Check the mode and input limits

  • High Contrast Characters and navigation aids apply to Campaign and Horde Siege.
  • Tap To Hold excludes bayonet charges and chainsaw actions.
  • Toggle Sprint excludes Legacy and Legacy Alt control schemes.
  • The dialogue profanity filter is English-only; chat filtering is separate.[1]

FOV adjustment and switches for film grain and chromatic aberration are available on all platforms in the launch update. HDR UI paper-white has its own adjustment.[2]

Try a change, then fine-tune it

Changed settings show a hexagonal marker. Reset one setting, its section or everything from the reset controls. Changing the audio / text language requires a restart.[1]

For the complete option list, open the official accessibility guide. Use Boot Camp and combat training to try input changes before joining your squad.[1][3]
