - he has never led me wrong just to get a view.

This is really going to help when an lmg player outruns me when i have a knife

Hi, Ace. A note about the enhanced headphone mode:

It creates it's own 3d-simulation, so if you're using a "surround sound" headset, you actually want to DISABLE that and have basically stereo input going into the headphones, this is the kind of environment it's designed to operate in. Coming from a long-time user of Embody's Immerse audio, I have a paid license for a profile in Final Fantasy XIV and have been using and loving it for YEARS now, feel free to reach out if there's anything you want to know about it.

This is what I’ve been waiting for! Thanks Ace

I like dynamic on previous CoD but the dynamic on this game seems broken, dynamic is really slow when barely moving your stick, felt like I needed to bump up my sens and my ads sens to overcome it. Decided on linear now because of how less responsive dynamic felt on this game

3:24 The 1.00 ADS sensitivity value does not mean your ADS and Hip fire sensitivity is the same. It just represents the default value (for CoD it is 33%, meaning that if you use a scope with a 1x zoom and aim your sensitivity will be one third of your hip fire sensitivity). I usually set mine to 1.5x which corresponds to 50% ADS sensitivity, same I use in Battlefield.

I'll say I've tried the headphone plus bass boost with the enhanced headphone mode on, and as for my audio setup it does sound pretty good. The footsteps are hard to hear but I also get that having to balance around the multiplayer aspect, so makes sense why they are quiet, maybe I'll try out the treyarch mix soon. I do appreciate the fact that the auto mantling and auto sprinting will help those with hand issues by clicking extra buttons or inputs, they also passively help blind players who may not be able to see that there is something to mantle on, so it'll just do it for you or crouch beneath something, so those settings not only help motor impairment but also visual impairment. People kind of wish there was a setting to turn down the gunshot sound effect so I could clearly more identify when I'm actually hitting an enemy with bullets or explosives or whatever, can't hear if

I swear the CoD community doesn’t deserve Ace. Thank you ! Every CoD release I’m over whelmed by all the setting. But Since ww2 my first cod like clock work setting video it really helps, we all know how horrendous launches can be, this is one less thing to worry about.

[dante_]

Thanks! I like to compare what I'm using and tweak it. I wasn't too far off from what settings you prefer

[ceverett]

love the omnidirectional movement. and supine prone. and corner slicing, even though its kinda appearance only

[chrisbrennan]

Great info. Need to update my settings

[colinwood]

I was surprised to not find a simple brightness setting. I noticed (more so in Zombies mode) that I really wanted to bring up the brightness but couldn't.
