2. 🎯 Improving Combat Ability Through UI and Aim Accuracy Settings
- ✅ Adjusting the UI and field of view (FOV) and turning off post-processing effects such as motion blur and depth of field will improve long-range and peripheral vision.
- ✅ Weapon recoil patterns vary greatly depending on whether you are in first person or what scope you have equipped.
- ✅ Accuracy increases in the following order: 3rd person hipfire < 1st person hipfire < 3rd person zoom in < 1st person scope.
- ✅ Changing the weapon aiming setting from 'Simple' to 'Complex' allows you to better understand the bullet grouping.

| 3rd Person Zoom In | High |
| 1st Person Scope | Highest |

3. 🎬 Adjusting Post-Processing Effects and Display Settings for Visual Clarity and Console Performance
- ✅ Turning off motion blur and depth of field greatly improves vision.
- ✅ Motion blur removes important details from the screen, and depth of field blurs peripheral vision.
- ✅ On consoles, switching from 30FPS to 60FPS makes animations smoother and inputs are reflected on the screen faster.
- ✅ Current generation consoles offer a good compromise with Performance RT, which provides a 4K 60fps experience.

4. ⚙️ Improving Gameplay Responsiveness and Control Through Camera and Controller Settings
- ✅ Setting the field of view in first person to the maximum allows you to display more information on the screen.
- ✅ Enabling Independent Camera Mode automatically switches the camera mode when entering or exiting a vehicle.
- ✅ Turning off 1st person combat roll prevents the screen from flipping when doing a combat roll.
- ✅ If using a controller, change the sprint mode from 'Tap to Sprint' to 'Hold to Sprint' and reduce the aiming deadzone in 1st and 3rd person to 0.
- ✅ PS5 users can improve the linear travel of the triggers by turning off Adaptive Triggers in the Control Menu.

5. 🖱️ Optimizing Mouse and Keyboard Settings for PC Gameplay
- ✅ On PC, make sure mouse input is set to RAW to minimize input lag.
- ✅ If you have an Nvidia graphics card, enable Nvidia Reflex in the graphics settings to reduce input latency.
- ✅ Turning off the 'Precision Aim Control' setting disables mouse acceleration.
- ✅ Turning off both 1st person ragdoll and 1st person head bobbing prevents the screen from shaking when running in first person.

6. 🖥️ Advanced Graphics Settings for Frame Rate and Graphics Quality on PC
- ✅ Changing the vehicle camera height from 'Low' to 'High' allows you to see the road better.
- ✅ Turning on 1st/3rd Person Cover automatically switches the camera to 3rd person when taking cover in 1st person.
- ✅ In legacy versions of the game, completely disable MSAA and use FXAA for anti-aliasing.
- ✅ In extended and enhanced versions, use TAA, DLSS, or AMD FSR.
- ✅ If the CPU is the bottleneck, enabling DLSS or FSR will not significantly improve frame rates.
- ✅ If the GPU is the bottleneck, using DLSS or FSR will significantly improve frame rates and responsiveness.
- ✅ In legacy versions, do not set the grass texture higher than 'Normal'.
- ✅ If you have 8GB or more of VRAM, setting the textures to maximum will not affect frame rates.
