Settings in games mean everything in any game, and Naraka: Bladepoint is no different. Settings can range from audio and graphics to shortcuts and hotkeys. While they might all differ, they all serve the same purpose: to help you get in the zone. Settings that fit you and your gameplay will certainly make you feel more comfortable in executing the combos necessary to finish off your opponent. With that said, let’s talk about the top 15 best settings in Naraka: Bladepoint which will give you an advantage.
15. VSync
Vsync is one of the most well-known options in any game but is known to be a death sentence when playing competitive games. When playing single-player games, it serves its purpose well and makes for a very good experience. However, when playing competitive games, VSync is considered a handicap as it increases input lag and delay.
Turning off VSync will make your inputs faster and quicker. This gives you the absolute advantage as this is one of the many factors of input speed. By having a quicker input speed, you’d essentially have the first hit on the enemy, thus making your combo hit first just enough to get the killing blow.
14. Motion Blur
Motion blur is a popular available option in many games as it gives you a good immersive experience when moving your character and camera. This enhances the sense of motion by introducing artificial blur. But in turn, this also makes your view blurry and hinders you from getting every bit of information you can get on the battlefield.
Turning off motion blur gives you less of an immersive experience but makes you more wary of the map. By seeing everything with every movement, you’ll get to create more informed decisions and plays. You’ll easily see some enemy activity, loot, and events that are crucial in the game.
13. Scroll Weapon Swap
With tons of weapons available on the map, your inventory is sure to be filled with all different kinds of it. The beauty of this game is that with each different weapon, there is a specific use that makes you stomp your opponent. Using different weapons that suit that situation is a game-winning factor. But switching weapons can be your only downside.
By turning on the scroll weapon swap, you’ll be able to switch on-hand weapons easily and effectively. This allows you to easily swap between two weapons with just a flick of your scroll wheel. This makes you faster in changing weapons that suit your situation whether you’re far or near the opponent.
12. Controls
Keyboard, mouse, and controller options are already preset for players to enjoy. But while these aren’t applicable for everyone’s convenience, they still act as a placeholder and a basis for newer control options. These controls aren’t always the best for specific players and this can seriously damage your gameplay.
By personalizing and customizing your controls whether you’re on the mouse and keyboard setup or in a controller, you would essentially make it easier for you to control your character and all the niche little things that go with it. Being more comfortable with your hotkeys and controls, you’d have an easier time shutting down any opponent that comes your way.
11. Grappling Aim
The grappling hook is the main high-speed mobility option for players in Naraka: Bladepoint. This universal item can be picked up by anyone around the map and is one of the most important items in the game. Without a grappling hook, you’ll be slower than your opponents while they can easily catch up to you and inflict one of their deadly combos.
By setting grappling aim to auto, you just have to press a single key in order for it to work. You can press, hold, and then release once you see your target. This gives you an easier time to use the ability without sacrificing speed and accuracy. Through this, you’ll be more efficient in chasing, escaping, and engaging.
10. Bag Sorting
Your bag is your go-to when configuring your items, weapons, and your souljade. Without these important items, you’ll be significantly weaker than your opponent no matter how good you are. These items define the late stages of the game especially when all of the teams are backed up against a single corner in the zone.
A well-sorted bag allows you to quickly access the items, souljade, and weapons you need. The game is very fast-paced and accessing your items as quickly as possible allows you to upgrade, heal up, change weapons, and do so much more. By sorting the bag by quality, you’ll know which items in the bag are going to win you the game.
9. Audio Settings
Audio is a game-changer no matter how minuscule it might seem. The game is filled with ridiculously good audio which allows you to identify certain enemies and activities around the map. Changing audio settings is as easy as it comes. Depending on your preferences and how loud you want to hear certain elements in the game, it just needs slight tweaking.
By modifying the settings on your audio, you can effectively gain game information even if you don’t see it at first. Having an advantage in sound elements can easily make you more prepared for any encounter in the game whether it be teams fighting or certain characters dishing out combos.
8. Graphics Settings
Why play the game at all if not for its graphics? Jokes aside, Naraka: Bladepoint mixes insanely beautiful graphics with fluid gameplay mechanics that are sure to make your experience as immersive as possible. Your graphics settings mean the world to you and your eyes. Having a pleasant viewing experience makes you create more calculated plays and combos. By making a visual experience so soothing, you essentially have an advantage over the enemy.
