XDefiant’s beta test is currently underway, and new players may find it difficult to get used to some of the game’s controls and settings if it’s their first time with the FPS title. Fortunately, content creators have already released guides on how to optimize your game’s settings to make sure gameplay feels smooth and comfortable even for first-timers.
Here are the XDefiant open beta’s best controller settings and more!

The settings above are from YouTuber TheXclusiveAce (which you should watch here) going over his recommended settings for XDefiant’s open beta, and while settings are mostly subjective, we can’t say we disagree with the YouTuber’s picks.
While these settings are for the Open Session beta, chances are high that in the final game, these will be applicable as well.
XDefiant’s beta test is currently available to closed beta players only, though everyone will gain access starting June 21 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. The test will run until June 23 at 11 PM PT / 2 AM ET, so you’ll only have a few days to play some games. With this settings guide, however, you should be able to jump into XDefiant right away.
