Best Black Ops 6 PC settings for high FPS & reduced lag

The Black Ops 6 beta is here and for the first time in years, PC players can join in the action at the same time as console players. But, you’ll need to lock in the best settings to get the most from it. 

The skill gap looks higher than ever this year thanks to the new Omnimovement system and higher TTK, so you’ll need to bring your A-game to be the best in your lobby and drop a Nuke. Having the best controller settings is vital, but you can take things one step further. 

With the best PC settings for Black Ops 6, you can have a smooth and stable FPS, reduce input lag, and eliminate any connection issues to have the best chance possible.
