Nonetheless, such exciting gameplay can easily cause a stir as different gameplay mechanics clash with incoming enemies. There's indeed much to keep track of for even a seasoned player to avoid being overwhelmed.

The game requires users to pay special attention to the camera speed settings, particularly when in a fight. If you don't have aim assist and are using a controller, the default settings can make your movements sluggish.

It's better, therefore, to keep the speed of your camera between 8 and 10. You can tweak your settings by accessing the Camera Settings.
