Guide Standoff 2 settings: how to make 120 FPS, customize controls and lower ping?

[exi]

If you opened and are reading this guide, then at some point you definitely had a situation where the crosshair flicks at the most crucial moment, the enemy suddenly peeks, the screen turns into a slideshow, and then, after it stops lagging, you're already looking at the death screen. This happens very often if you play on a weak PC or mobile. And since we are playing shooters, of course, we want everything to run smoothly, without lags and FPS drops. The picture stutters, the fun from the game disappears, this won’t work. So let’s tweak the settings so the game flies.

Standoff Graphics Settings: How to Make Stable FPS?​

The first rule of Standoff 2 – never tell anyone that you play Standoff… Wait, stop… I meant sacrificing beauty for speed, and only then your phone will show 120 FPS. Believe me, you will spot an enemy in the smoke grenade faster on low settings than in "cinema" mode.

The secret of top players is not in cool skins, but in the ability to sacrifice special effects for frame rate. I won’t argue, the graphics in Standoff 2 are beautiful, but if your phone isn’t the most powerful, it’s better to lower them a bit so FPS on your Poco stays stable.

Here’s what you can easily change in the game settings:

• Shader and texture detail – if your phone heats up like an iron, set everything to "very low." Yeah, the grass will look like plastic, the graphics will turn into potatoes, but at least you’ll see the enemy before he pulls out a grenade or an M4.
• Model detail – better set to very low, they put a lot of load on the processor, and enemies aren’t going anywhere anyway.
• Effects and particles – it’s like confetti at a wedding: beautiful, but gets in the way of dancing. Turn them down to a minimum.
• Screen resolution – if your device is weak, try lowering it to "very low" as well. Sometimes it helps.
• Anti-aliasing and filtering – turn them off without hesitation.
• Dead body display – turn it off too. This setting seriously lowers FPS, and why look at dead enemies who will stay on the map till the round ends?
• Frame rate cap (target FPS) – 120 or 144 FPS in Standoff is a luxury for flagships. On mid-range devices, it’s better to pick 60 or 90 FPS, since stability is more important than numbers.

After making changes, it's best to restart the game so settings apply correctly.

A small life hack: turn on the built-in FPS counter. Usually, you can find it in the "radio module and core" section in your phone settings, or just install a third-party app to display it. If it jumps after setting up graphics, go back to medium values.

How to Set the Best Controls in Standoff 2?​

Uncomfortable buttons and sensitivity heavily affect K/D in matches. Here are some tips on how to tweak controls:

• Crosshair sensitivity – if you miss often, try adjusting it. Start with medium values and fine-tune in training mode: if you can’t turn fast enough to footsteps – increase it, if you overshoot past heads – lower it.
• Button size – make them big enough to press comfortably but not so big that they block your view.
• Button placement – move them where it’s comfortable for you. Everyone’s fingers are different sizes, and the default layout isn’t for everyone.
• Controls can be set up for 4 fingers, 5 fingers, however you like, just tweak the sliders and practice with bots.

Standoff 2 Optimization: How to Boost FPS in Standoff?​

And do you know what else "kills" FPS in Standoff? Your device hates when:

• Too many apps are running in the background. Close everything, even the cute shawarma shop near your house in Yandex Maps. You have no idea how much random apps eat up RAM and storage.
• Your GPU drivers on PC were last updated in the previous century. Check your Nvidia or AMD settings – sometimes this fixes 50% of problems. Also, make sure you're playing on the latest emulator version, updates often fix bugs and low performance.
• Power-saving mode is on. Yeah, the game will eat battery, but at least it won’t turn into a slideshow. So turn it off, and better yet, check if your phone has a gaming mode in settings – that one should be turned on.

Life hack for mobile gamers: if your phone turns into a furnace, take off the case. Overheating is the main enemy of performance and battery life. The optimal phone temperature in-game is around 40 degrees, you can enable temperature display (similar to FPS display).

How to Lower Ping in Standoff and Remove Lag?​

High ping can ruin any match because even with good FPS, shots will delay. To lower it:

• Connect to Wi-Fi – mobile data is often unstable and drains your phone's resources by constantly switching towers.
• Turn off VPN and close background apps using the internet.

How to Get 120 FPS in Standoff?​

Sometimes the problem isn't in the game but in the device itself, and getting 120 FPS will be tricky. If your phone is clogged with junk files and runs slow, Standoff 2 will definitely lag.

What you can do:

• Close background apps before launching the game.
• Turn on "Gaming mode" (if available in settings).
• Clear storage – delete unnecessary files to free up resources.
• Before an important match, just restart your phone – this helps free up RAM.

Conclusion: FPS Is Not the Most Important, But You Can’t Play Without It​

Optimization is all about finding balance. Don’t chase ultra settings if your device is barely breathing. Turn on the FPS counter and test every change.
And remember: even perfect settings won’t replace skill. But when the game doesn’t lag, improving becomes much easier.
Good luck on the battlefield – may your rank be as high as your FPS!
