Fortnite to Apex sensitivity converter
Enter your Fortnite sensitivity and DPI to get the Apex Legends sens that turns the exact same distance. To convert by hand, divide your Fortnite sens by 3.9604 (or multiply by 0.2525).
Formula
Fortnite to Apex formula
Apex sens = Fortnite sens × 0.2525Fortnite turns 0.005555° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Apex Legends turns 0.022°. The ratio of the two, 0.005555 ÷ 0.022, 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.
Apex: Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.

Converting from
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°)
Converting to
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.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.9–2 at 800 DPI (26–58 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where Fortnite players land in Apex
Competitive Fortnite players mostly use 5%–9% at 800 DPI, which converts to Apex 1.26–2.27. Apex players typically sit at 0.9–2, so a typical Fortnite sens lands inside the usual Apex range once converted.
FAQ
Fortnite to Apex sens questions
How do I convert Fortnite sens to Apex?
To keep the same feel, divide your Fortnite sens by 3.9604 (or multiply by 0.2525). At the same DPI, Fortnite 6.4% equals Apex 1.62. If you play Apex at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Fortnite 6.4% in Apex?
Fortnite 6.4% at 800 DPI is Apex 1.62 at 800 DPI (exactly 1.616). Both need 32.2 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is Fortnite sensitivity the same as Apex?
No. Fortnite turns 0.005555° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Apex turns 0.022°, so the same number in Apex is 3.96× faster. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Apex Legends?
Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity. Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.
Why does Apex feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but Fortnite and Apex 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.
