Best FOV Setting in Warzone 2.0

When it comes to being a hardcore, professional Warzone 2.0 player, few things are more important than your settings. From having the right sensitivity to tweaking the audio options just right, everything is a key factor to the most capable Warzone competitor. If there’s one thing that players have debated since the moment Warzone 2.0 launched, it’s the field of view option. Today, we’re looking at the best FOV setting in Warzone 2.0, which should give you the ultimate edge.

For a long while, there was an eternal controversy over the fact that only PC players could change their FOV setting. This was one of the biggest bugbears for console players on the original Call of Duty Warzone platform. Since this all-new platform launched, even console players could amend their Warzone 2.0 field of view, bringing them up to speed compared with the ‘elite’ PC gamers.

So, what is the best FOV setting for Warzone 2.0? Let’s find out.

How to Change FOV in Warzone 2.0

Firstly, let’s discuss (quite quickly) how to change your FOV in Warzone 2.0. It’s a relatively simple process that requires you to go into the graphics settings, then navigate to the ‘VIEW’ tab, and at the top, you’ll see the FIELD OF VIEW section. Then, identify the first option in that list, which is, quite simply, ‘FIELD OF VIEW (FOV)’. This is where you can adjust the slider to tweak your FOV to your desired setting.

There are other options here, and they are also quite important when securing the best FOV for Warzone 2.0. For instance, the ADS Field of View should be switched to ‘AFFECTED’ when running a high FOV, as it adjusts your ADS distance to accommodate for the ‘zoomed out’ effect. Furthermore, WEAPON FIELD OF VIEW should be set to ‘WIDE,’ as this makes your weapon ‘look smaller’ on the screen, allowing you to see more.

Best FOV Settings for Warzone 2.0

Once upon a time, the standard FOV setting in a Call of Duty game was 60 FOV. It was a horrible time, but we didn’t know it. Once the FOV slider became the norm, we were treated to a whole new level of gaming. In Warzone, the FOV setting was cherished exclusively by PC gamers until Warzone 2.0 was launched and became a universal option. Now, every player offers their two cents on which Field of View setting is best in Warzone 2.0.

For reference, here’s a comparison between 60 FOV, which is the minimum FOV in Warzone 2.0:

And then, 120 FOV (which is the maximum):

What each FOV looks like

There are a few key things to take away from those screenshots. As you can see, there’s a dramatic difference between the two.

• 60 FOV looks massively zoomed in, which might seem like an advantage, but your peripheral advantage is destroyed.
• At 120 FOV, you can see twice as much of the map, and your overall peripheral range is boosted immeasurably.
• At 120 FOV, distant objects become tiny, making long-range vision harder.
• At 60 FOV, everything seems more compacted and much slower (when you experience it).

Many will claim that 120 FOV is nothing more than a placebo. It helps you feel like you’re moving faster, turning faster, and giving you a wider range of peripheral vision. However, if you’re a bad Warzone 2.0 player, it won’t make that much of a difference. Some will claim that anything over 100 FOV impacts the aim assist if you’re playing on a controller.

That’s something echoed by some of the best Call of Duty players in the world, though. It hasn’t ever been technically proven, but for many of the best players, the sweet spot is around 100 – 105 FOV. As a long-time Warzone player, I’ve never dropped below 100 FOV, and I genuinely feel I play better at 120.

Ultimately, the best FOV setting in Warzone 2.0 is subjective, but if you can turn it up, you should. There’s no risk, though – if you don’t like 120 FOV, turn it down; if you don’t like 60 FOV, turn it up.

It’s up to you.
