Best Apex Legends ALC Settings [Detailed Guide]

ALC stands for Advance Look Control Settings in Apex. As the name suggests, it controls the viewing aspect of the game. However, it does more than just control your looks. Excellent ALC controller settings can turn you into a pro player, such as Imerialhal, with god-like aim-accuracy. The amount of accuracy you get just by changing these settings is unreal. Not just accuracy in your aim, but your recoil control will improve significantly.

That is why we have curated the Apex Legends ALC settings guide so that you can master these settings and become a professional player such as Shroud or Dizzy in the game. 

ALC Apex Legends Settings

The ALC Settings in Apex Legends can be set up by going to the Controller Settings. Here are detailed steps to find and customize the ALC settings.

1. Firstly, go to settings. You can go there by clicking the settings icon from the main menu.
2. In the settings, press R1 or RB to get the Controller Portion
3. Lastly, scroll down to the Movement / Aiming. You will find the ALC option at the very bottom in Movement / Aiming.
4. Click it, and inside there, enable ALC Settings. 

Once enabled, ALC Settings disables some of Apex’s basic Movement / Aiming settings. The ALC settings let the player control their aiming and sensitivity settings to a much greater level. In ALC, there are two main settings that get affected; the first is hip firing, and the second is ADS. There are many settings in ALC, and this guide will explain each one of those.  

There are many settings in ALC, and this guide will explain each one of those.  

1. Deadzone:

   • Determines when your controller inputs are registered. Lower values result in more immediate response but may cause drift on older controllers.
   • It is something ACEU does while playing competitive plays in Apex Legends.

2. Outer Threshold:

   • Controls the point at which your inputs reach maximum speed. Higher values make your aim reach maximum speed more quickly but may sacrifice control.

3. Responsive Curve:

   • Adjusts the speed at which your reticle moves after moving the thumbstick. Experiment with different settings to find a balance between speed and control.

4. Per Optic ADS Sensitivity:

   • Allows customization of sensitivity settings for each optic. Useful for advanced players who prefer specific sensitivities for different magnifications.

5. Yaw & Pitch Speed:

   • Determines the speed at which you look horizontally (yaw) and vertically (pitch). Adjust according to personal preference and playstyle.

6. Turning Extra Yaw & Pitch:

   • Provides a boost to yaw and pitch speed when reaching their limits. Use cautiously to avoid losing control during fast movements.

7. Ramp-up Time:

   • Adjusts the time it takes for your aim to reach maximum speed. Higher values introduce a delay, while lower values provide more immediate response.

8. Ramp-up Delay:

   • Determines when the extra yaw and pitch speed settings kick in. Keep it off for more consistent aiming.

9. Aimed Down Sight (ADS) Settings:

   • Similar to regular ALC settings but specifically for aiming down sights. Customize these settings to match your ADS preferences.

10. Target Compensation:

    • Functions like an aim assist or aimbot, helping players aim more accurately. Useful for beginners but optional for advanced players.
11. Melee Target Compensation:
    • Similar to target compensation but specifically for melee attacks. Recommended for all players to improve melee accuracy.
