Fortnite: Best Sensitivity, FOV & Controller Curves
Aim is consistency. Use these ranges as a starting point, then lock them for 2–3 weeks while you build muscle memory.
Mouse & keyboard (eDPI ranges)
| Playstyle | DPI | In-game sens | eDPI | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 800 | 0.08–0.11 | 64–88 | Great general starting range |
| Low sens (precision) | 800 | 0.05–0.07 | 40–56 | Best for long-range aim; needs big mousepad |
| High sens (builders) | 800 | 0.12–0.16 | 96–128 | Snappier edits; harder to micro-adjust |
- ADS sens: 0.60–0.75 of hipfire; keep scoped slightly lower.
- Disable mouse acceleration in OS; set 1000 Hz polling if stable.
Controller (Linear vs Exponential)
Linear
One-to-one input; faster micro-adjustments when you master it. Great for high sens players.
Exponential
Gentler at the stick center; easier for new players and tracking.
| Setting | Suggested | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Look Sens (hip) | 40–55 | Start 45; raise only if you miss 180s |
| ADS Sens | 8–14 | Higher = faster tracking; lower = precision |
| Build Multiplier | 1.8–2.3 | Faster builds without killing aim |
| Edit Multiplier | 1.8–2.3 | Match build feel |
| Deadzones | Left 8–12 / Right 6–10 | Lower until you get drift, then back up 1–2 |
| Aim Assist | On (default) | Pair with consistent ADS sens |
Gyro (Switch/PC/PS) is great for fine aiming: keep low sensitivity and pair with stick for turning.
Graphics & performance mode
- Enable Performance Mode (if available) for high/steady FPS on low-mid PCs.
- Frame limit: match monitor (120/144/165). Competitive? Cap slightly below max to avoid spikes.
- Textures medium, shadows off/low, effects low, view distance medium/high.
- Turn on Visualize Sound Effects if you play without headset.
Warm-up routine (10 minutes)
- 2 minutes tracking (bot aim map).
- 3 minutes shotgun flicks (close-range drills).
- 3 minutes edits + piece control.
- 2 minutes long-range AR beam practice.
Don’t change settings daily. Keep them for at least two weeks while you grind the same routine.
