Best and recommended settings for Resident Evil Requiem

Controls

Movement Type – Walk
Run Type – Toggle
Repeated Input Type – Hold
Aim Assist – Off
Reticle Deceleration – As you like
Reset Scope Magnification – Off
Dot Sight Perspective – On

The default migration type setting should be used Walk for better control during stealth sections and to avoid accidentally running, which can cause enemies to quickly detect you.

Additionally, setting Repeated Input Type to Hold will help reduce fatigue caused by fast input during QTE sections. The Reset Scope Magnification setting should also be set to Off to easily re-align the target for the next shots.

Controller

Controller settings are determined by personal preference as there is no sensitivity setting that applies to everyone. Therefore, these settings may vary depending on your preferences.

Keyboard and mouse

Many in-game controls can be assigned to specific buttons, making them easily accessible on PC and providing high accuracy when inputting. Aside from cursor lock settings, control settings on PC are completely dependent on the player’s preferences.

Camera

Grace’s Camera – First-person
Leon’s Camera – Third-person

We recommend using the default camera settings for Grace and Leon’s cameras to get the developer’s intended experience.

However, using a third-person perspective to increase the field of view (FOV) for both characters also has its own advantages because there is no FOV adjustment slider. This makes moving through the environment for exploration and combat much easier.
