The game provides a robust selection of options tailored for those with vision, hearing, and motor disabilities. Below is a detailed guide on how to customize these settings to maximize your gameplay experience.

Alternate Controls

3. Camera Assist and Lock-On Aim: These features allow players to enable or disable aid for aiming, with adjustable settings that enhance precision to accommodate varying comfort levels[1].

4. Auto-Weapon Swap and Auto Pick-Up: Activating these settings simplifies gameplay by automatically changing weapons or picking up items, thus allowing players to focus more on the action rather than constantly managing their inventory[1].

Motion Sickness and Visual Comfort
1. Camera Shake and Motion Blur: Players can adjust or disable camera shake and motion blur effects to alleviate motion sickness, along with turning off full-screen effects for greater comfort[1][2].

2. Field of View and Camera Distance: Modifying these settings helps change the player’s perspective, reducing discomfort related to motion sickness[1][2].

Combat Accessibility
1. Combat Options: Players can toggle features such as “Hostages Don’t Escape,” “Allies Don’t Get Grabbed,” “Enemies Don’t Flank,” and “Reduced Enemy Perception,” which help create a more manageable combat experience[1][3].

2. Slow Motion: This feature allows players to enable slow-motion during combat, providing additional time to react, particularly beneficial for aiming and strategic planning[3].

3. Invisible While Prone: This setting allows players to remain hidden while in a prone position, enhancing stealth gameplay by reducing the chances of detection[3].
