What is the best FOV for Apex Legends?
If you're not sure of the best FOV to use in Apex Legends, check out this guide. We'll explain what FOV is and what you should set it to for the best results.
The best FOV in Apex Legends can be hard to figure out if you're not sure what to use. The game starts you out at a pretty low FOV, and the best FOV to use might change depending on your setup.
Apex Legends is a fast-paced action-packed shooter, and generally speaking, the higher your FOV is the better your experience will be if you're a dedicated player. Higher FOVs allow you to see more in combat, which can be very helpful.

What is the best FOV in Apex Legends?
FOV stands for field-of-view, and it determines how much visibility you have on your screen. The higher your FOV is, the wider your screen will look. If your FOV is low it might look like you can't see that much around you, which isn't ideal for a competitive game like Apex where you need to be aware of your surroundings.
Apex Legends starts you out at a low default FOV of around 80, which probably isn't going to cut it for most players. Ideally, you'd want to increase it to around 100. You can go higher, but for the average player, an FOV between 95 and 105 will probably feel more natural and less like your view is being boxed in.
Professional Apex players might use a slightly higher FOV than that, potentially around 110, but anything at 90 or above is a noticeable improvement over the default FOV.
