If you want that competitive edge over your opponents in Call of Duty’s battle royale, Warzone 2, you’ll need the best graphics settings for the job.

COD can be pretty demanding on computers and consoles alike, but we’re here to make sure that no matter what you’re playing Warzone 2 on, you’ll have the best graphics settings possible to guarantee high FPS and low latency.

Don’t waste another second trying to figure out the best graphics settings from scratch, we’ve done that legwork so you don’t have to! With this guide on your side, all you’ve got to do is a spot of fine-tuning.

Stick with us and you’ll be racking up a demonic kill count in no time (without being forced to fork out for the latest hardware to crank up that FPS).
 

Can’t you just use Warzone 2’s graphic presets?

You can… but we wouldn’t advise it!

So if you want the best gaming experience while playing Warzone 2… don’t use the presets. Use the settings we’ve laid out below for PC or console as a base, then tinker with them until your graphics and FPS are perfectly balanced for an excellent time hunting headshots in this battle royale extravaganza!

Best pro graphics settings

Before you jump to emulate these graphics settings, keep in mind that a lot of pro Warzone 2 players have absolutely beastly machines. They’re usually playing on a godlike PC with insane processing power and the latest graphics cards, which allows them to play with a high FPS and the silkiest, smoothest visuals this side of Avatar.

You might not be able to match these settings… that’s all we’re saying! But if you can play Warzone in 1080p with 144 FPS, go nuts!
