CS2 To Fortnite Sensitivity – How To Convert

When switching from CS2 to Fortnite, the first instinct should be to go into your settings and adjust the sensitivity. Sensitivity is crucial for accuracy and gameplay.

The reason for that is that while CS2 and Fortnite might share an idea of a first-person aiming experience, the gameplay operates differently, and, in particular, the fields of view you use (FOV) will feel quite different.

With this guide, you can easily convert your CS2 or CS:GO to Fortnite sensitivity for a smooth transition.

Understanding Sensitivity in CS2 and Fortnite

So, before we look at the conversion mechanics in detail, what is sensitivity in CS2 and Fortnite?

CS2 Sensitivity

CS2 sensitivity is a variable that changes how fast your character’s view rotates in response to your mouse movements. When you play CS2, you have a default setting, and there are variables you can adjust to get more suitable for your playstyle. For example, for competitive play, many people use low for sensitivity.

Fortnite Sensitivity

Fortnite has a general sensitivity, a general sensitivity with ADS (Aim Down Sight), a build sensitivity, a FOV (Field of Vision) sensitivity, and (if you’re playing with a gamepad) a controller sensitivity.

Why Sensitivity Conversion Matters

If you’ve spent endless hours learning your aiming sensitivity in CS2, switching your sensitivity to Fortnite might mess up your game. 

 

Sensitivity is one of the most critical factors in your aim, and sensitivity is all about muscle memory. If you keep your sensitivity the same across multiple games, it keeps you consistent.

 

The issue is that CS2 and Fortnite are built on different engines and work entirely differently, so there’s no way to take your CS2 sensitivity exactly and copy it 1:1 over to Fortnite and have it feel the same. This is why you should convert your sensitivity to feel the same.

Step Guide to Converting CS2 Sensitivity to Fortnite

Step One: Determine Your CS2 Sensitivity

The first step is to determine your current CS2 sensitivity. To do so, open the console (usually with the ~ key) and type the text below: sensitivity. The console will then spit out your value, which will be your starting point.

Step Two: Use the Sensitivity Conversion Formula

Sensitivity conversion between games is usually done by multiplying the CS2 sensitivity by a conversion factor. The most common formula to convert CS2 sensitivity for Fortnite is:

 

Fortnite Sensitivity = CS2 Sensitivity * (Fortnite Sensitivity Multiplier)

Step Three: Use a Sensitivity Conversion Calculator

You can do this manually, but the most simple and accurate way to change your CS2 sensitivity into a Fortnite sensitivity is to use an online sensitivity converter. These are tools designed to help you find the sensitivity to use in Fortnite based on your CS2 sensitivity.

 

You can plug in your CS2 sensitivity and some additional details (field of view, monitor size, resolution) and then hit the Calculate button to get the appropriate sensitivity settings for Fortnite using a popular sensitivity converter such as Aiming.pro or Mouse-sensitivity.com.

Step Four: Adjust Fortnite Settings 

Apply the converted sensitivity number to your Fortnite settings once you have the converted sensitivity number. 

 

  • Open Fortnite and navigate to its settings menu. 
  • Go to the ‘Mouse and Keyboard’ tab, and you will see a text box. 
  • Input your converted sensitivity here. 

 

Remember to change the ADS sensitivity so that your aim is consistent while aiming down sights.

Step Five: Test and Fine-Tune

It is important to note that the converted sensitivity is just a starting point. After applying the tweaks, you should test your sensitivity in-game by playing games or doing aim training. If the sensitivity feels off, tweak it slightly until it does feel right.

Tips for Moving from CS2 to Fortnite

Here are some essential tips when converting your CS2 or CS:GO to a Fortnite sensitivity. 

1. Start with Low Sensitivity

Lower sensitivity is typical for CS2 players who are used to precision aiming, and starting this way in Fortnite can ensure you stay on target, especially during a firefight.

2. Focus on Building Sensitivity

Unlike CS2, Fortnite has building mechanics that require rapid and accurate inputs. Make sure you spend the time fiddling around with your sensitivity to ensure you can be precise when shooting and build faster. 

3. Practice With Aim Trainers

Training tools like Aim Lab or KovaaK’s FPS Aim Trainer can help you get used to your new sensitivity by giving you drills that improve aim consistency to help you feel comfortable across all your games. 

4. Stay Inconsistent

Change your sensitivity as often as possible. Changing your sensitivity will mess up your muscle memory and stop you from improving. 

5. Play regularly

The more you play Fortnite with the new sensitivity, the better you get used to it. Frequent playing builds more muscle memory for both your sensitivity and gameplay.

Conclusion 

Whether to maintain consistency in your aiming for online matches or just for reference to keep your gameplay feel as close as possible to CS2, converting your CS2 sense to Fortnite is a valuable skill. Once you’ve done the conversion, your aim in Fortnite will be the same as in CS2. 

 

Remember that it takes time to change between games; patience and practice are the keys to nailing your new sensitivity. 

 

Try out the changes, and you’ll be headshotting Fortnite like you did in CS2.
