XDefiant has a ton of settings you can change to optimize how you play, including being able to change your keybinds for optimal performance. So, here are the best keyboard and mouse settings for XDefiant.
XDefiant has 24 different weapons to choose from, and while you’ll likely pick the ones you enjoy playing with the most, your keyboard and mouse settings can determine your success between them.
Here are the best keyboard and mouse settings for XDefiant, including keybinds and mouse sensitivity.
Best mouse settings for XDefiant
The best mouse settings for XDefiant optimize how quickly you can react to enemies:
- Mouse Sensitivity: 18
- Mouse ADS Sensitivity Multiplier (Low Zoom): 1.00x
- Mouse ADS Sensitivity Multiplier (High Zoom): 1.00x
- Mouse Acceleration: Off
- Invert Vertical Axis: Off
- Right Click Back: Off
- Lock Mouse to Game Windows: On
It’s better to keep your ADS Sensitivity Multiplier to one so you can keep your sensitivity the same across the board. While Mouse Sensitivity is largely down to personal preference, if you’re looking for better aim control, consider practicing with a lower Mouse Sensitivity.
Mouse Acceleration is better kept off, because you don’t want your sensitivity dictated by the speed at which you move your mouse. Setting Mouse Sensitivity to something that works for you and keeping this setting off will guarantee more control over your aim in-game.
