The Ultimate Guide to Fortnite Sensitivity for PC Players

Choosing your sensitivity is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make in Fortnite.

But so many of us get it wrong because there are no clear guidelines about what to use.

In this video, I breakdown everything you need to know about sensitivity in Fortnite using research from over 300 pro players.

The key points are as follows:

1. Your X and Y sensitivities should be equal to one another, so your movements throughout the entire plane of movement are consistent and this will allow for greater skill acquisition
2. Set your eDPI between about 36 and 120. And lower and you're getting to the point of diminishing returns and any higher and it will become difficult to control your aim
3. Targeting and mouse sensitivity should be set as the same and a starting value of 50% is recommended for most players, so you get some slow down when aiming for greater control and precision

This is the best sensitivity video for sure, although the wording was very complicated.
Showing the Settings menu would have been a lot more helpful than all the confusing building footage.
Most new players won't build now that no build is here to stay.
Watching building makes my brain hurt

A eDPI of 50 or so is to slow. Takes more room then my mousepad has to do a 360. Maybe its just me, but if my polling is 1000, dpi is 800 then my fortnite sensitivity has to be a MINIMUM of 27%. Thats a eDPI of 216. I dont know who can play fortnite with slow ass mouse settings but best of luck to YA!!!

[hugeburger]

[itshavoc_onctrl]

What should I use for my targeting sense I use 800 dpi and 6 x and y

[Caluxtx]

What would happen if your mouse has 16000 DPI cuz mine does

[poison_za]

My eDpi is 420, I have a really small mode pad...like 20cm all round

[wifsk]

awesome just found out im avarege af my edpi is 70.4

[diegogl]

Nice video bro, but I have a doubt :(, the things is, I multiplied the sense of player who has a high sense and he barely moves his wrist, his sense is 400 dpi and 14% game sense = 56 eDpi and i tryed it with his same sense and i have to move my entire arm idk if they have the windows sense at maximum because mine I have it settled as normal in 6, or I did something wrong, thank you for the video though
