Found in the top of the options sub-menu under 'Gameplay', is an option to make your crosshair smaller and more transparent.

For me the default crosshair was too big and obscuring when fighting in long distances, so I play with the smallest scale and about %30 opacity. Makes a world of difference when you are trying to land plasma rifle shots on far away enemies.

Scrolling further below, in the gameplay section,


I can't emphasize how big a difference this makes. It turns the game from relatively fast to absolutely insane high octane action. Press shift just once when you start a level and forget about it. Rip and tear with agility worthy of the imperium.

Of course you can increase your FOV. I'm not going to go into that.

I have found that setting 'Gore Pool Size' to low increased my performance when there are a lot of enemies.

Furthermore, at 2560x1440, lowering the resolution scale to %70 or so made no tangible difference in the visual quality of the game, while increasing my performance somewhat. I can recommend at least tinkering with this setting if you are getting frame drops in big arena fights or the like. I personally can't even tell the difference until going below %85.

This was the big one. As you have probably noticed, keeping up with what your servo skull says can be hard, especially while on combat. Not only will they give key information about where to go next e.g ''Secret underground passage found'' or ''Descent found'', they also give neat trivia and broadcast what some bosses are saying during combat.

All of this to say, you probably don't want to miss what they are saying.

I have found that by adjusting the 'Safe Zone' I can read what is being said much more efficiently during combat. Also I've never missed a popup from them since I've made this change.



You can set your horizontal safe zone all the way down, this will make all of your hud more towards the middle.

Finally, at the bottom of the menu, there's accessibility.

Most of these are pseudo-cheats that allow more people to enjoy the game, which is awesome.
For us, you might want to Disable head bobbing if it makes you uncomfortable, especially if you are going to play with toggle run on.

More importantly, at the very end, theres an option that says ''Servo Skull Display Time.'' Now, you might think this means that messages from the skull will just stay on the screen a bit more, but no. setting this to long will make it so that the text will appear extremely slowly. So slowly in fact that in most cases it takes around 20-25 seconds for the whole text to appear. If it's a long one it can take up to a minute.

I have found that setting it to 'Medium' is a good compromise if you have a habit of missing dialogue. The text still appears slower than default, but it gives you a bit more time to read in general.

The game never tells you this but you can taunt by pressing T and my enjoyment of the game quadrupled after I discovered this.
