This Apex Legends to Overwatch 2 sensitivity converter takes the sensitivity you use in Apex Legends and returns the Overwatch 2 value that produces the same physical turn — the same cm/360 — on the same mouse DPI. Apex Legends runs on a yaw of 0.022 degrees per count and Overwatch 2 on 0.0066, so the number changes even though your arm movement does not. Example: Apex Legends 1.5 at 800 DPI is 34.64 cm per full turn; the matching Overwatch 2 value is 5.00.
1.5 × (0.022 / 0.0066) = 5.00. Set Overwatch 2 to 5.00 and both games compute to about 34.64 cm per 360.Both games turn your view by a fixed number of degrees for every count the mouse sends, scaled by the sensitivity value you type in. That per-count constant is the yaw: Apex Legends uses 0.022, Overwatch 2 uses 0.0066. Your DPI stays the same, so the only thing that has to change is the in-game number.
cm/360 = (2.54 × 360) / (DPI × sensitivity × yaw)Apex Legends sens × 0.022 = Overwatch 2 sens × 0.0066Overwatch 2 sens = Apex Legends sens × (0.022 / 0.0066) = Apex Legends sens × 3.333The multiplier is 3.333, so every Apex Legends value becomes a larger number in Overwatch 2. That is not a faster sensitivity: Overwatch 2 moves fewer degrees per count, so it needs a bigger multiplier to produce the same turn.
Eight common Apex Legends values, the Overwatch 2 value that matches each one, and the shared cm/360 at three DPI settings. Every row is computed with the formula above; the cm/360 columns are the same for both games by construction, because that is the quantity the conversion preserves.
| Apex Legends sens | Overwatch 2 sens | cm/360 at 400 DPI | cm/360 at 800 DPI | cm/360 at 1600 DPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 3.33 | 103.91 cm | 51.95 cm | 25.98 cm |
| 1.2 | 4.00 | 86.59 cm | 43.30 cm | 21.65 cm |
| 1.5 | 5.00 | 69.27 cm | 34.64 cm | 17.32 cm |
| 1.8 | 6.00 | 57.73 cm | 28.86 cm | 14.43 cm |
| 2.0 | 6.67 | 51.95 cm | 25.98 cm | 12.99 cm |
| 2.5 | 8.33 | 41.56 cm | 20.78 cm | 10.39 cm |
| 3.0 | 10.00 | 34.64 cm | 17.32 cm | 8.66 cm |

Apex Legends places mouse sensitivity under Settings > Mouse/Keyboard. The slider runs from 1.0 to 8.0 and accepts one-decimal increments. Unlike most tactical shooters, Apex has a horizontal FOV slider from 70 to 110, and changing it directly affects how your sensitivity feels — a wider FOV makes the same cm/360 appear visually slower because each degree of rotation covers less screen space.
ADS sensitivity uses a per-optic multiplier system. Each magnification tier has its own multiplier that scales off your hip-fire value, so swapping a 1x Holo for a 3x Ranger changes your scoped speed automatically. There is also a global ADS Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier that scales all optics together. The most common conversion error is matching only hip-fire and ignoring the per-optic layer, leaving high-zoom scopes feeling inconsistent.
Overwatch 2 stores mouse sensitivity under Options > Controls > General. The sensitivity slider ranges from 1.00 to 100.00 with two-decimal granularity. Like VALORANT, OW2 uses a fixed 103-degree horizontal FOV that cannot be changed, removing one variable from cross-game conversions.
Heroes with scoped or zoomed abilities — Widowmaker, Ashe, Ana — have a separate Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed slider (0%-100%) found in each hero's individual control section. At 100% the underlying sensitivity is unchanged, but the zoom FOV reduction still makes the view feel slower. There is also a High Precision Mouse Input toggle in gameplay settings; enabling it feeds sub-pixel data to the engine and can eliminate micro-stuttering in aim.
| Game | Setting | Menu range |
|---|---|---|
| Apex Legends | Mouse Sensitivity 1.0 - 8.0 | 1 to 8 |
| Overwatch 2 | Sensitivity 1.00 - 100.00 | 1 to 100 |
Of the eight Apex Legends values in the table above, 8 convert to a Overwatch 2 value inside its menu range. If yours lands outside, keep the cm/360 and move DPI: half the DPI needs double the value, double the DPI needs half.
The reverse direction uses the inverted ratio 0.0066 / 0.022 = 0.3. Overwatch 2 5.0 becomes Apex Legends 1.50, and both sit at 34.64 cm/360 at 800 DPI. The Overwatch 2 to Apex Legends converter has its own prefilled tool and table.
Keep your DPI the same and multiply your Apex Legends value by 0.022 / 0.0066 = 3.333. Example: Apex Legends 1.5 becomes Overwatch 2 5.00; at 800 DPI both give 34.64 cm per 360-degree turn. The tool above does this and prints both cm/360 values so you can check they match.
No. Apex Legends uses 0.022 and Overwatch 2 uses 0.0066 degrees per count, so the same number turns your view slower in Overwatch 2: Apex Legends 1.5 at 800 DPI is 34.64 cm/360, while Overwatch 2 1.5 is 115.45 cm/360. The matching Overwatch 2 value is 5.00.
It changes how the sensitivity feels visually but the raw cm/360 for hip-fire stays the same. However, if you use a converter that factors in FOV, the output will differ because the angular movement per pixel changes.
Apex uses per-optic multipliers on top of a global ADS multiplier. If your source game has a single ADS value, you need to map it to each optic tier individually or adjust the global ADS multiplier to approximate the feel.
The in-game slider snaps to one-decimal increments. For finer control, you can edit the settings config file in your profile folder, though Apex may round to the nearest supported step on next launch.
No. Overwatch 2 locks horizontal FOV at 103 degrees for all players. This means your cm/360 depends only on DPI and the in-game sensitivity value.
Per-hero. Each hero with a zoom ability has their own Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed slider, so you need to set or convert them individually.
The two games use different yaw constants. Even though both have a 103-degree FOV, the same numeric sensitivity value produces a different cm/360 in each title. Use a converter to translate the value correctly.
