Settings to see enemies easier?
Are there any settings you can change to see enemies a little easier for someone getting old like me? (I use bloodhound.and seer because of my poor vision :D

The default setting for FOV in Apex is 70. I do not recommend anything from 90-110 as the higher this goes the smaller your enemies become and harder to see it is. I suggest 70 (default) to see your enemies better. Keep in mind if you play at a higher FOV, lowering it to 70 will affect your aim feeling, as it will feel more loose or like linear. You may have to lower your aim sensitivity one notch. Or leave it the same and go to firing range and just practice for awhile, within about 10 minutes you will get used to it and it will begin to feel normal.
I personally have no visual issues on KC, or Olympus or We. However, on sh*t point and Bowel Movement I have nothing but visual issues, get headaches, eyes water. I actually went for an eye test because I am an old man. Results were perfect so for me personally, those two maps are next to impossible for me to see on. I chalk it up as the foliage, color palate and saturation issues. I know others that also have no issues on the other 3 maps but also struggle to see on Storm Pi*s and Broken Map.
Take with a grain of salt. But give 70 FOV a go and see if that helps at all. Good luck.
@NickBeam27 Just in case you haven't tried it out yet, I have been using some "blue-blocker" gaming glasses for several years now, and I can easily feel the difference when I don't wear them, as far as eye strain and headaches and whatnot. I don't wear prescription glasses, but most places have options to include your prescription, if necessary. There are some expensive brands out there, but there are definitely cheaper options that work just as well. I have a pair of Gunnars, but I usually use my other, cheaper pair (can't remember the brand of those ones). Pretty much any blue-light blocking glasses should help with the eye strain. I can't game without them nowadays, because I feel the strain/tension after just a couple minutes.
Definitely won't help with actually spotting enemies, but wanted to share, for anyone that might be on the fence about gaming glasses. They have made a huge difference for me, and I even use blue-blockers at work, for when I'm on the computer
- @dSKyNafinchin Good shout. I recently started to wear them too.
Unless your playing on a 4k tv 50" or bigger then visibility can be a problem in the game largely due to the bland,murky,low resolution colouring Apex maps are all set in (one only has to look at the overview in a drop shop of Broken Moon to see the blandness).And then you get the strange shadowing effect of characters & enemies literally turning them black in colouring.My nephew who is a very good Fortnite player (good enough to turn pro) is always complaining about visibility issues & detecting enemies in Apex & I'd be inclined to agree with him when he says that graphically & colourization wise Fortnite is a better looking game with enemies far easier to spot without the need for thermal imaging perks.For many a season now I've mucked around with the FOV settings & the various contrasts in brightness settings as well as trying the various Colour Blind Mode settings (Protanopia,Deuteranopia,Tritanopia & off which worked best) but nothing really worked but then I adjusted my tv screen picture settings which I found Dynamic to be the best option (at least in other games anyway).I did find adjusting my reticule & laser sighting colours to illuminous helped spotting enemies at times though.
- @dSKyNafinchin Thanks Hayhor and dSKyNafinchin for that. I will absolutely try out these blue-light gaming glasses. Anything that may help even a little is appreciated. When and if I re-install. Still holding steady lol.
- @NickBeam27 Lol, I expect you back when you realize they do nothing beside hurt your eyes. No hate brother, but I guess you gotta see the futility of these things for yourself..? 🙂
- @Unitee01 Well eye test came back 20/20 so at this point i'll try anything once. Twice to be sure.
