How to Convert Your Valorant Sensitivity to CS2

Achieving the perfect mouse sensitivity is crucial for precision shooting and overall performance in first-person shooter (FPS) games. When transitioning to a new game like Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) from Valorant, finding the right sensitivity setting can be a bit challenging, but it will boost your performance right from the start. So, fear not! In this guide, we'll show you how to convert your Valorant sensitivity to CS2 and help you optimize your mouse sensitivity for a better gaming experience.

Valorant to CS2 Sensitivity Conversion Guide

Before we dive into the conversion process, make sure to take note of your current Valorant sensitivity settings. Once you have that, follow the following steps to convert your Valorant sensitivity to CS2.

Valorant to CS2 Sensitivity Conversion Formula

The mouse sensitivity in FPS games is essential for accuracy, but the formulas can differ from game to game. In Valorant, your mouse sensitivity affects your overall accuracy, whereas in CS2, it's calculated based on hipfire accuracy and field of view (FOV). Consequently, your sensitivity in CS2 should be higher than in Valorant.

Here's the formula to convert your Valorant sensitivity to CS2 sensitivity:

Valorant Sensitivity x 3.182 = Counter-Strike 2 Sensitivity

This formula is a great starting point, but keep in mind that you may need to fine-tune it based on your personal preferences, game feel, and the weight of your mouse.

Valorant vs. CS2 Zoom Sensitivity Conversion Guide

In FPS games, the mouse sensitivity for hipfire and zoomed-in (ADS) modes can be different. Valorant allows zooming in with most weapons, whereas CS2 only offers this option with snipers and a few assault rifles. If you prefer using weapons that don't have zoom functionality, you can skip this section.

To convert your Valorant zoom sensitivity to CS2, use the following formula:

Valorant Zoom Sensitivity - Valorant Sensitivity + 0.82 = CS2 Zoom Sensitivity

How to Change Sensitivity in Counter-Strike 2

Now that you've calculated your CS2 sensitivity based on Valorant settings, it's time to apply it in the game and boost your aim to S1mple’s level. There are two straightforward methods to change your sensitivity in Counter-Strike 2.

    replacing [X] with the value of your Valorant to CS2 converted sensitivity.
