In the fast-paced world of first-person shooters, split-second delays can lead to failure in what might otherwise be a success. Players inBlack Ops 6are constantly seeking ways to gain advantage and enhance their performance, whether through strategic planning or fine-tuning their settings. Since the game has only recently launched, many players are experimenting with new movement tech: Omni-movement.

While players are enjoying the game and its campaign, many have become frustrated by a significant delay in shooting after doing a tactical sprint. Just hours after launch, players began noticing this issue, linking it to the Tactical Sprint Assist feature. This massive delay has left gamers feeling annoyed, as it prevents them from fully engaging their opponents. The good news is that a simple adjustment to the settings can dramatically improve the experience.
A Fix for The Tactical Sprint Assist option inBlack Ops 6
The Tactical Sprint Assist feature, when activated, allows players to transition into a tactical sprint (like a dash) with a quick button press. However, many players are realising that this feature is also introducing a lag in their shooting response time. This delay is especially noticeable during high-stakes firefights, where every millisecond counts. Fortunately, players can avoid this issue by adjusting their settings.
The fix was discovered by a player named Lightsfire_, who shared it on X to help the community. To eliminate the shooting delay after a tactical sprint, players need to make a few adjustments in the settings menu.

First, open the settings menu (Press Esc) and then go to the movement section in the controls menu. Here, players will need to find the Sprint Assist option (it should be the first option), which is likely set to Tactical Sprint Assist. This setting is causing players to experience a significant delay in bringing up their weapons and shooting (it costs an extra second).

To fix this, change the Sprint Assist option from “Tactical Sprint Assist” to simply “On.” While some may worry that they will lose the important tactical sprint feature, they can maintain this feature by going to the Movement Advanced option (under movement behavior) and setting Tactical Activation to “Single Tap Run” instead of “Single Tap Sprint.”
These small configurations not only help streamline the sprinting process but also ensure that players can transition seamlessly from tactical sprinting into shooting without a massive delay,providing them with a smoother gameplay experience.

Optimizing Settings for a Real Advantage
In the competitive environment of FPS games, every advantage players can get is crucial for increasing their chance of success. This also translates to optimizing settings in the game, every tweak to your settings has the potential to make a significant difference in the game’s and player’s performance.
In this case, it will help fix the delay issue inBlack Ops 6, where players were experiencing a massive delay in bringing out their weapons just after they performed a tactical sprint. The cause of the issue was the default setting for the controller where tactical sprint assist is given priority. By turning off Tactical Sprint Assist and making these simple changes, players can improve their response times.

Furthermore, these adjustments promote a more aggressive playstyle, whereplayers can focus on positioning and shooting rather than battlingwith cumbersome controls. By optimizing these settings, players will gain a substantial advantage over opponents who may still be struggling with the default configurations, leading to improved gameplay and higher chances of victory.
In the end, the world ofBlack Ops 6is filled with unexpected challenges, and every millisecond matters. So, always look to optimize your controls in your favor to gain the competitive edge needed to come out on top.
