August 9, 2025

If you've felt your fingers get stuck while firing in Battlefield 6 on PS5, that’s the adaptive triggers working their magic—or maybe causing frustration! These special triggers push back to make the game feel real, but sometimes that push can slow you just enough to lose. Want to fire instantly like a pro? Let’s dive into how you can switch off this feature and get smooth, speedy shooting.

How to Turn Off Adaptive Triggers on PS5?

Battlefield 6 doesn’t show this option inside the game itself; you have to look into your console's secret settings lair. From the PS5 main menu, do this:

Go to Settings
Scroll down to Accessibility → Controllers
Find "Trigger Effect Intensity" and switch it to Off

Boom! Your L2 and R2 triggers will now feel super light, giving you zero resistance when pulling the trigger. No more delays, only fast action!

How to Turn Off Adaptive Triggers on PC?

Using a PS5 controller on your PC? Those triggers can still slow you down if Steam settings aren’t adjusted. Here’s the quick recipe:

Open Steam and click on Steam in the top-left, then select Settings
Choose Controller and enable Steam Input for PlayStation Controllers
Connect your controller via USB or Bluetooth
In your Steam Library, right-click Battlefield 6, select Properties
Under Controller, set "Override for Battlefield 6" to Enable Steam Input
If you still feel resistance, go back to Controller settings, edit the layout, and turn off any trigger force or intensity options

Save these changes and your triggers will react instantly—no more mid-fight tension!

Should You Turn Off Adaptive Triggers in Battlefield 6?

Adaptive triggers are fantastic for single-player sniping or dramatic gunplay. They make pulling the trigger feel heavy and satisfying. But in fierce competitive matches, that tiny millisecond delay can be a game-changer—for the worse. Many top players ditch adaptive triggers to gain lightning-fast shooting and aiming.

Turning off adaptive triggers is a simple two-minute fix that might just help you clutch that next kill instead of facing the respawn screen. Try it in your next few matches and watch your performance zoom up!

So why wait? Say goodbye to trigger lag and hello to swift victory in Battlefield 6!
