Best Overwatch 2 controller settings

Aim Settings

Horizontal Sensitivity: 55
Vertical Sensitivity: 45

We recommend making your Vertical Sensitivity lower than your Horizontal in Blizzard‘s Overwatch 2, as this will make your aim a lot smoother when it comes to targeting enemies at different heights.

Advanced

Aim Assist Strength: 100
Aim Assist Window Size: 80
Aim Assist Legacy Mode: Off
Aim Assist Ease-In: 10-20
Aim Smoothing: 0
Aim Ease-In: 20-30
Invert Vertical Look: Off
Invert Horizontal Look: Off
Vibration: On or Off (Preference)
Switch Movement and Look Sticks: Off
Legacy Sticks: Off
Aim Technique: Linear Ramp (Preferred for aiming at lower sensitivities) or Dual Zone

While on controller, you will want to make the most of Aim Assist, especially if you are planning to enable crossplay. That being said, we recommend having your Aim Assist Strength on 100, as well as your Aim Assist Ease-In at around 20-30 so that you can get to your target fast and effectively.

Depending on how confident you are with your aim, you can choose between Linear Ramp and Dual Zone Aim Techniques. Linear Ramp requires more control and precision, while Dual Zone benefits those who are less confident in their aim at high sensitivities.

Gyro Settings (Nintendo Switch/Motion controls)

Gyro Aiming: On
Gyro Aiming Aim Assist: On
Gyro option Presets: Custom

Advanced

Invert Gyro-Aiming Pitch Axis: Off
Invert Gyro-Aiming YAW Axis: On

Gyro-Aiming YAW Axis Sensitivity: 0
Gyro-Aiming ROLL Axis Sensitivity: 12
Disable Gyro While Using Stick: On

Gyro settings are for those playing on the Nintendo Switch with motion controls rather than analog sticks. For those using Gyro settings, we recommend going with a custom preset, using our recommended values, and then adjusting to whatever feels most comfortable.
