Set yourself up with the best aim assist settings players can use in MW3
We are covering two different sections in this article to include the controller and aiming tabs when it comes to the best aim assist settings that Call of Duty League (CDL) players use.
These are broken into three important sections, which are the dead zone settings, sensitivity settings, and aim assist settings.
Deadzone settings (via CDL pro player Simp)
| SETTING | OPTION |
| Test Stick Deadzone | Off |
| Left Stick Min | 2 |
| Left Stick Max | 99 |
| Right Stick Min | 3 |
| Right Stick Max | 99 |
| Left Trigger | 0 |
| Right Trigger | 0 |
Aiming settings (via CDL pro player Attach)
Your stick sensitivity is ultimately up to you.
The general agreement in the community is somewhere in the five to seven range, with some people using a four or an eight, but much less often.

| Horizontal Stick Sensitivity | 6 |
| Vertical Stick Sensitivity | 6 |
| ADS Sensitivity Multiplier | 1.00 |

Aim assist settings
This one is a bit more up in the air, with plenty in the community suggesting the Black Ops aim assist type, while some CDL pros like Dillon “Attach” and Chris “Simp” Lehr both use default.
| SETTING | OPTION |
| Target Aim Assist | On |
| Aim Assist Type | Black Ops |
| Third Person ADS Correction Type | Assist |
Now you have the settings, feel free to tune them for your individual hands and playstyle if necessary.
These settings should have you set up to be more accurate than you’ve ever been, so get out there and laser your opponents.
