ALC settings sharing

So, I know some ppl (which I find weird for a shooter but that's besides the point) use the default look/aim settings control ranging from low to high (I think), but most I would assume would want to tailor their experience by fidgeting like a spinner to make their settings feel more for them by going into the Advanced Look Controller(? whatever it's called on PC is their deal ;P) settings. I think most also fidget with it after some time away or if they play alot and feel like it's too slow or for whatever reason...

Since the inception of the settings many many many moons ago I think I've altered it at least 50 times (Not every tinker, but every time you shut it off and play a game or multiple and open it again to customize it :P). At first my settings were completely different from how they are now, but I like this for now since I don't play 8+ hours and don't require that breakneck speed I had it at at first. So below I'll share the default setting first and then mine with a lil comparison. If you want to share yours, feel free to do so (also state your platform obv) and you might help others out. 

BTW good on Respawn that they placed numbers, cause at first it was just guesswork where your settings were, but bad on respawn that due to whatever reason the option to go into ALC is obscured. You can't use right/left thumbstick (navigation wheel) and for pc I'm assuming the mouse scroller to access it anymore. You have to use D-pad down on consoles and likely 'S' for pc to access it now until they fix it. Right click and open image in other tab obv to see it in full 4K goodness... XBOOOOOX JENKIIIIIIIINS

These are default and below are mine

I also have per optic on and by default all optics have an x1.0 sensitivity whereas mine has 1.1 on the iron sights/1x, 1.2 on the 2x, 1.3 on the 3x, 1.4 on the 4x, 1.5 on the 6x (for some reason XD) and 1.4 on the 8x and 10x.

So biggest outliers between default and mine are the deadzone & response curve... Got to get that twichiness without streaming somehow :P (I'll see myself out) and that almost all my other stuff are higher values than the base and the ramp up stuff obv as low as possible to not have to wait for going "faster, faster, faster". My settings are basically designed to look around fast, but have minimal inputs for strafing while aiming properly set just right so I don't overshoot my ADS when someone is strafing or running away or jumping and I can't track them... It definitely needs a tune-up but for now, if I just play a match or 2 at most, most days unless playing with some folk from here, this is good enough.

So what's your takeaway when looking at your settings as opposed to the default? ;D

    If you want to maximise aim assist I was playing with settings for best recoil control and started with 0-0 ads yaw-pitch then used a conversion sheet for 4 ads 140-80 and put it into turning extra so I could still have normal 4 ads sensitivity but only at the outer threshold and if you stay within the outer threshold you have the most recoil control. To smooth out the big difference at the outer threshold start with 1% ramp up time and increase to your liking with delay set to 0.

    The results felt like straight aim bot the moment you get anywhere near enemies but it was way too powerful and I couldn’t track enemies. I found ads has to be min 50 yaw to be able to track and aim onto targets for me and have now 63-36 (yaw-pitch) and 77-44 extra turning so they both equal 140-80 which is 4 ads. The difference is minimal so I removed the ramp up time and it’s hardly noticeable. Pitch ads could be higher I can’t track enemies vertical on a zip but I’d rather maximise recoil control and have it lower 🙂

    Thought I’d add my settings for reference, I used to play 4-5 classic on Xbox but after using linear ALC playing with a response curve higher than 3 feels very dull and slow.

    Dead zone of 2 gives just enough control for long range targets without having to increase response curve and an outer threshold of 3 speeds up how fast you hit the max making it easier and faster to flick and react. 

    Hip fire speeds are what I found off a conversion chart to be 4 and max turning yaw on that for turning faster and making wall jumps easier. 

    Playing on linear I find you don’t need as high a sensitivity.

    First things first, my main issue with games on PC in general on controller for years was the fact that steam overrides in game deadzone settings. I'm now a better more accurate apex player when i do play occasionally because I went into the steam controller settings and turned the deadzones to 0.. It took years of me posting on forums and asking for one person on steam discussions to finally mention this. Hopefully if any of yall are having this problem this will help. Now that i've turned these off, my ALC settings are a little more flexible but i still want them specifically tuned for my aim. These settings aren't the best but I can manage them: 0, 1, 6. -  280,180, 50, 0,0,0. - 158, 128, 0, 80, 35, 0. - ON ON - PER OPTIC - .8, 1.0, 1.0 THE REST 1.6.... AND 10 MINUTES LATER I'M STILL SEARCHING FOR A TDM MATCH!

    @LocustSniper New season launching soon, so matches will be scarce. It’s not often someone necro-posts a thread they were part of since the beginning 🤣
