I’ve since changed mine

37 soilder sensitivity  
85 zoom sensitivity  
Right stick deadzone 14  
Axial is around 22( I have to double check)

Then I adjusted my 6x, 8x zoom optic sensitivity to 110%

Here’s a huge controller tip - move your melee button to L1 and grenade to circle. Makes melee so much more natural and easy.

They can help a lot. Giving more hieght and width to the top of the sticks helps with comfort and accuracy.  
I use to use them but have now gone to a scuf controller where you just swap out the sticks for longer or shorter etc.  
My current setup is a mid sized stick for left and a tall one on the right.  
This has improved accuracy but takes some time adjusting to it.  
So yes I’d go for it but results take time.

I went with Orb thumb grips.  
The height difference in sticks between the DS3 & DS4 took a bit of getting used to but that wasn’t the main issue for me.

What I still cannot understand is Sony’s logic in the design of the top of the sticks.  
With all past controllers, the tops of the sticks were domed.  
But the sticks on the DS4 are indented and flat?!  
Wtf?!

Domed is a lot better because your thumbs can “roll” over the sticks, which gives a much more linear response.

The flat sticks of the DS4 does nothing for consistency in movements.

So I bought domed thumb grips.

Freeks make the joystick feel less stiff.

I changed out my ps4 joysticks with Xbox one sticks. They swap in without any modifications, and They are taller by around 20% on the DS4 controller. Combine that with freeks and it’s very noticeable.

Aim sensitivity: 50%  
Soldier Zoom sensitivity: 100%  
Aim acceleration: 0%  
Soldier Aim ratio: 80%  
Soldier zoom aim ratio: 80%

These settings are the best for your muscle memory. However, the sensitivity is up to you. I use 100 FOV so my sensitivity will seem different from someone that uses 74 FOV.

Maybe a tip for Recon players, i bindend ‘hold breath’ as the same button for aiming. ‘for me it’s L1’ 😉

Just find out what settings you need to change to make it easier to aim.  
It’s all preference, it doesn’t make any sense asking someone what their controller settings are since it’s just trial and error.
