A built-in FOV slider was added to the game on March 13, 2020^[2] with support to adjust the gameplay FOV between 70-100° (defaults to 70° on 16:9), however cutscene FOV remains locked to 70° unless modded.

Edit GameUserSettings.ini^[3]

Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Terminator\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini with a text editor.
Find a line starting with FieldOfView= and change its value.

Use the Terminator: Resistance FOV changer^[1]

Real-time FOV adjustment.

Affects cutscenes, allowing to compensate for Vert- scaling at 21:9 and wider resolutions but may be undesirable at 16:9.

Depth of field and chromatic aberration[edit]

Disable depth of field and chromatic aberration^[4]

In the graphics menu, set "Post-Processing" to medium. This disables chromatic aberration and depth of field while retaining ambient occlusion shadows.
For additional sharpness, motion blur can also be disabled in the graphics menu.
