If you’re going to top the leaderboard in Black Ops 6, you’ll need the best possible visibility, so it’s important that your FOV settings are up to scratch.

There’s no shortage of different settings to tweak to get the most out of multiplayer. Finding the right audio will let you hear enemy footsteps, while tuning your controller setup can improve your aim and accuracy.

But none of this matters if you can’t see what’s happening, and that’s where FOV comes in to improve how much of the screen is visible at any given time. Here are the best FOV settings in Black Ops 6 that you’ll want to use.

Best Black Ops 6 FOV settings

  • Field of View (FOV): 100 – 110
  • ADS Field of View: Affected
  • Weapon Field of View: Wide
  • 3rd Person Field of View: 90
  • Vehicle Field of View: Default

You’ll want to set your Field of View (FOV) somewhere between 100 and 115 to see more of the map without it feeling too squashed together.

Most higher-skill players favor either 100, 105, or 110, so we recommend trying out all three of these and seeing what works best for you. Regardless of what you end up choosing, going below these values is not a good idea, as it limits what you can see, putting you at a big disadvantage.

It’s also best to change the ADS FOV and Weapon FOV to Affected and Wide, respectively. This ensures that your chosen FOV is also applied when aiming, rather than returning to the default setting. This not only improves visibility but also reduces visual recoil when firing.

How to change FOV in BO6

  1. Launch Black Ops 6 in CoD HQ
  2. Open the settings menu in the top right corner of the screen
  3. Click the ‘Graphics’ tab
  4. Head to Field of View settings under ‘View’
  5. Use the slider to select your preferred Field of View (FOV)

Does changing FOV affect performance?

Yes, increasing the FOV in Black Ops 6 may affect your performance on both console and PC. This is because you’re packing more onto the screen at any given time, giving your machine more work to do in a given moment.

This can cause some frame rate drops if your PC, PlayStation, or Xbox isn’t up to the task, which is something you’ll want to be mindful of. If you’re running into issues, you can turn down the FOV until the game feels more stable. This year’s Call of Duty also has a benchmark tool, which can be found in the Graphics tab, allowing you to fine-tune and find the best PC settings.

Now that you’ve got the best FOV settings locked down, all that’s left for you to do is get out there and put them to the test. To improve your odds even further, check out how to improve your audio with Embody and the best guns to run.