Changing the graphics just involves heading over to the settings menu and tweaking some visual effects that you would want to change. Keep in mind that Naraka: Bladepoint is a beautiful game that requires a ton of hardware load—increased graphics sacrifice essential frame rates that keep your gameplay smooth and fluid. Find the balance between beautiful graphics and fluid gameplay.
7. Counter-Composite Buttons
Countering attacks is one of the most insane things you can do to outplay the enemy. Enemy combos significantly back you against a wall and can essentially end your life. Not having a counter to these deadly duels can easily lose you the game and all the precious items you have worked hard to collect.
By turning counter-composite buttons off, you can just press a single hotkey in order to counter the enemy’s attack. By countering, you easily end your enemy’s combo and allow yourself to do one of yours. Having a single key press from this option allows you to do this command faster and more efficiently.
6. Auto-Switch Weapons After Being Countered
Being countered and outplayed is a very common occurrence in the game as most enemies you will encounter know the timings of an effective counter. This can absolutely haunt you as it only takes one counter for all of your hard work to go to waste.
By enabling this option, you’ll immediately be given a melee weapon from your bag. This makes it easier for you to fight back against your opponent’s counter-attack and take revenge on them. This also keeps you in the game and makes it easier for you to switch weapons as this comes automatically.
5. Ally See-Through Effect
The game is filled with lots of obstacles such as huge rocks, trees, houses, and walls. This reduces your visibility and hinders your team’s coordination. Not being able to see where your teammates are makes it harder for you to reach your team especially when they’re getting ambushed by an enemy team.
Turning on the ally see-through effect allows you to see your allies even with the presence of any obstacles such as a wall, a house, or some terrain. This makes it easier for you to respond to your allies quickly, reducing any time lost in the process. Faster information leads to faster responses.
4. Button Prompt Settings
New players typically have a hard time adapting to a new game. The same is said for beginners in Naraka: Bladepoint. The game, being hard enough, has tons of difficult inputs that require hours and hours of gameplay in order to master. While this is easier said than done, most people take a long time before fully getting the hang of it.
Button prompt settings give all players a mini menu on their screen for their available options. This allows newer players to see the combos they can do while it also gives a refresher for the older players. By giving a guide to these new players, they can essentially learn combos faster and get good at the game at a faster pace. Having a combo guide is just super convenient.
3. Movement Options
Movement in Naraka: Bladepoint is a very important part of the game. The gameplay is basically all about precise movements that ultimately allow you to get the upper hand on enemies. Without effective movement abilities and options, you’ll be considerably slower and less effective than your opponents, bringing yourself and your team down in the ranks.
Settings options such as Auto Run, Eaves Jumps, Tree Climbing, Beam Jumps, and Wall Walking to auto can significantly improve your movement capabilities. This makes you faster and more agile. You’ll be able to chase, escape, and loot more effectively. The movement options also allow you to create more effective combos that make the terrain your playground. The faster you are, the more unstoppable you will be.
2. Grappling Hook Aim Assist
Aiming the grappling hook is as difficult as it gets due to the erratic movements of the enemy as well as the unpredictable terrain. Missing your grappling hook’s target is detrimental to yourself and your team as this puts you in a very vulnerable place. You could lose the chase, get caught by the enemy, or maybe even get stuck in the circle.
By having the grappling hook aim assist on, you’ll be able to focus more on your combos and fighting, rather than missing your grappling hook entirely. This option allows you to easily hit your targets with your grappling hook, easily secure your combo, and win.
1. Aim Assist
Attacking can get pretty messy in Naraka: Bladepoint. Enemies fly out of nowhere and dance with you in a battle of wits and wills. Their movements can get pretty erratic as they effortlessly continue to dodge your combos due to your wrongly pressed inputs.
By having aim assist on your attacks, you won’t have to worry about missing your target. The option allows you to easily hit the opponent, further locking them in your combo. Essentially, doing this ensures that you hit all of the shots you take, significantly reducing any chances of losing the duel and the game.
