To edit your graphics settings in Battlefield 6, select the Settings cog, then choose Graphics. From here, you can adjust different visual settings for your game.
To change your graphics settings, select Modify next to Graphics. How you optimize your settings depends on your PC and how it balances performance with quality. Turning down graphics settings helps your PC maintain a good frames-per-second (FPS).To optimize your FPS, we recommend turning these less noticeable settings to Low.
Undergrowth Quality
Effects Quality
Volumetric Quality
Lighting Quality
Local Light & Shadow Quality
Sun Shadow Quality
Post Process Quality
If you want to improve your FPS further after turning down these settings, try setting everything to Low.
Some players find it easier to spot enemies in buildings or through water with Screen Space Reflections turned Off.
To change your graphics settings, scroll down to Camera Settings in the Graphics menu. You can change your field of view (FOV) and motion blur here. Here are some camera settings tips and recommendations.
For a competitive experience, try turning settings like World Motion Blur, Weapon Motion Blur, and Camera Shake Amount as low as possible so they don’t interfere with your vision.
Turning settings like Chromatic Aberration, Vignette, and Film Grain off can help keep the game as clear as possible.
You can also change your Field Of View, Vehicle 3rd Person Field Of View, and Weapon Field of View in this menu. What works best for you depends on your preference: when FOV is higher, you can see more of your surroundings, but far-off enemies and objects will appear smaller.
Try editing your settings and then testing them in the Firing Range to see what settings you prefer. A FOV of 110 is a good place to start. We also recommend starting with your Weapon Field Of View turned to Wide so you can see as much around you as possible.
There are a few settings you can adjust under Display and Interface And HUD to optimize your game.
Under Display, toggle Vertical Sync to Off to avoid lag. You should also make sure your Fullscreen Resolution and Refresh Rate match your PC’s settings.
If your screen size doesn’t seem right, try changing your Aspect Ratio, but remember this will change your resolution.
Under Interface And HUD, toggle Soldier HUD Motion and Vehicle HUD Motion to Off so they don’t disturb your game.
Your HUD refers to your Heads-Up Display, which shows essential info at the top of your screen. If HUD motion is turned on, the HUD will move around more while you play.
You can find your crosshair settings under Icons & Indicators. Choose Modify next to Crosshairs and Indicators to edit your settings. You can edit factors like crosshair and hit indicator opacity, intensity, thickness, and color to suit your preferences and make these icons more noticeable.

To start, go to Settings, then Controller. Toggle through the categories, then select Edit Preset to tweak the existing setup. You can choose between Default, Alternate, or Lefty presets. If you make a change to a controller category, we recommend changing it across all categories so your inputs are consistent.For example, if you make changes to your Vehicle controls, consider making the same edits across your other controller settings.
If the presets don’t work for you, you can completely customize your settings by selecting Edit Settings.
Keep an eye on your preferred Infantry Aim Sensitivity, Zoom Sensitivity Coefficient, and Aiming Left / Right Acceleration. You can test out different values in the Firing Range.
Try out different Soldier Aim Input Curve settings to adjust how your stick movements affect aim response in-game. If you’ve played previous Battlefield games, you can pick a setting that matches older titles.
Go through each menu to change the controller input for key actions, like sprinting, crouching, and sliding.

A controller’s deadzone is a small area where movement doesn’t register, even if it’s moved. Adjusting your controller deadzone settings can help you avoid unwanted movements in-game and make your controller feel more responsive.To adjust your deadzone settings:
1
Go to Controller in your Settings.
2
Select Edit Settings.
3
Under Other, select Modify next to Controller Tuning.
Here, you can edit how much input is needed for each controller stick. If your controller has no or little stick drift, we recommend setting each deadzone between zero and five. If you like, you can also change your Max Input Threshold in this menu. Lowering this setting means you’ll have to move the control stick less for maximum input.
Gyro aiming lets you aim in-game by tilting or rotating your controller. To turn on gyro aiming, go to the Firing Range, then use the steps below.

Scroll down to Movement & Aiming.

turning your Hit Indicator on, so you can tell when you’ve been hit.
