This guide will help you to increase FOV in the PAYDAY 3 game.
Guide to Increase FOV Beyond 90
How to Do It
This is only for windows!
Step 1
- Open windows search and type “%appdata%” (without the ” marks)
Step 2
- Open the location and head 1 step back in the folder so you would be in:
- C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\
Step 3
- Now open the follow the path “Local” -> “PAYDAY3” -> “Saved” -> “Config” -> “WindowsClient”
So the top bar should say this:
- C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\PAYDAY3\Saved\Config\WindowsClient
Ofcourse your windows user name will be on the USERNAME’s place.
Step 4
- Now open the file named “GameUserSettings.ini” with any text editor, even the windows notepad works for it.
And in there look for variable called “CameraVerticalFoV”.
So it should look like (tho numbers may vary):
SBZVersion=1
CameraVerticalFoV=110
Brightness=1.000000So you can change the value to what ever you want. I use 110. after that make sure you save and you should be good to go.
And here is a photo step by step guide.

i changed my fov in game after having 120 and now i cant go back to 120 even though i set the value in the files to 120
Try to restart the game after setting the value
Thank you very much! Thank you a lot!
Max FOV 90 on Ultra-wide screens is annoying. I guess devs have been thinking about console players only (with non-wide TV’s).
So good you have improved their work 😀
Thank you 90 wasn’t enough for me lol
Just a note the settings FOV will still say 90
keep in mind the game uses vertical fov, so make sure to convert your preferred horizontal fov:
60 vertical ≈ 90 horizontal at 16:9
90 vertical ≈ 120 horizontal at 16:9
setting your fov too high can result in a fish-eye effect and potentially motion sickness!
