@blkarmphoenixI do have great eyesight actually. I have been messing around with different FOV settings and 110 feels really comfortable for me.
@iBlockHeadA higher FOV lets you see more of the in game world on your screen. With the default setting, you could have an enemy standing just outside what you can see on your screen, but if you had a wider FOV you would be able to see him without turning.
For first person shooter games such as apex, it is a big help having your FOV higher. Just mess around with it and find a setting that works for you, and keep in mind, the higher the FOV the further away things will look.
