Step 1: Calculate 1:1 Focal Length ADS Ratio (0% Monitor Distance)
At standard 90 or 95 FOV, setting your ADS Sensitivity Multiplier to match 0% Monitor Distance (0.8189 for 90 FOV, 0.785 for 95 FOV) guarantees that small micro-flicks around your reticle require the exact same physical mouse movement as hipfire.
Step 2: Compensate for First-Shot Vertical Recoil Jump
ARC Raiders assault rifles feature an aggressive initial 3-round vertical kick. Pull downward on your mouse pad during the first 250 milliseconds of your burst before easing into lateral tracking.
Step 3: Prioritize Machine Weakpoints Over Center-Mass
Heavy ARC drones and sentinel bipeds possess glowing blue and orange core conduits. Standard armor absorbs up to 60% of bullet damage; aiming directly at the rear coolant thruster or eye sensor deals 3x critical damage.
Step 4: Bind Slide-Hop to a Dedicated Thumb Mouse Button
Maintain high speed while firing by sprint-sliding down slopes. Binding slide/crouch to 'V' or Mouse 4 lets you bunnyhop out of danger without taking your fingers off WASD movement.
