Where the options live, what changed in the last big update, and how to choose.

Changing FOV#

Look for the field-of-view option in the game’s video or gameplay settings. A wider FOV shows more of your surroundings — useful for spotting flankers — at the cost of making distant targets smaller. A narrower FOV makes long-range aiming a little easier.

Ranges change

The allowed range and the default value can change between updates, so we don’t quote numbers here. Check the slider in your client.

Health bar options#

The City Never Sleeps update (29 Sep 2026) redesigned health bars and added a new event feed showing killing blows and bounties. It also added an accessibility section with subtitles, UI colours, Auto Move, Auto Mantle, Auto Fire and reduced camera shake.

Choosing values#

  • FOV: start from the default, try a wider value for a few matches, and keep it if you notice threats sooner without losing aim.
  • Health bars and UI colours: pick colours you can tell apart at a glance — especially if you’re colour-blind, use the UI colour options.
  • Save your setup as a settings code so you can restore it after an update.
