TL;DR: Battlefield 6 players can improve aiming accuracy by adjusting key settings: temporarily disable Uniform Infantry Aiming, set Zoom Transition Sensitivity Smoothing to zero, then re-enable Uniform Infantry Aiming. This fixes default aim sensitivity issues, enhancing shot precision and increasing kill potential during intense firefights.

Battlefield 6 has been released, and with hundreds of thousands of players jumping into the action, some are reporting aiming difficulty. Here are the settings you need to change to significantly improve your aim, ensuring that you get that kill, or multiple, during crazy firefights.

It seems that PC players are experiencing what could be Battlefield itself messing with their aim mid-fight, as Battlefield 6 content creator @TorbisXD discovered a few settings that, when changed, can improve aim, enabling more shots to be hit, and ultimately, kills secured. The settings that were discovered disable the automatic aim sensitivity adjustment, which Battlefield has left on by default.

The first setting is Uniform Infantry Aiming, which maintains a consistent aiming sensitivity regardless of whether you are aiming from the hip or down the sights. Head to Mouse and Keyboard settings, then Controls sub settings, which is located under the Infantry section. Once here, switch Uniform Infantry Aiming off, then head down to the Zoom section and turn Zoom Transition Sensitivity Smoothing to zero. Once that is done, head back up to Uniform Infantry Aiming and reenable it.

So, what did you just do? Uniform Infantry Aiming maintains the same aiming sensitivity when aiming down sights and firing from the hip. It's a very useful setting to have enabled, which is why we wanted to turn it back on after disabling it. Zoom Transition Sensitivity Smoothing adds more sensitivity to your aim while aiming down sights, which is why we want that disabled as the default settings were adding extra sensitivity to your aim when aiming down sights.

Steps to Adjust Uniform Infantry Aiming Settings

  • Open the Mouse and Keyboard Settings
    • Go to the Options menu.
    • Select the Mouse and Keyboard tab.
  • Navigate to Controls
    • Under Mouse and Keyboard, open the Controls sub-settings.
    • Locate the Infantry section.

    • Find Uniform Infantry Aiming.
    • Turn it off.
  • Adjust Zoom Settings
    • Scroll down to the Zoom section.
    • Locate Zoom Transition Sensitivity Smoothing.
    • Turn it to zero.
  • Re-enable Uniform Infantry Aiming
    • Scroll back up to Uniform Infantry Aiming.
    • Turn it back on.
