Comfort settings in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
No source opened lists a field of view setting, a camera shake option or a head bob option. The camera style choice and the fixed camera distance option are the main camera controls Konami documents.

|---|---|---|
| Camera style (Legacy Style or New Style) | In-game settings | Pick Legacy Style for the fixed overhead camera. Switching requires exiting the game, so choose before a long session. |
| Fixed camera distance (New Style) | In-game settings | Turn it on and see if the view feels steadier. |
| Motion Blur | In-game settings | Lower it, or turn it off if the menu allows. Konami lists Medium and High levels. |
| Inverted Camera Look (Horizontal) | Options > Controls | Set it to match the camera control you are used to. |
