Valorant: Best Sensitivity Settings [Hands-on Experience]

Unlike other FPS or Battle Royale games, Valorant has very different aiming mechanics, and you may consider it close to CS GO. Therefore, the precise gunplay in Valorant requires the best sensitivity, and in this guide, we will explain how to configure it.

Best Sensitivity For Valorant

The best sensitivity settings of the most widely known Valorant professionals are listed below:

TenZ

The ‘wonder kid’ Tenz has repeatedly proved himself to be an invaluable part of his team, Sentinels, as a Duelist. He is most frequently seen playing Jett and Reyna, the two Dualists who have the potential to push a site. His aim is practically the best.

My Take On How To Find Your Sensitivity

As for my sensitivity, I use 0.28 in-game sensitivity, while my mouse DPI is 800, which sums up to the eDPI of 224. For those who are wondering how I found my perfect sensitivity, so, as I have been playing Valorant for over two years now, and it took quite a while to figure out my perfect sensitivity. 

However, I will sum it up for you in one paragraph. Hit the practice range and set the bot difficulty to medium. After that, make sure to keep your crosshair in the middle of the pillar and flick on the bots as they keep popping up. If you are inflicking then increase your sensitivity by a few points; however, if you are overflicking, decrease your sens. Keep repeating it until you are not inflicking or overflicking anymore.

With all of the information provided above, my guide on Best Sensitivity for Valorant comes to an end.
