Aim assist is a crucial feature for controller users, offering a competitive edge, especially in Warzone after its integration with Black Ops 6. Without aim assist, it becomes challenging for those on controllers to compete with mouse-and-keyboard players. The feature works by slightly slowing the crosshair movement when it's near an enemy, making it easier to aim and maintain stability while shooting.

This article will highlight the best aim assist settings for Warzone after the Black Ops 6 integration. While certain universal configurations can significantly enhance aim assist, sensitivity settings should still be adjusted according to one's personal preference.

Although the game offers extensive customization options, we will focus on specific settings that can optimize aim assist. Controller settings are divided into four key areas: controller, aiming, movement, and combat.

Controller

The most critical factor in achieving effective aim assist is Deadzone calibration, as it plays a crucial role in determining accuracy and responsiveness.

Inputs

Button Layout: Tactical
Stick Layout Present: Default
Horizontal Stick Sensitivity: 9
Vertical Stick Sensitivity: 8
Simplified Controls: Off
Low Motor Strain: Off
Bumper Ping: Off
Swap L1/R1 or LB/RB with L2/R2 or LT/RT: Off

Controller (Important)

Controller Vibration: Off
Trigger Effect: Off

Deadzone Inputs (Important)

Test Stick Deadzone: Off
Left Stick Min: 0
Left Stick Max: 60
Right Stick Min: 0
Right Stick Max: 90
Left Trigger: 0
Right Trigger: 0

Finding the best Deadzone input can be challenging, as it varies from one controller to the other. Achieving the optimal setting requires time and a trial-and-error approach. Start by setting both Left Stick Min and Right Stick Min to 0. Then, enable the Test Stick Deadzone option.

Next, move both sticks and release them. On the right side of the screen, you’ll see horizontal and vertical percentage values that indicate stick drift. If your controller has slight drift on either stick, adjust the Left Stick Min and Right Stick Min based on these values.

Once you’ve determined your optimal settings, test them in the training ground to ensure they are accurate and responsive.

For Left Stick Max and Right Stick Max, you can start with the values mentioned above but tweak them based on personal preference. These settings determine how far the stick needs to be moved for maximum input.

Aiming

Sensitivity settings often come down to personal preference, but there’s a trick to maximizing aim assist: tweaking the ADS sensitivity settings.

The most crucial adjustment here is to enable the Target Aim Assist option.

Sensitivity Multiplier

3rd Person Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.0
Ground Vehicles Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.00
Air Vehicles Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.00
Tablet Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.00
ADS Sensitivity Multiplier: 0.73
ADS Sensitivity Multiplier (Focus): 1.00
Look Inversion: Standard

Aiming Advanced Settings (Important)

Look Inversion: Personal preference
ADS Sensitivity Transition Timing: Instant
3rd Person ADS Correction Type: Assist
Aim Response Curve Type: Dynamic
Aim Response Curve Slope Scale: 1.00
Custom ADS Sensitivity Per Zoom: On
ADS Sens. Multiplier (Low Zoom): 0.80
ADS Sens. Multiplier (2x-3x Zoom): 0.82
ADS Sens. Multiplier (4x-5x Zoom): 0.85
ADS Sens. Multiplier (6x-7x Zoom): 0.93
ADS Sens. Multiplier (8x-9x Zoom): 1.00
ADS Sens. Multiplier (High Zoom): 1.00

For close-range engagements, lowering the sensitivity for lower zoom levels helps control recoil and stabilizes aim while ADSing, which then ensures smoother aim assist activation. On the other hand, higher sensitivity for longer-range scopes is beneficial, as it allows easier recoil control when dragging the stick.

The ideal approach is to set a slightly lower sensitivity for low zoom levels and a slightly higher sensitivity for high zoom levels, balancing precision and control for all ranges.
