Learn about The Long Dark aim control settings: Hold vs Toggle, Auto-Aim, Look Ahead, and Head Roll.

Aim Control: You can select between 'Hold', where you must continuously press the Aim button, or 'Toggle', where pressing the Aim button once will keep it active until pressed again.

Auto-Aim: When set to 'on', this feature will automatically hone in on enemies when you fire your weapon.

Look Ahead: This setting allows you to see further ahead during gameplay. It is suggested to leave this option enabled.

Head Roll: This feature permits you to turn your head a full 360 degrees while looking around.

Reverse Pitch: This setting changes the directional style in which your aiming mechanism moves.

Tips
  • Experiment with 'Hold' and 'Toggle' Aim Control to see which feels more comfortable for your playstyle.
  • Leaving 'Look Ahead' on is recommended for better situational awareness.
  • Auto-Aim can be helpful for new players or in intense combat situations.
