We normally put the average eDPI of pro players in our guides, but that’s nearly impossible to do for this game given that different sensitivity multipliers result in vastly different actual sensitivities, regardless of DPI and ingame sensitivity. A lot of players like to use a custom resolution such as 4:3 to make character models appear bigger (because of the fact that the image gets stretched) and thus easier to focus on. For the beginners out there, here’s our tips for planning and executing in Rainbow Six Siege. Most of all, on attack, it allows you to spend more time setting up your drone.

We also use targeted ads. In short: setting the mouse sensitivity multiplier to a lower value means that the sensitivity range you can select from in the game becomes much lower, but much more precise. In order to have a ‘true’ 1:1 ratio for hipfire and ADS (except for the ACOG) you’ll want to put your ADS sensitivity at 83. Every operator comes with their own unique set of abilities, in the form of their gadget. For defenders, watch if an enemy drops the defuser when you down them, as the attackers need to pick it up to win the round. As with all of the games we analyze you will want a mouse with a flawless sensor. By holding a button prompt, you can scan the visible area for enemies, which if you do, it will tell you the enemy's identity, and a real-time location, giving you a massive edge on the competition. We suggest putting this at Anisotropic 8x for an optimal mix between having sharp textures everywhere and performance.

The absolute most important aspect here is shape and comfort. If you’re gunning for that 240Hz mark you’re going to have to go for something like the RTX 2080 Super or 2070 Super but luckily the 144 frames per second mark is easier to reach. These walls can be reinforced by defenders, making them "hard" surfaces. However, many of the tips I'll give will apply to Terrorist Hunt as well.). Therefore, why not aim for the head every single time? Headshots can be worth the risk. If you’re defending, traps and barriers are your best friend.

The developers (Ubisoft Montreal) kept at it though, and started working on a clear plan and roadmap to develop their vision of the ultimate competitive shooter. In this section, I'll cover how crucial aiming for the head is (even more so than in other shooters), destruction mechanics and how to use them to your advantage, the different types of game modes, and what happens if you do lose all of your health, and aren't quite dead yet.

These can still be broken, but only by the abilities of a select few operators. Running a custom resolution isn’t objectively better though, as you lose peripheral vision by doing so, so it’s very much something that depends on what you personally prefer. If you change the MouseSensitivityMultiplierUnit value to 0.01 then, the precision of the sensitivity slider doubles, but you lose half the sensitivity range. The average is definitely on the higher side, so it’s a good idea to start at 90, and if you feel a bit ‘overwhelmed’ or you want a more narrow and focused experience you can start turning down your Field Of View. The game doesn’t look like a garbled mess with the AA off and you get a nice performance gain from leaving it off. Second, if you can't take that extra time, aim for the neck/upper torso. In almost every FPS beginner guide we’ve written, having a mic and using it has been on the list of things you should definitely be doing. If you really need the frames you can turn this down to either 4x or 2x but the difference isn’t that significant.
