Fortnite eDPI Calculator — Effective DPI and cm/360
Fortnite uses a 0.01–1.0 sensitivity slider on top of your DPI, which makes setups hard to compare. This page turns your settings into eDPI and cm/360 and converts them to other shooters — hip-fire only, since Fortnite gives each scope its own multiplier.
Part of the eDPI Calculator.
Quick answer: eDPI = DPI × your mouse sensitivity X value (the 0.01–1.0 slider). cm/360 = 360 ÷ (sensitivity × DPI × 0.005555). A 0.10 slider at 800 DPI is roughly 81 cm per 360°, so most players sit far lower than that — check your own number and compare it with the chart.
Typical: 0.01–1
Only hip-fire is covered. Every aim-down-sights mode in Fortnite has its own multiplier, so ADS settings must be tuned separately in game.
| Game | Yaw (deg/count) | Sensitivity for the same cm/360 | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counter-Strike 2 | 0.022 | 0.0253 | high |
| Valorant | 0.07 | 0.00794 | high |
| Apex Legends | 0.022 | 0.0253 | high |
| Overwatch 2 | 0.0066 | 0.0842 | high |
| Team Fortress 2 | 0.022 | 0.0253 | high |
| Quake Live | 0.022 | 0.0253 | high |
| Fortnite | 0.005555 | 0.1 | medium |
| Rainbow Six Siege | 0.00572957795130823 | 0.097 | medium |
| Call of Duty: Warzone | 0.0066 | 0.0842 | medium |
| Yaw constant used | 0.005555 degrees per count (medium confidence — documented, not estimated) |
|---|---|
| In-game control | Mouse sensitivity X (0.01–1.0 slider) |
| Typical range | Fortnite players typically run sensitivity X between 0.05 and 0.20 at 400–1600 DPI, which is roughly 15–40 cm per 360°. |
| Caveat | Only hip-fire is covered. Every aim-down-sights mode in Fortnite has its own multiplier, so ADS settings must be tuned separately in game. |
How the Fortnite numbers are calculated
Because Fortnite's yaw constant comes from community measurement rather than an official formula, treat the converted value as a starting point and fine-tune in a practice map. ADS modes have their own multipliers and are not covered.
Keeping the same feel when you change DPI
Your cm/360 only changes if DPI × sensitivity changes. If you raise DPI from 400 to 800, halve the in-game sensitivity and your turning distance stays identical — the calculator will show the same cm/360 for both setups, which is the quickest way to confirm you have compensated correctly.
When to use this test
- Copying a Fortnite sensitivity from a video or a friend's setup into your own mouse settings
- Comparing your Fortnite setup with players who report DPI only, or eDPI only
- Moving to Fortnite from another shooter without losing your turn distance
- Checking whether your sensitivity sits inside the range most Fortnite players use
