Players can also adjust deadzone sensitivity and make other more minor tweaks that can have a dramatic impact on how Halo Infinite feels to play. A slower, steadier aim sensitivity could help you pull off those distant headshots much easier. This could prove handy on the larger Big Team Battle maps if you like to play as a sniper. Options exist for 1.4x, 2.5x, 3.0x, 5.0x, 6.0x, and 10.0x, all of which you can find across weapons that allow for zooming or aiming down sights.įor the higher zoom levels, you might want a set sensitivity a bit on the slower side. This determines the speed at which the camera moves while you’re aiming down sights. Sensitivity for individual zoom levels can also be adjusted in the settings. It’s wise to slowly increase or decrease your sensitivity over time, too, instead of making big sweeping changes. There’s no right or wrong sensitivity, then, so experiment to see which suits you best. A higher sensitivity will let you turn and react quicker than a lower sensitivity, but you'll suffer during long-range encounters where small analog stick adjustments are necessary.Ī lower sensitivity also makes it easier to keep track of your target but leaves you open to attacks from behind. There is a tradeoff to consider, however. We found 3 to be a good sweet spot between swift camera movement and actually being able to aim. The default look sensitivity setting is 2, which was a bit slow for our liking. That’s hardly ideal, as whoever has their crosshairs on their opponent first has an immediate advantage in most encounters. You might find Halo Infinite’s default look sensitivity a little on the slow side. Halo Infinite controller settings: Sensitivity settings This will allow you to shift certain commands, like reloading, back to more familiar button placements should you desire. reload, zoom, throw grenade, etc.) followed by pressing the button you wish to use to activate said input. Here, you can quickly and easily swap inputs around by first selecting your desired input (e.g.

Simply scroll to the bottom of the Controller submenu to find button options for each input in the game, whether that be on foot or in one of Halo Infinite’s many vehicles. Whether you’re on Bumper Jumper or another preset entirely, you can thankfully map individual buttons to your liking. Default Bumper Jumper settings instead place equipment usage on “X.” That encompasses ancillary items like activating Overshields and using the Grappleshot. One divisive change on the Bumper Jumper control scheme is that reload finds itself on the “B” button, which might sound counterintuitive for those who’ve played countless shooters where reloading is usually situated on the “X” button on the left. Halo Infinite controller settings: Extra customizations If you’ve had the control schemes of Battlefield 2042 or Call of Duty ingrained into your muscle memory, you can also change the Halo Infinite controller settings to more closely match these two titles, if that’s what you’d prefer. It’ll take some getting used to if you’re already familiar with Halo Infinite’s default control scheme, but once it clicks, you might find yourself winning crucial 1 v 1 encounters you may have otherwise flubbed. Lastly, zooming is now activated by clicking the right stick, just as it was in many of the older Halo titles. The “A” button is instead used to sprint, while the right shoulder button lets you perform a melee attack. Moving the input to the left shoulder button ensures you don’t have to take your right thumb off the stick when you jump, allowing you to maintain the accuracy you otherwise would’ve lost by pressing “A” on the default control scheme. This preset does what it says on the tin: jumping is now mapped to the left shoulder button by default instead of the “A” button, and grenades are now thrown using the left trigger.Ī crucial part of Halo Infinite is movement, and being able to keep your opponent guessing. The preset we’ve had the most success with, though (not to mention the one we’ve had the most fun with), would be Bumper Jumper.

This is a useful preset if you want to keep your thumb on camera movement while activating your reload. Meanwhile, the Recon preset puts reloading on the right shoulder button by default. Many of the button presets featured in the Settings menu can offer advantages over the default scheme based on how you like to play.įor example, the Button Puncher preset swaps the melee and crouch buttons, handy if you’re prone to accidentally clicking the right stick which would otherwise lock you into the melee animation. Halo Infinite has a suite of button presets for controller users, as well as Southpaw options for left-handed players.
