Best controller settings for XDefiant: what is the best configuration?

When looking to be the best in XDefiant, a great controller setting is key to getting the edge in a match. Here are some tips to customize yours.

After a long wait since its announcement, XDefiant, Ubisoft’s arcade shooter that mixes Tom Clancy’s universes with some of the studio’s original games, is now available to everyone, starting with a pre-season already underway.

By now we’ve already told you what you need to be able to start playing on PC, as well as seen some of the most noticeable launch issues that some players have had to deal with. But now, let’s look at something that can actually alter the way you play the game: controller settings.

The best controller settings for XDefiant

While most people will jump into the game and start playing right away, adapting to the default options given to you by the developers, many have found that altering some of the options available can help you get into a better gameplay flow than others. As such, making sure that your settings are perfect for you can be an important point that actually matters when it comes to winning or losing.

Of course, it really depends on your own preferences, and as such we recommend you dive into the options menu yourself to tinker around with everything at hand.
