Best Valorant Sensitivity: Pro eDPI, DPI and Settings

Valorant is a tactical shooter built around precise taps and tight crosshair placement, so like CS2 it pushes pros toward low, repeatable sensitivities. The in-game numbers look dramatically smaller — sens 0.3 instead of 2.0 — but that is purely because Valorant's yaw constant is higher. The turn speed pros aim for is in the same ballpark as Counter-Strike.

What sensitivity do Valorant pros use?

Verified Valorant pros cluster at 800 DPI (with a sizable 1600 DPI minority) and eDPI mostly between 150 and 400 — low by the raw number, but equivalent to CS2's 600–1000 once you account for the higher yaw. eDPI is again the figure to compare, since 400 DPI at sens 0.6 and 1600 DPI at sens 0.15 are the same 240 eDPI.

What is a good Valorant sensitivity for beginners?

Set 800 DPI and an in-game sens of 0.3–0.4 (about 240–320 eDPI). That is comfortably inside the pro band and low enough to learn consistent crosshair placement — the skill Valorant rewards most. If you over-shoot targets when flicking, lower it; if you cannot turn around fast enough to clear a flank, raise it slightly.

Why is Valorant sensitivity so much lower than CS2?

Only the number is lower — not your aim speed. Valorant's engine uses a yaw of 0.07 versus CS2's 0.022, so it takes a smaller in-game value to rotate the same amount. A CS2 sens of 2.0 at 800 DPI is a Valorant sens of about 0.63 for the identical cm/360. Always compare eDPI or cm/360 across the two games, never the raw sensitivity slider.

How do I convert my sensitivity to Valorant?

• From CS2 or Apex: multiply your sensitivity by ~0.314 (same DPI).
• Prefer eDPI maths? Divide your CS2 eDPI by 3.18 to get Valorant eDPI.
• From Overwatch 2 or Warzone: the converter handles it — yaws differ by family.
• Keep your DPI the same and only change the in-game slider.
• Verify by checking cm/360 matches in both games — that is the true constant.

Do not eyeball the conversion — a small error compounds into a different feel. Use the converter to keep your cm/360 exact, then leave it alone and put in the reps.
