Overwatch to Fortnite sensitivity converter
Enter your Overwatch 2 sensitivity and DPI to get the Fortnite sens that turns the exact same distance. To convert by hand, multiply your Overwatch sens by 1.1881.
Formula
Overwatch to Fortnite formula
Fortnite sens = Overwatch sens × 1.188119Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Fortnite turns 0.005555°. The ratio of the two, 0.0066 ÷ 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 Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 shares its 0.0066° yaw with Call of Duty and Destiny 2, so values move between those three unchanged. Sensitivity can be overridden per hero, and scoped heroes such as Widowmaker and Ashe add Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed (default 30%) on top.
- Where to set it
- Options → Controls → General → Mouse → Sensitivity
- Common range
- 4–7 at 800 DPI (25–43 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°)

FAQ
Overwatch to Fortnite sens questions
How do I convert Overwatch sens to Fortnite?
To keep the same feel, multiply your Overwatch sens by 1.1881. At the same DPI, Overwatch 5 equals Fortnite 5.9%. If you play Fortnite at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Overwatch 5 in Fortnite?
Overwatch 5 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 Overwatch sensitivity the same as Fortnite?
No. Overwatch turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Fortnite turns 0.005555°, so the same number in Fortnite is 1.19× 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 Overwatch 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.
