How the conversion works
Fortnite turns you 0.005555° per mouse count at sens 1 (per 1%); Valorant turns 0.07°. To keep the same physical movement, the sens scales by the ratio of those yaws: 0.005555 ÷ 0.07 = 0.0794. Your DPI stays out of it as long as it's the same in both games.
Fortnite's sensitivity slider is tied to its field of view, and that view is fixed at 80 during normal play (the FOV sliders only change it while you sprint), so the percentage conversion holds whenever you are aiming. The 0.005555 degrees per 1% is the standard approximation; if a converted value feels off, measure your cm/360 with a ruler rather than trusting feel.
Assumes the same DPI in both games; the number that transfers between games is the physical distance (cm/360). Most pros land between 25 and 55 cm.
Quick reference (at 800 DPI)
| Fortnite sens | Valorant sens | cm/360 |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5% | 0.198 | 82.3 cm |
| 4.4% | 0.349 | 46.8 cm |
| 6.3% | 0.500 | 32.7 cm |
| 8.8% | 0.698 | 23.4 cm |
| 12.6% | 1.000 | 16.3 cm |
Your percentage becomes a small decimal
Divide by about 12.6. Fortnite 6.3% at 800 DPI becomes 0.500 in Valorant, and both turn you a full circle in 32.7 cm. Use your X value. Building and Editing sensitivities have no Valorant equivalent, so they stay behind.
Valorant will feel slow, and that is the view too
You are going from Fortnite's 80 degrees across a 16:9 screen to Valorant's 103. With the turn matched, Valorant fits more into the same screen, so reaching any point on it takes more hand travel: about 29% more for a flick to the screen edge, and about half again for small corrections near the crosshair. Valorant duels are usually decided by those small corrections on the first shot, so that is where you will notice it.
The camera changes as well. Fortnite is third person, looking over your character's shoulder, which lets you see around a corner before you step out. Valorant is first person, with the crosshair at your eyes, so holding it at head height where an enemy will appear is a habit Fortnite rarely asked for. The crosshair placement entry covers what to practise.
What changes between Fortnite and Valorant
Fortnite expresses sensitivity as X and Y percentages tied to its fixed 80 field of view, plus Targeting and Scope percentages applied to your X/Y value, and separate Building and Editing percentages.
Valorant's hipfire value is Sensitivity: Aim, kept to three decimals. Scopes are governed by the Scoped Sensitivity Multiplier (default 1.0), which scales off hipfire. Pros mostly sit between 0.25 and 0.45 at 800 DPI.
Take your X sensitivity percentage (Y is normally the same). Fortnite's Targeting percentage and Valorant's Scoped Sensitivity Multiplier are both factors on hipfire, but one is written as a percent and the other as a decimal and the zoom levels differ, so set the Valorant one by feel rather than copying the number.
Questions
How do I convert Fortnite sensitivity to Valorant?
Multiply your Fortnite sens by 0.0794 (the ratio of the games' yaw values, 0.005555 / 0.07). At the same DPI this keeps your physical mouse movement identical: 6.3% in Fortnite becomes 0.500 in Valorant.
Does my Fortnite scoped or ADS sensitivity carry over to Valorant?
Not by itself. In Fortnite, Targeting Sensitivity and Scope Sensitivity are percentages applied to your X/Y value. In Valorant, scopes use the Scoped Sensitivity Multiplier, a factor applied to your hipfire sens (default 1.0). Convert hipfire with the multiplier above, then set Valorant's scoped value so it matches how you have Fortnite set up.
Do I need the same DPI in both games?
The simple multiplier assumes the same DPI. If you change DPI too, use the full formula: target sens = (source DPI × source sens × source yaw) ÷ (target DPI × target yaw). The converter above handles this automatically.
