Since both controllers for any of the consoles have many features and differences to cover, this section will be divided into two parts, first looking at their button layouts, and next breaking down the best sensitivity and movement settings.<\/p>\n

Sensitivity and movement settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s time to talk about the custom settings. Finding the best balance in these will be crucial for you, as these will affect directly your performance in the game.<\/p>\n

Some of these will be left at default, since moving them won’t bring you any significant advantage, while others will help you focus more on the battle by reducing shaking effects, improving your aim, or changing how much you can see on your peripherals by manipulating the field of view.<\/p>\n
