How to find the best mouse sensitivity in Warzone

Each Warzone player has a different preferred mouse sensitivity.

You should try hopping into either DMZ or Plunder to find the best and most comfortable mouse sensitivity for you. Not every Warzone player will have the same preference, so you’ll need to experiment for a bit before you find what’s right.

DMZ’s Al Mazrah has a ton of AI enemies with basic armor and weaponry that you can practice your shots on. In Plunder, you’ll have infinite respawns and pre-selected loadouts, granting you a stress-free environment to practice.

As a general tip, moving the mouse from one side of a 30cm mouse pad to the other should result in a 360-degree turn, but experiment and find what’s most comfortable for you.
