Advanced Control Settings

Additional control settings can be found in the Control Settings and Camera Settings menu - Death Stranding - Controls - Appendix - Death Stranding Guide

Additional control settings can be found in the Control Settings and Camera Settings menu. The most important of them are the following:

  1. Auto-Aim - You can use the aiming assistant. It is enabled by default.
  2. "Keep Balance" Control Sensitivity - You can set how sensitive the game should treat holding down L2 and R2 buttons as an action to regain balance. It is best not to decrease the default value, otherwise the game may trigger other actions related to these buttons more often and as a result you may fall to the ground and damage the transported cargo.
  3. Minimum Button Hold Duration - this is the amount of time required to register a given action as holding the button instead of pressing it. The default value of 1 is sufficient to distinguish between presses and holds.
  4. Controls for Soothing BB - you can define how you want to calm BB. By default, the game suggests using motion sensors of your gaming controller (you have to move them alternately up and down), but if for some reason you don't want to use them you can choose to alternatively use R2 to perform this action.
  5. Left Stick and Right Stick Dead Zones - you can change the parameters of the so-called dead zones for each analog knob. Choose a higher value if you have problems with too high sensitivity or a malfunctioning controller, which for example "pulls" left or right.
  6. Camera Speed - you can change the sensitivity level of the camera movement separately for the X and Y axes. Additionally, there are separate settings for TPP and FPP views.
  7. Camera Movement - you can reverse the camera controls separately for the X and Y axes. Additionally, there are separate settings for TPP and FPP views.
  8. Aim Acceleration / Deceleration - You can set hardware acceleration levels for aiming. The default values of 1 seem to be fine.
