Formula
Deadlock to Fortnite formula
Fortnite sens = Deadlock sens × 7.920792Deadlock turns 0.044° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Fortnite turns 0.005555°. The ratio of the two, 0.044 ÷ 0.005555, is the multiplier. It holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games.
Fortnite: Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate Fortnite sliders; this converts the X/Y-axis (hipfire) value.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Deadlock
Deadlock is Valve’s Source 2 hero shooter with an over-the-shoulder camera. Its 0.044° yaw is exactly double CS2’s, so the quick manual conversion is to halve your CS2 value. The competitive scene is still young, so its common range mostly reflects CS2 players who moved over.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse → Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.5–1 at 800 DPI (26–52 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Fortnite
Fortnite shows sensitivity as a percentage split across X-axis and Y-axis sliders; keep them equal or vertical aim will feel off. Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate percentages, and build and edit modes have their own multipliers, so only the base X/Y value is converted here.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → X/Y-Axis Sensitivity (keep both equal)
- Common range
- 5%–9% at 800 DPI (23–41 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where Deadlock players land in Fortnite
Competitive Deadlock players mostly use 0.5–1 at 800 DPI, which converts to Fortnite 4%–7.9%. Fortnite players typically sit at 5%–9%, so a typical Deadlock sens lands inside the usual Fortnite range once converted.
FAQ
Deadlock to Fortnite sens questions
How do I convert Deadlock sens to Fortnite?
To keep the same feel, multiply your Deadlock sens by 7.9208. At the same DPI, Deadlock 0.75 equals Fortnite 5.9%. If you play Fortnite at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Deadlock 0.75 in Fortnite?
Deadlock 0.75 at 800 DPI is Fortnite 5.9% at 800 DPI (exactly 5.94059). Both need 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is Deadlock sensitivity the same as Fortnite?
No. Deadlock turns 0.044° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Fortnite turns 0.005555°, so the same number in Fortnite is 7.92× slower. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Fortnite?
Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → X/Y-Axis Sensitivity (keep both equal). Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate Fortnite sliders; this converts the X/Y-axis (hipfire) value.
Why does Fortnite feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but Deadlock and Fortnite use different fields of view and camera setups, so targets can appear to move at a different speed on screen. Make sure mouse acceleration is off in both games and in Windows, then give it a few sessions before tweaking.
