2. 🔭 How to secure a wider field of view through Field of View (FOV) settings
· We introduce a method to secure a wider field of view through external settings when the in-game FOV slider is insufficient.
· Securing a wider view is especially important for large characters or maps, and it can achieve an effect similar to using an ultra-wide monitor.
· We provide detailed instructions on how to open the `gameinfo.gi` file within the Deadlock game files with a text editor and add `r_aspectratio "2.7"` under the `convars` section. This value can be adjusted according to personal preference.

3. 🖱️ Recommended key bindings for improved movement and evasion abilities
· While it can vary based on player preference, we suggest two key binding changes for efficient movement.
· First, setting 'Down Dash' to the mouse wheel down allows for faster and more intuitive dashing during movement. This is useful not only for general movement but also for advanced movement techniques like 'short hops'.
· Second, we recommend changing the 'Parry' key from F to a more easily accessible key like a mouse button. This allows you to use parries without missing them during combat, increasing your reaction speed.

4. 💡 Item casting settings for playing Support heroes
· We explain how to maximize the efficiency of using active items when playing Support heroes.
· By enabling the 'Hero-Specific Key Bindings' option and setting 'Active Item Casting' to 'Quick Cast', you can instantly check item ranges and cooldowns on the HUD and use them immediately.
· This helps you perform your role as a Support more effectively, such as applying buffs to allies or debuffs to enemies during combat.
· Additionally, for the Apollo hero, we add that setting skill 3 to the right-click is beneficial for vision and allows for smoother movement while using the skill.
