Best General Video Settings

V-Sync Off
FPS Limit User Preference
Brightness 1 (Default)

When it comes to optimizing Video settings, Foilage and Textures have the most significant impact to your performance so adjust these depending on your device.

For upscalers, DLSS provides the best performance but if you do not have that option, the default TSR is better than FSR in most cases.

Best Controls Settings

Input Icons Automatic
UI Tab Cycling Input Default
Vertical Look Default
Vertical Look Sensitivity 50 (Default)

Toggle to Sprint ON

Best Camera Settings

Camera Follow Off
Movement Lag 0.5
Rotation Lag 0.5

Turning off Camera Follow allows you to see what's in front of you clearer since the camera doesn't follow you when you turn around. This can be helpful when fighting multiple enemies.

Turning down both Movement Lag and Rotation Lag makes the camera feel much smoother and snappier.

Best Gameplay Settings

Auto Target Switch User Preference
Datapad Opening Animation Short
HUD Visibility User Preference
Enemy Tier Indicator Shown
Enemy Damage Numbers Shown
Vibration Mode (Controller) User Preference
Vibration Intensity (Controller) User Preference

For Gameplay settings, most of the settings are user preference except for Enemy Tier Indicator and Enemy Damage Numbers. These settings are great for clarity. They tell you about the enemy's grade and how much damage you're dealing respectively.

Best Sound Settings

Audio Output User Preference
Dynamic Range User Preference
Master Volume 100 (Default)
Music Volume 100 (Default)
Voice Volume 100 (Default)
Ambient Volume 100 (Default)
Sound Effects Volume 100 (Default)
Controller Speaker Volume 100 (Default)

For sound settings, it's up to you on how you want to adjust them or if you just want to stick with the default options.

Best Language Settings

Text Language User Preference
Voice Language User Preference
Show Subtitles User Preference
Subtitle Style User Preference
Show Subtitle Background ON

For language settings, it's mostly user preference but if you're turning Subtitles on it should have a background so you can see it clearly.

Best Accessibility Settings

Camera Shake Off
Motion Blur Off
Color Deficiency Type User Preference
Color Deficiency Compensation User Preference
Show Directional Audio User Preference
Useful for determining location of audio clues but can be a bit distracting
Analytics User Preference

For accessibility settings, it's mostly up to you but if you are colorblind then turning on settings for Color Deficiency can help.
