Gyro aiming, also known as Motion Sensor Aiming, in Saros: Zenith is accessible via the DualSense controller’s motion sensors, letting you aim and control the camera by moving the controller. This guide will provide you with the best Gyro aiming settings in the game for the smoothest experience.
How to Access Gyro Aiming & Setup
Gyro is particularly useful for fine aiming corrections and tracking, while you use the right stick for large turns. You can actually use both the Gyro and the analog stick for best results in a game this chaotic. Here’s how to enable Gyro aiming:
- Go to the “Settings” menu.
- Select the Controller tab.
- Find and enable the “Motion Sensor Aiming” option.
Start with low gyro sensitivity at around 40–70% and raise it gradually until a small wrist tilt gives you precise tracking without overshooting. Note that horizontal sensitivity feels best when it’s slightly higher than vertical. Here’s how to fine-tune this setup:
- Lower right-stick deadzones first: Left Stick Input Min and Right Stick Input Min to 1% or the lowest without drift.
- Set stick Look and Aim speed to a comfortable mid-high range (150–200%).
- Enable Gyro and test tracking a moving enemy.
- If the reticle feels floaty, lower Gyro sensitivity or raise the deadzone slightly.
- If it feels too slow, just raise your sensitivity once again.
- Also, test 180-degree turns with your stick and fine tracking with Gyro.
Best Settings for Controller & Gyro Aim
It’s recommended to spend 10–15 minutes in a safe zone, while you’re adjusting Gyro until tracking feels natural to you, then you can refine during real combat. Generally, here are the best settings:
- Motion Sensor Aiming: On
- Gyro Sensitivity: Medium-low
- Stick deadzones: Minimal
- Stick Look/Aim speeds: 150%
- Aim Magnetism: Medium or Low
- Auto-fire: On
- Slow Game Speed: Optional
- High Contrast: Optional
Note that your Aim Speed should either match or be slightly lower than the Look Speed. Also, Aim Magnetism shouldn’t be too high for more control when using Gyro precision. High makes target acquisition easier, but it can feel sticky when you’re switching between the targets. Lastly, keep your Response Curve: Linear and Aim Axis Helper or Look Axis Helper: Moderate or Off, if you feel like they’re fighting the Gyro feel.
The Zenith update also introduced a few extra options, which should help you out with more precise aiming:
| Options | Settings |
|---|---|
| Weapon Auto-fire | On for Main Weapon if holding the trigger fatigues you, while reloads and perfect reloads remain manual. |
| Slow Game Speed | Start modest and enable auto-activation in combat if projectile patterns feel overwhelming. |
| High Contrast Display | Enable if visual clutter is an issue, as it highlights enemies. |
| HUD Targeting Dot | Circle for consistency, though reticle becomes circular when firing anyway. |
| HUD Distortion | Off for better readability during combat. |
