Formula
Apex to Deadlock formula
Deadlock sens = Apex sens × 0.5Apex Legends turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Deadlock turns 0.044°. The ratio of the two, 0.022 ÷ 0.044, is the multiplier. It holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games.
Apex: Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Apex Legends
Apex Legends runs on a heavily modified Source engine and shares CS2’s 0.022° yaw, so the same number turns the same distance in both. The FOV slider does not change hipfire turn speed, but ADS speed follows each optic’s zoom and can be tuned per optic once hipfire is set.

- Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.9–2 at 800 DPI (26–58 cm/360°)
Converting to
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.

- 0.5–1 at 800 DPI (26–52 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where Apex players land in Deadlock
Competitive Apex players mostly use 0.9–2 at 800 DPI, which converts to Deadlock 0.45–1. Deadlock players typically sit at 0.5–1, so a typical Apex sens lands inside the usual Deadlock range once converted.
FAQ
Apex to Deadlock sens questions
How do I convert Apex sens to Deadlock?
To keep the same feel, divide your Apex sens by 2 (or multiply by 0.5). At the same DPI, Apex 1.5 equals Deadlock 0.75. If you play Deadlock at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Apex 1.5 in Deadlock?
Apex 1.5 at 800 DPI is Deadlock 0.75 at 800 DPI (exactly 0.75). Both need 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is Apex sensitivity the same as Deadlock?
No. Apex turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Deadlock turns 0.044°, so the same number in Deadlock is 2× faster. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Deadlock?
Settings → Mouse → Sensitivity.
Why does Deadlock feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but Apex and Deadlock 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.
