Menu Navigation

Learn how to navigate Metal: Hellsinger's menus effectively. Discover tips for calibrating audio/video, adjusting FOV, and managing settings for optimal gameplay.

Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm-based FPS where precise timing is crucial. While the core gameplay is about combat, understanding and utilizing the game's menus can significantly enhance your experience and performance. This guide covers essential menu options and settings.

Calibrate your audio and video

Since Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm game, staying on beat is paramount to your success. If your audio and video are out of sync, you’ll have a difficult time. Take a few minutes at the start of your journey to calibrate these settings. You’ll need to tap a button when lights flash and you hear a specific sound. If you ever think things are out of sync, you can always dive back into the Options menu and recalibrate.

Adjust the FOV

The action moves fast in Hell, and the best way to keep yourself safe is to know the position of all your enemies. Increasing your field of view (FOV) will help with this task, so dive into the Options menu and crank it up as high as you can. If you’re not used to playing with a high FOV, it might take a minute to get used to the new perspective, but you’ll be thankful for the added peripheral vision.

Save your Ultimates

Each weapon in your inventory can perform a deadly Ultimate attack. These slowly build up by slaying enemies, and it’s worth holding on to these skills until needed. Filling your Ultimate gauge can take a good chunk of time, and there’s nothing worse than wasting it on a few easy enemies. Instead, try to fill them all up and have them ready for the final boss or large wave of enemies.

Tackle some Torments

If you find the world of Metal: Hellsinger has become a bit too challenging, don’t forget to head back to previous levels and attempt some Torments. These are smaller missions that reward you with Sigils upon completion. Sigils, in turn, grant you a variety of powerful benefits, such as increasing the number of hits you can take before your streak resets or speeding up the rate at which you accrue Ultimates. And despite the name, Torments are a fun diversion from your main quest.
