Best Battlefield 2042 controller settings
These settings are extremely important for perfecting your accuracy, and although a lot of it is up to preference, you will find these Battlefield 2042 controller settings will be a great place to start.
But before you start tuning your controls, you need to make sure that you have the best Battlefield 2042 PC settings applied, as these will reduce annoying effects such as screen shake.
