Overview

If you play ARC Raiders on PS5, smooth performance and clear information matter more than visual extras. This guide focuses on practical console-side settings and habits that reduce input friction and keep fights readable.

The goal is simple: keep frame pacing stable, audio clear, and controls predictable during high-pressure extraction runs.

PS5 Setup Priorities (In Order)

  1. Prefer performance-focused display mode when available.
  2. Reduce motion blur and extra camera shake to improve target tracking.
  3. Use a moderate controller deadzone to avoid drift without losing micro-aim.
  4. Keep sensitivity consistent instead of changing it every session.
  • Display mode: prioritize framerate/performance.
  • Motion blur: low or off.
  • Camera shake: low.
  • Field of view: increase gradually until awareness improves without making targets too small.
  • Aim sensitivity: start lower than expected, then increase in small steps.
  • Aim acceleration/smoothing: minimal if the option exists.

Controller and Audio Tips

  • Keep your stick deadzones as low as possible without introducing stick drift.
  • Turn down trigger vibration intensity if it interferes with rapid follow-up shots.
  • Use stereo headphones and tune game audio for footsteps/mechanical cues first.
  • Keep voice chat volume below game effects so directional audio remains readable.

In-Game Stability Tips

  • Close other downloads while playing to reduce latency spikes.
  • Prefer wired Ethernet over Wi-Fi when possible.
  • Restart the game after long sessions if input or audio starts feeling inconsistent.
  • Keep your HUD and minimap habits consistent so your decision speed improves.

Quick Tune Process (10 Minutes)

  1. Run one match at your current settings.
  2. Lower blur/shake and test tracking in close fights.
  3. Adjust sensitivity by small increments only.
  4. Lock those settings for a full week before changing again.
