Best Rainbow Six Siege Settings
Video, audio and gameplay settings to adjust first, and why each one matters.
Prioritize visibility and frame rate
Lower shadow and effects quality first, since they cost the most frames and add the least. Match your monitor’s native resolution, and keep frame rate stable rather than chasing a high peak.
Audio wins rounds
Footsteps and gadget sounds give you information you can act on. Use stereo headphones and test the in-game dynamic range options to find what makes footsteps clearest for you.
Change one thing at a time
Settings guides date quickly after patches. Change one setting, play several matches, then decide. Treat any pro’s settings as a starting point and not an answer.
