Whether players may look over their shoulder – the most consequential view setting there is.

The fixed crosshair in the centre of the screen – without it you have to aim down the weapon.

Whether the parachute opens by itself when the player fails to pull in time.

The bar showing which weapons and tools sit on which key.

Takes the bars for health, hunger, thirst and stamina off the screen.
