The best control settings in Warzone Mobile will put you in the ideal spot to secure victory, as you’ll have access to everything you need at the touch of a button. So, here are the best settings to run, whether you’re using touch controls or a controller.

Warzone Mobile may feature cross-progression between MW3 and Warzone, but since it’s played on a phone, it feels very different. This means it’s more important than ever to ensure your settings are in order to get the most out of the many BR and multiplayer modes.

That includes the graphics and audio settings, but also the controls and HUD layout you use. So, here are the best control settings in Warzone Mobile for both touchscreen and controller.

Best touchscreen control settings in Warzone Mobile

Check out the best control settings for touchscreen in Warzone Mobile below, including the ideal HUD option, combat, and sensitivity options:

HUD

The ‘Popular’ preset is the best HUD in Warzone Mobile, as we found it to be the most intuitive during our time with the game. Compared to the default option, it moves Lethal and Tactical Grenades to the righthand side of the screen, making it much easier to use them while on the move.

It also moves the fire button to a slightly more central position, which feels much more natural while holding a phone.

However, if the preset doesn’t quite work for you, it’s possible to freely customize the HUD to suit your playstyle. This lets you manually move around and resize each input, giving you complete control over where each feature sits.

Best Warzone Mobile controller settings

Warzone Mobile also features controller support, so here are the best settings to make the game feel just like it does on console:

HUD

The ‘Default Controller’ preset is the best HUD in Warzone Mobile if you’re using a compatible controller. It moves much of the clutter from the screen and maps the controls to the same buttons that you would use on a PlayStation or Xbox.

Of course, you can still go in and tinker with them further, but using a controller means you’re relying on the HUD for information like ammo count, rather than having to set it up for comfortable touch controls.
