XDefiant features all of the coolest characters and settings from several Ubisoft franchises, including The Division, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, and more. But it will feel most familiar to players of classic titles in the Call of Duty franchise, which makes sense because the development team features many former CoD creators and even ex-CoD pros like Patrick \"ACHES\" Price. As CoD has been a popular entry for players who enjoy their FPS games on controller, so too is XDefiant. The game feels great on a controller, and there's a lot of fun to be had with it no matter what platform you play on. Here are the best settings to run with if you're playing XDefiant on controller. Best controller settings in XDefiant Button Layout: Brawler This will come down to personal preference, but I've always been a fan of having my melee attack on Circle or B, with Crouch assigned to my right stick. XDefiant offers several options for button layouts, so find which one matches how you like to play. Stick Layout: Default Again, this is a setting that boils down to how you like to play. XDefiant offers options for lefty players and for those who like to use their left stick to look and strafe. Aim Assist: Standard The only other option here is to turn aim assist off, which is not recommended. Aim Assist Strength: 0 Aim Assist Follow: 0 Aim Response Curve Type: Standard Your Aim Response Curve Type depends on your experience in FPS games, with Standard being the base recommendation. Linear is meant for players who like a bit less assistance, and S-Type is built for those who are always on the move. ADS Sensitivity Multiplier (Low Zoom): 0.95x ADS Sensitivity Multiplier (High Zoom): 0.90x It's always a bit nicer to have some more sensitivity while aiming. Invert Horizontal Axis: No Invert Vertical Axis: No Do you play inverted? Then switch these up. If not, keep moving along the list. Horizontal Sensitivity: 30 Vertical Sensitivity: 30 Controller Aim Look Sensitivity Factor: 1.00x Controller Aim Scope Look Sensitivity Factor: 0.95x Sensitivity is another big one when it comes to player preference. The default settings are at 25 each, but your mileage may vary depending on how you like to play FPS titles. Raise it up a bit to begin with and adjust from there. Dead Zone - Left Stick: 10 Dead Zone
