How to increase the FOV on Warzone

Do you ever watch competitive Call of Duty Warzone matches and see some professional players perform actions you never thought were possible? And what about the enemies, often eliminated before you even realize their presence? We are talking about absolute champions, this is true, but at certain levels of competition the player’s skill is not everything.

Clearly, being good at playing is the first thing you need to be able to juggle skillfully and beat any opponent – in Call of Duty as well as in any other competitive title – but there are also game settings that can be decisive for the success of a player, for example the FOV ( Field of View ).

How do you say? Have you heard of it and, since you are taking your first steps in Warzone, would you like to know more? No problem: if you want, in this tutorial I can explain how to increase the FOV on Warzone and take advantage of this field of view setting to defeat enemies (without obviously breaking the rules or going against the wishes of the developers).

Preliminary information

As mentioned earlier, the FOV is the field of view, or the breadth of the view of video games in the first person. It varies from a lower to a higher value, and as it increases, it also increases the amount of image that can be displayed on the screen at any given time.

How can that help you in a title like Warzone ? Well, clearly if the field of view is wider, it will be possible to identify a possible enemy more easily. Every professional player uses this setting to secure an advantage over their opponents and, believe me, the difference between one setting and another is tangible.

In the next few paragraphs, I will therefore show you how to increase the FOV on Warzone on different platforms. Please note, however, that in the console version of Warzone it is not possible to directly increase or decrease the FOV; however, thanks to some other options it is still possible to act positively on the visual field at one’s disposal. Of course, if things change in the future, I will promptly update this guide with all the necessary information.

How to increase the FOV on Warzone: PC

If you want to know how to increase the FOV on Warzone for PC , start the game, go to the main menu and click on the Options button , at the bottom left (the one with the gear icon ). Then go to the General section of the settings and change the first item you see, that is Field of view .

Consider that the FOV value is variable from 60 to 120 . My advice is to keep it between 105 and 120 , you choose a middle ground that allows you to be performing and responsive. Personally, I prefer to have a FOV of 120 , so as to notice every slightest shift on the edges of the screen, so as not to get caught off guard even once.

Then move the adjustment bar to the right or left, to increase or reduce the value of the Field of View, or click directly on the number to the left of the blue bar to enter a number manually from the keyboard.

Keep in mind that a higher FOV can drastically reduce the FPS ( Frames Per Second , or how smooth the game is), therefore, if you don’t have a very powerful computer, try to adapt the settings to your needs, but without going to reduce the performance of your PC. In this regard, my guide on how to increase FPS on PC may be useful . Finally, exit the menu and confirm the changes made by clicking on the Apply button .

I recommend, stick only to the settings officially foreseen by the game and do not go to modify Warzone files and do not apply unofficial mods that could bring some competitive advantage related to the FOV or other parameters: you would go against the rules of the game and you would also risk the ban . Then don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!

How to increase the FOV on Warzone: PS4

Unlike on PC, it is not currently possible to increase the FOV on Warzone PS4 (or other consoles), as there is not yet a setting for changing the field of view.

Don’t give up, though: it is possible to make small “adjustments” to simulate the same results, even if not comparable to the native settings for PC. Which? I’ll explain it to you right away.

First, start Warzone on your console, go to the Options by pressing the corresponding button on the controller and, from the General table , go to select the item Visible zone .

Now, with the help of the directional arrows of the controller (or keyboard), go to reduce the guides of the screen area. Thanks to this simple change, the elements of the screen will be closer and it will be easier for you to “take a look” at the map without losing sight of the enemies from the screen, drastically decreasing the time taken to switch from one element to another.

As I said, it’s not quite the same as increasing the FOV, but it is definitely a setting that can have its usefulness. Good fun!
