How to convert VALORANT sensitivity to Deadlock

Syed Mujtaba Naqvi Published 08/09/2024

When switching from VALORANT to Deadlock, players find it difficult to adjust to the completely different mechanics of Deadlock. One of the first adjustments players will need to make is transferring their sensitivity settings. Both games use different metrics for mouse sensitivity, meaning that what feels smooth and controlled in VALORANT may feel too slow or fast in Deadlock. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to convert your VALORANT sensitivity to Deadlock for a seamless gameplay experience.

Why you need to convert your sensitivty

Deadlock has quickly become a top choice among shooter fans, with over 100,000 players testing its beta version. However, despite similarities in gameplay style with VALORANT, the sensitivity systems are different. Your settings won’t feel the same in Deadlock, and adjusting your sensitivity is key to maintaining accuracy. If you’re a consistent FPS or TPS gamer, it can mess up your muscle memory or cause you to underperform in one or both of the games. And as we all know, consistent aim is required for shooters like Valorant or Deadlock. There is an immediate need to convert your VALORANT sensitivity to Deadlock.

Valorant sensitivity to Deadlock conversion formula

The easiest way to convert your VALORANT sensitivity to Deadlock is by using a simple formula. Deadlock’s sensitivity scale differs from VALORANT’s, and for that you’ll need to multiply your VALORANT sensitivity by “0.1591” to get your Deadlock sensitivity.

• Formula for VALORANT to Deadlock conversion
  • Deadlock sensitivity = VALORANT sensivity * 1.591
• Example
  • If you VALORANT sens is “0.5”, your Deadlock sens will be, 0.5 * 1.591 = 0.7966.
  • Since Deadlock only allows 2 to 3 decimal places in-game, players might need to open up the configuration file and change the value of “sensitivity” to get an exact match,
• Formula for Deadlock to VALORANT conversion
  • VALORANT sensitivity = Deadlock sensitivity * 0.629
  • You can reverse this conversion using this formula to get your VALORANT sensitivity based on your Deadlock sensitivity.

Using online sensitivity conversation tools

If you don’t want to do the math yourself, online tools like Gamingsmart.com can help you. This allows you to input your VALORANT sensitivity and convert it to Deadlock. The steps to do that are as follows:

1. Visit Gamingsmart.com, or any other online sensitivity convertor website.
2. Selected VALORANT as the game you’re converting from
3. Select Deadlock as the game you’re converting to
4. Input your VALORANT sensitivity in the “Game sensitivity” box
5. Then the tool will give you the converted Deadlock sensitivity in the “Converted sensitivity” box
   • Make sure the DPI boxes have similar value or leave them default at “400”

Adjusting sensitivity in Deadlock or VALORANT in-game

After figuring out the correct sensitivity, you’ll need to update it in your game of choice. The steps to change your sensitivity or sensitivities are as follows:

• Deadlock sensitivity
  1. Open Deadlock and navigate towards the settings menu from the main menu
  2. Navigate to the “Mouse” tab
  3. Find the “Mouse sensitivity” slider
     • Do not change the “Zoom sensitivity ratio” value for this step
  4. Drag the slider left or right to increase or decrease your sensitivity respectively
     • The default sensitivity in Deadlock is set to 1.25, so make sure to adjust according to your preferred settings

• VALORANT sensitivity
  1. Open VALORANT and go to the settings by clicking on the gear icon and selecting “Settings”
  2. In the first tab, navigate to the “Mouse” heading
  3. Double click in “Sensitivity: Aim” box value
     • The default “Sensitivity: Aim” value is “1”
  4. Enter your new sensitivity
  5. Click “Apply” to save changes

Switching between games can be tricky, especially when sensitivity settings don’t translate one-to-one. The key is to make small adjustments and practice in Deadlock’s training mode to get a feel for the new settings. The first start is to convert your VALORANT sensitvity to Deadlock, and make changes along to way. Whether you prefer using formulas or online tools, having the right sensitivity will enhance your aim and overall performance in the game.
