Fortnite sensitivity explained
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.
Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate Fortnite sliders; this converts the X/Y-axis (hipfire) value.

FAQ
Fortnite sensitivity questions
What is a good Fortnite sensitivity?
Most competitive Fortnite players use 5% to 9% at 800 DPI, which is 23 to 41 cm of mouse movement per 360° turn. If you are coming from another game, convert your current sens first instead of copying a pro's: muscle memory matters more than the number.
How do I convert Fortnite sens to another game?
Multiply your Fortnite sens by the ratio of the two games' yaw values, 0.005555° for Fortnite divided by the other game's yaw. The table on this page lists the multiplier for every game, and the converter does the same math with your DPI.
What is the Fortnite yaw value?
Fortnite turns 0.005555° per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Multiply that by your sensitivity and DPI to get degrees turned per inch of mouse movement. Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate Fortnite sliders; this converts the X/Y-axis (hipfire) value.
How many cm/360 is Fortnite 6.4%?
At 800 DPI, Fortnite 6.4% takes 32.2 cm (12.7 in) of mouse movement for a full 360° turn. Doubling your DPI halves that distance.
Where do I change sensitivity in Fortnite?
Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → X/Y-Axis Sensitivity (keep both equal).
