In online games, small details are important, and Rocket League is no exception, whether you are trying to find the best hitboxes or deciding on car shapes, there are always choices to be made within the game and customization is recommended to get the best matches.
Your controller layout and camera setup can also make a big difference in gameplay, as well as help you get an advantage on the pitch, which is why we share the best way to set up Rocket League.
The best Rocket League camera setup
First of all, the camera can become a complete problem, because its height, zoom and many other nuances can determine what part of the arena you see and the default settings may not suit your needs.
We share with you the best Rocket League custom camera settings
- Camera Shake: Off
- Field of view: 110
- Distance: 275
- Height: 110
- Angle: -3.0
- Stiffness: 0.45
- Turning speed: 5.5
- Transition speed: 1.2
- Invert Rotation: Off (Personal Preference)
- Ball Camera Mode: Toggle
To start, we think Camera Shake should be off as it completely disrupts the screen and confuses things, and it’s advisable to keep a 105 field of view as we don’t want to max it out, but still want to open up our vision.
Now for distance, it should be around the 275 mark and with height sitting at 115. We just found that too much height can throw off perspective a bit, and the same goes for distance. Angle won’t have much of an influence, so we’re happy to leave this at a neutral -3.0.
Anything below 0.55 should be fine for stiffness, while turn rate and transition speed are probably personal preference depending on how quickly you can track and adapt to sudden movements.
So we recommend 5.5 for the spin and around 1.15 for the transition, consider not inverting the Swivel as it just complicates the game. Also, the ball cam toggle switch should always be engaged for optimal performance.
The best settings for your Rocket League controller
It’s time to move on to the game controller settings. Knowing how to reset in Rocket League is one thing, but we must master these controls and ensure that your movement is fluid and pure.
Here are some of the best recommended controller settings:
- Steering Sensitivity: 1.00
- Air Sensitivity: 1.00
- Controller Dead Zone: 0.60
- Dodge Dead Zone: 0.60
- Controller Vibration: Disabled
- Vibration intensity: N/A
- Ball Camera Mode: Toggle
The important thing is to keep the steering sensitivity and air sensitivity at the lowest possible level. Tinkering with what is essentially the car’s traction control is fine if you’re playing a competitive racer like Gran Turismo or Forza, but it’s definitely not what we need here.
We will keep Controller Deadzone and Dodge Deadzone at 0.60. FPS players will be familiar with dead zones as it basically tells the joystick how much to push in a given direction before your player/car will move in that direction, so keeping it in neutral will do the trick.
Leaving control vibration is up to you, but for optimal playing conditions it’s probably best to leave it, and lastly, the ball camera mode should be set to toggle as you’ll want to follow the ball for most of the game and this saves you from having to focus on pressing extra buttons, and voila, let’s win!
