Valorant Settings and Choosing the Right Valorant Sensitivity

Mouse sensitivity is overall a personal preference, and while some players have high sensitivities (20cm / 360° Turn) and others quite low (60cm / 360° Turn) there are some guidelines when it comes to Valorant and for the best Valorant settings you should take into account before choosing or changing your mouse sensitivity.

a.      The Time to Kill (TTK) is very low, meaning that you die in a split second when taking damage. This means that when an enemy pops-up outside your field of view (FOV) he has a major advantage over you as he sees you first and most likely going to take you out if he doesn’t mess up his aim.

b.      Targets in Valorant are quite small and the hitboxes aren’t very forgiving as they just cover the hero’s body mesh. This means that you need to accurately aim and there isn’t any room for error when it comes to first shot accuracy as the spread and gun recoil kicks in quite fast for most guns, making it harder to correct when firing.

Having these in mind we can confirm that Valorant settings in terms of sensitivity tailor more towards low rather than high values.

The reasoning is, when you are flanked and the enemy pops up behind you or even outside your FOV, the chance that you die is extremely high in an evenly skilled match-up.

Having the possibility to turn your camera 320° in one mouse swipe won’t help you win the fight as it’s probably over by the time you’re on target due to the very low TTK.

When it comes to Valorant sensitivity, the lower the sensitivity the higher the room for aim error.

When the 360° turn distance is doubled (20 => 40cm) so is the error margin for over and under aiming your target because the in-game camera moves twice as slow when performing the same mouse swipe.

Overall, when being used to a low sensitivity your first shot aim accuracy will be higher compared to high sensitivity. If you need help converting sens values from another game that you play you can use our Valorant Sensitivity Converter.
