Video Settings and Their Impact on Aiming

Video settings directly impact aiming consistency. Motion blur obscures moving targets and should be disabled entirely. Shader quality, texture detail, and particle effects don't significantly impact aim, but visibility does. Disable unnecessary visual effects that obscure enemy models or introduce visual noise.

Shadows should be disabled or minimized. Heavy shadows create dark areas where enemies blend in, reducing visibility. Flat, low-shadow rendering makes enemy silhouettes clearer and increases spotting speed. Professional players disable all unnecessary shadows for maximum clarity.

Brightness and contrast settings affect visibility. Increasing brightness reveals enemies in dark areas better. Most competitive players increase brightness 5-10% above default for improved visibility, though too much brightness causes difficulty seeing details.

Weapon bob and sway settings can be disabled (if available) to reduce visual distractions. Field of View (FOV) at default (90 degrees) is standard; higher FOV (100+) gives wider visibility at cost of target magnification. Most players keep FOV default for consistency with the competitive standard.
