Killing Floor 3 Best Settings and Best Graphics Settings

Best and Recommended Settings for Killing Floor 3

Jump to a Setting!
Graphics Gameplay Advanced

Optimized Graphics Settings

Setting Value
View Distance Quality Low
Reflection Quality Low
Post Process Quality Low
Shadow Quality Low
Global Illumination Quality Low
Texture Quality Low
Effects Quality Low
Foliage Quality Low
Shading Quality Low
Bloom Off
Lens Flare Off
Lens Flare Intensity 0

For Killing Floor 3, it is recommended to set the graphics settings to low and prioritize performance over visual quality. As the game can be relatively high paced when playing at higher difficulties, reducing the load for graphics can reduce potential match-ending occurences such as stuttering and crashes.

Optimized Gameplay Settings

Setting Value
VSync Off
Field of View 90
FOV Scaling Axis Off
Frame Rate Cap 60
Motion Blur Off
Depth of Field Off

Turn off VSync in gameplay settings to reduce input lag in matches, and remove Motion Blur to prevent potential motion sickness, especially when playing in long sessions. Depth of Field affects object focus and is best turned off as the game is centered around killing hordes of enemies, not one at a time.

Field of View is best set to 90, especially when playing as Sharpshooter or Commando, as a higher FoV will make entities appear smaller, making it harder to hit them in combat.

Ninja players can instead opt for higher FoV to avoid being swarmed by enemies and have better map awareness in battles.

Optimized Advanced Settings

Setting Value
Reflection Method Off
Global Illumination Method None
NVIDIA Reflex Enable
Supersampling Mode NVIDIA DLSS
Quality Mode Performance

It is highly recommended to turn off both Reflection Method or Global Illumination as these tend to add higher load in the CPU, potentially leading to increased lag and frame drops. NVIDIA Reflex is best enabled for less input lag, and weaker CPUs can opt to turn the Boost option on for improved latency.

Players can be flexible in their Supersampling Mode, but enabling NVIDIA DLSS and setting the mode to Performance allows decent performance without sacrificing too much visual quality. Higher end CPUs can set it to Quality instead if the blur from reduced image quality is hindering gameplay experience.

Can You Turn On Damage Numbers?

Damage Numbers Cannot Be Viewed

There is no setting available to display the damage numbers in battle. Players are unable to view the specific amount of damage they deal to enemies during a match.
