Adaptive triggers on controllers like the DualSense Wireless Controller can add immersion by simulating resistance when firing weapons. However, in fast-paced shooters like Battlefield 6, many players prefer to disable them for faster response time and consistent input.
If you’re playing on PC, you can turn off adaptive triggers using the methods below.
