The Ultimate Controller Settings

This guide is going to show you one of the best controller settings for Rainbow Six.

Before We Start This Guide

After a lot of research and controller gameplays I finally found the perfect controller settings for both casual and tryhard players. If you are interested in it then follow my guide.

1. Steam Big Picture

Sometimes R6 does not detect your gamepad, if it is working then you can skip this chapter.

First of all to use controller in R6 you need to enable it in Steam Big Picture mode.

• Open Steam and at the top of the left corner you will see a text named "Steam" Click on it.
  
• Settings
  
• Controller
  
• General Controller Settings
  
• Tick the following ones: Guide Button Focuses Steam, Generic Gamepad Configuration Support
  
• Lastly tick your controller brand. (PS, Xbox, Switch, etc...)

2. In-Game Settings

After successfully enabling the previous options lets move on with the in-game settings.

Controller Options

• Vibration: OFF - It will distract you while playing, adjusting the recoil will be more harder.
  
• Trigger Effect: OFF - This setting is trying to simulate IRL gun triggers.
  
• Gadget Deployment: Advanced - Allows you to place the gadgets much precise.
  
• Drone Deployment: Advanced - Nothing is more annoying when the game automatically
  quits your drone after prep and gets destroyed
  
• Aim Assist: OFF - Useless because Ubisoft disabled it in online matches (Only available in training). It will mess up your aim if you use it in training.
  
• Look Inversion: OFF
  
• Controller Rotation: Updated - The sensitivity will be the same every time so you will able to build muscle memory.
  
• Vertical Sensitivity: Can't go wrong between 25-35 (My sweet spot is 30)
  
• Horizontal Sensitivity: Try playing between 70-85 (I found 80 awesome)
  
• Left and Right Stick Dead Zone: 5% for both - If you have stick drift set the value higher.
  
• Aim: Hold or Toggle - It is a preference settings (I find "hold" more comfortable)

Controller Layout and ADS Sensitivity

95% of R6 players use DEFAULT Layout because everything is located at the right place. If the default leaning buttons are uncomfortable then set it to LB and RB.

Advanced ADS Sensitivity:

• 1.0x Magnification: 17
  
• 1.5x Magnification: 21
  
• 2.0x Magnification: 23
  
• 2.5x Magnification: 25
  
• 3.0x Magnification: 25
  
• 4.0x Magnification: 25
  
• 5.0x Magnification: 25
  
• 12.0x Magnification: 28
