Best Apex Legends FOV 2026: 90-110 Settings Guide

Updated September 4, 2026: Start at 110 FOV for competitive Apex Legends. It gives you the widest view available through the normal settings menu, which helps in close fights and while scanning for teams. Drop to 100 if distant enemies look too small. EA recommends testing anywhere from 90 to 110, and the current ProSettings sample averages 107 across 87 tracked pros.

What is the best FOV for Apex Legends?

110 is the best starting point for most competitive players on a desktop monitor. You see more of the fight without turning your camera, and that extra peripheral view is useful when an enemy slides past you or another squad appears at the edge of the screen.

It is not a free advantage. A wider view makes enemies and other distant objects look smaller. If you keep losing targets at mid or long range, test 100 before changing your sensitivity. Players on a TV can also find 90 to 100 easier to read from a couch.

EA’s current PC settings guide calls 110 a common competitive choice and recommends a 90-110 test range. ProSettings recommends 110 as a starting point; its live 87-player sample lists a 107 average and says more than half of its tracked Apex pros use 110.

Apex FOV comparison: 90 vs 100 vs 110

Do not pick a number because a pro uses it. Screen size, viewing distance and eyesight change how usable 110 feels. The right FOV is the widest setting at which you can still identify and track a distant target without straining.

What changes when you raise FOV?

FOV controls how much of the scene fits on screen. Raising it expands your view at the sides. That makes movement and nearby threats easier to follow, but the game has to squeeze more of the world into the same display area. Targets in the center look smaller as a result.

A lower setting does the opposite. The center of the screen looks more zoomed in, so distant targets are easier to spot. You see less around your character, which can hurt when someone crosses your screen at close range.

A wider view may also cost a little performance on weaker hardware because more of the scene can be visible at once. If 110 causes frame drops, try 100 and use our Apex video settings guide to trim heavier graphics options.

Use these settings with your FOV

• FOV Ability Scaling: Disabled. This keeps movement abilities from widening your view and changing how aiming feels during the ability.
• Sprint View Shake: Minimal. Less camera shake makes movement easier to read.

FOV changes how targets look, so give yourself time before changing your mouse or controller sensitivity. If aim still feels wrong after a few matches, use the Apex sensitivity guide for mouse settings or the Apex controller settings guide for stick sensitivity and response curves.

FOV also does not change hitboxes. A wider view can make a model look smaller, and a stretched resolution can change the shape of the picture, but neither gives an enemy a larger hitbox. Read the Apex stretched resolution guide before combining the two changes.

How to change FOV in Apex Legends

1. Open Apex Legends and select the settings icon.
2. Choose Settings, then open the Video tab.
3. Move the Field of View slider to 110, or to the value you want to test.
4. Set FOV Ability Scaling to Disabled and Sprint View Shake to Minimal.
5. Select Apply.

A quick FOV testing routine

1. Enter the Firing Range and set FOV to 110.
2. Track a moving target up close, then shoot several targets at mid and long range.
3. Play one match without changing sensitivity.
4. If distant targets are hard to read, lower FOV to 100 and repeat the same drill.
5. Keep the higher of the two values if your target recognition and tracking feel equally comfortable.

Test one change at a time. Moving FOV and sensitivity together makes it hard to tell which adjustment helped.
