What Are The Best Controller Settings For Battlefield REDSEC?

To customize your settings, select the Cogwheel icon at the top middle-right next to “Profile.” Then select “Controller” from the right-hand side, make sure Infantry is selected, and choose “Edit Settings.” Now, open the first category, “Control Settings,” and you’ll see the full list of options appear.

Battlefield REDSEC Controller Tuning Settings

Arguably, the most critical settings in Battlefield REDSEC are hidden from view. To find them, scroll down all the way to the final tab in the regular controller settings that reads “Other” and then select the “Controller Tuning” option.

• Controller Vibration = Off
• Vibration Intensity = 0
• Adaptive Triggers Weapon Fire = 0 
• Adaptive Triggers Weapon Zoom = 0

Pro Tip: If you’re using a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, we recommend turning off the Adaptive Triggers effects. The controller’s physical responses can cause hiccups in aiming. However, if you would love an immersive experience, you can adjust the settings above.

Best Deadzone Settings For Battlefield REDSEC

Inside the Controller Tuning settings, where we set vibrations to off, you’ll find the essential (and oftentimes confusing) controller stick deadzone settings for Battlefield REDSEC.

For the uninitiated, the deadzone value indicates the amount of control input required to activate the input. The smaller the value you choose, the less input is needed to register on your screen.

Controller Left Stick

• Center Deadzone = 2
• Axial Deadzone = 3
• Max Input Threshold = 60

Controller Right Stick

• Center Deadzone = 2
• Axial Deadzone = 3
• Max Input Threshold = 100

Controller Triggers

• LT Deadzone = 0
• LT Max Input Threshold = 5
• RT Deadzone = 0
• RT Max Input Threshold = 5

These values may differ between PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 console controllers. If your controller’s sticks are worn or have issues, test these deadzone values and make adjustments.

For example, if you find that your left stick drifts a bit without intentional movement, increase the deadzone value. It’s an “easy” way to circumvent stick drifting, especially on older controllers.

Best Battlefield REDSEC Controller Layouts & Button Mappings

There are five layout options for Infantry, Vehicle, Gunner, Aircraft, Transports, and Helicopter. You should select “Alternative” as the “Button Preset” and “Default” as the “Sticks Preset.” All available options are:

• Default
• Alternative
• Lefty
• Lefty Alternative
• Custom

You can customize the mapping of controller buttons to suit your preferences. It’s really just a matter of individual preference. In our opinion, the Alternative button layout mappings and default “Sticks” settings provide the best gameplay experience in Battlefield REDSEC.

The Alternative Center Deadzone preset that we’ve chosen is the most popular button layout, which first-person shooter players should be accustomed to. Melee is assigned to your Circle/B button and Crouch/Prone is transferred to the right stick.

It’s much easier to control vehicles and aircraft with the Alternative preset as well, with the left stick allowing you to turn left and right rather than the default backwards and forwards. With that, all that’s left now is for you to learn the best landing spots in Battlefield REDSEC to dominate your games!
