Apex Legends players want an option to turn off dynamic FOV when they use characters like Octane and Bloodhound.

Every character in Apex Legends has a consistent FOV except for Octane and Bloodhound, because when these two legends use their abilities, they directly affect the FOV in the game. While this dynamic FOV effect creates a sense of speed, it also messes up your sensitivity.

Since this dynamic FOV can negatively impact your aim in the game, players want the option to turn this effect off permanently. FOV, or field of view, is a crucial part of a first-person shooter game like Apex Legends, as it can give you a massive advantage while playing.

Players Demand Disable Dynamic FOV Option

The wider FOV option gives players more information to process. For example, enemies hiding in your peripheral vision will be visible with a higher FOV. However, your mouse or controller sensitivity can be affected by this dynamic FOV, which may result in you missing shots.

Players in the Apex Legends community have been asking Respawn to either give them the option to disable it or remove this effect from the game altogether for some time now. Currently, only two legends face this problem. The first one is Octane while using his tactical stim ability and Bloodhound while they use their ultimate.

Respawn has not made any comment about implementing a dynamic FOV toggle in the game as of this writing. If they do decide to give players the option to turn it off, it would be a great quality-of-life update for all those Octane and Bloodhound players.
