Apex Legends to Overwatch 2
Sensitivity Converter
Going from Apex Legends to Overwatch 2? Multiply your sens by 3.333. That keeps your cm/360 (the mouse distance for a full turn) identical, so Apex Legends 1.4 becomes Overwatch 2 4.67 at any DPI. Use the converter for your exact number, then warm up at it in the browser.
The Apex to Overwatch 2 multiplier
Every shooter turns the camera a fixed angle per mouse count at sensitivity 1. That angle is the game's yaw: 0.022 degrees in Apex Legends, 0.0066 in Overwatch 2. Your real sensitivity is cm/360 = 2.54 × 360 / (DPI × sens × yaw), so holding it constant across games leaves one ratio of yaws: 0.022 / 0.0066 = 3.333. DPI cancels out, so the multiplier is the same at 400, 800 or 1600 DPI.
Apex uses the same Source-style turn rate as CS2, but it is a much faster game and many players run a higher sens there than suits slow, tactical aim.
Overwatch 2 turns far less per sensitivity point than any other game here, so its numbers look huge next to Valorant or CS2 values. Only cm/360 is comparable.
Apex sens to Overwatch 2: conversion table
Common Apex Legends sensitivities and their Overwatch 2 equivalents. cm/360 is measured at 800 DPI and is the same in both games; at 400 DPI double it, at 1600 DPI halve it. These rows span 20.8 to 64.9 cm/360.
| Apex Legends sens | → Overwatch 2 sens | cm/360 @ 800 DPI | Apex eDPI | Overwatch 2 eDPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.8 | 2.67 | 64.9 cm | 640 | 2133 |
| 1 | 3.33 | 52.0 cm | 800 | 2667 |
| 1.2 | 4 | 43.3 cm | 960 | 3200 |
| 1.4 | 4.67 | 37.1 cm | 1120 | 3733 |

| 2.5 | 8.33 | 20.8 cm | 2000 | 6667 |
eDPI (sens × DPI) only compares within one game: Apex Legends eDPI 1120 is the same aim as Overwatch 2 eDPI 3733. Compare cm/360 across games instead.
Field of view: why it may not feel identical
Apex Legends
Apex lets you choose your field of view under Settings > Video. It starts at 70, EA suggests 90 to 110, and the number is scaled from a 4:3 frame, so it is not directly comparable to Valorant's 103.
Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 has a field-of-view slider under Options > Video, measured horizontally on 16:9, with a maximum of 103.
Where to set it in Overwatch 2
In Overwatch 2, the setting lives at Options > Controls > General > Mouse > Sensitivity (Change Hero sets a per-hero value).
Your current number is in Apex Legends at Settings > Mouse/Keyboard > Mouse Sensitivity.
Overwatch 2 input
Overwatch 2 has an Enable High Precision Mouse Input option in its Gameplay settings. It lets shots register between frames; it does not change your turn rate.
Then warm up at Overwatch 2 4.67 (800 DPI) in the browser: the trainer runs at Overwatch 2's own turn rate, so the number you type is the number you train. Change the values in the converter first and the button above carries your exact sens.
Apex to Overwatch 2 FAQ
How do I convert Apex Legends sensitivity to Overwatch 2?
Multiply your Apex Legends sens by 3.333 (0.022 divided by 0.0066). For example Apex Legends 1.4 becomes Overwatch 2 4.67, which is 37.1 cm/360 at 800 DPI in both games. Keep the same DPI and the full-turn distance stays identical.
What is the Overwatch 2 to Apex Legends multiplier?
Multiply your Overwatch 2 sens by 0.3 (0.0066 divided by 0.022) to get the Apex Legends value with the same cm/360. Overwatch 2 4.67 goes back to Apex Legends 1.4.
Will Overwatch 2 feel exactly like Apex Legends after converting?
A full 360 turn will take exactly the same mouse distance. Both games let you choose a field of view, but they measure it differently, so the same number does not mean the same view. A wider setting makes the same cm/360 look slower on screen; a full 360 still takes exactly the same mouse distance.
Does DPI change the Apex Legends to Overwatch 2 conversion?
No. With the same DPI in both games the multiplier is always 3.333. DPI only changes your cm/360 and eDPI. If you change DPI, scale the sens by old DPI divided by new DPI: going from 800 to 1600 DPI, Overwatch 2 4.67 becomes 2.333.
Where do I enter my sensitivity in Overwatch 2?
In Overwatch 2, the setting lives at Options > Controls > General > Mouse > Sensitivity (Change Hero sets a per-hero value).
