In Xdefiant, response curves determine how your aiming input on the controller translates to movement in the game. Understanding these curves can help you choose the one that best suits your playstyle. In most cases, Standard & Linear are the most popular.
Here are the different response curves, their benefits, and recommended settings for both controller and mouse & keyboard users:
Description: The default response curve that most players start with.
Benefits: Offers a balanced and familiar feel for most gamers. It provides a good mix of control and speed, making it suitable for a wide range of playstyles. Ideal for players who are used to standard FPS aiming mechanics.
Controller: Horizontal Sensitivity: 25, Vertical Sensitivity: 25, Deadzone: 10. Mouse: Horizontal Sensitivity: 100, Vertical Sensitivity: 100, Deadzone: 10.
Description: Provides a direct, one-to-one relationship between stick movement and aim.
Benefits: Offers a very predictable and straightforward aiming experience. It responds exactly as you move the stick, with no acceleration or smoothing. This is beneficial for players who prefer a more raw and direct control over their aim, similar to using a mouse on PC.
Controller: Horizontal Sensitivity: 25, Vertical Sensitivity: 25, Deadzone: 10. Mouse: Horizontal Sensitivity: 100, Vertical Sensitivity: 100, Deadzone: 10.
Description: Provides a more gradual and consistent aiming experience.
Benefits: Perfect for players who prioritize precision over speed. It allows for more controlled and stable aiming, which can be beneficial for long-range engagements and sniping. It reduces the likelihood of over-correcting your aim.
Controller: Horizontal Sensitivity: 25, Vertical Sensitivity: 25, Deadzone: 10. Mouse: Horizontal Sensitivity: 100, Vertical Sensitivity: 100, Deadzone: 10.

The Look Sensitivity setting is a critical feature that helps maintain your in-game precision. It controls how fast or slow the analog stick responds to in-game movments.

Custom FOV, labeled in-game as "FOV", determines how much area your player sees. Lower values will display less of the map while higher values will show more of the map. It is recommended to use a higher value as it is easier to see when you come across enemies. When using this option it is important to match whether using Consistent or Independent FOV. If using Consistent FOV match its value. If using Independent the ingame value does not affect anything in the gamepack.
OLED Menu Navigation:
- Navigate Up-Down to "MOD 4 Custom FOV".
- Navigate Left-Right to select your in-game Custom FOV.
- Press A/Cross if using Consistent.
- Navigate Left-Right to select your in-game Consistent FOV value.
- Press Circle to save.
๏ปฟCustom FOV Options๏ปฟ | ๏ปฟValue๏ปฟ |

Consistent | 60 - 120 |
๐ง Pro Tip
A higher FOV is ideal for quick environment scans. In contrast, a lower FOV shows you less information, beneficial for precision when wielding short to mid-range weapons.
This feature disables the physical vibration you would normally feel through your controller during gameplay.
OLED Menu Navigation:
- Navigate Up-Down to "MOD 5 In-Game Vib"
- Navigate Left-Right to select your preferred setting.
