How to Change Sensitivity

This is a guide on changing the sensitivity for console and PC in the game Battlefield 2042. Read on to learn more about the different sections of the Sensitivity menu.

How to Change Sensitivity

Playstation and Xbox

Instructions
Step 1	Go to your Home Page and access your Options menu.
Step 2	Open the Controller settings, then the On Foot Menu tab.
Step 3	Scroll down to the Advanced Section and set your preferred sensitivity.

Controller sensitivity can be found on the controller options, split under On Foot & Vehicles. Just like in PC, ground vehicles and aircraft share the same sensitivity. The Battlefield community has been very vocal with EA on changing this, so we hope this patch will come soon!

Sensitivity will depend on other factors

The recommended sensitivity setting for each console will vary for each controller. There are many factors to consider such as the presence or absence of joycon drifts, and the allocation of deadzones in your joysticks.

PC

Instructions
Step 1	Go to your Home Page and access your Options menu.
Step 2	Open the Mouse & Keyboard settings, then On Foot Menu Tab.
Step 3	Scroll down to the Advanced Section and set your preferred sensitivity.

Sensitivity settings under the Mouse & Keyboard Options setting in the options menu, split under On Foot & Vehicles. Unfortunately, ground vehicles and aircraft share the same sensitivity.

You can access these settings anytime, whether in-game or at the main menu.

Recommended Mouse DPI for FPS

The aim sensitivity will vary with your mouse's DPI. As a general rule, somewhere around 400-800 DPI is best for FPS games. Lower DPI values would mean more precision and require more sensitivity; while higher DPI values would mean faster movements of the mouse and require less sensitivity.

Different Sensitivity Settings

Aim Sensitivty Settings

Soldier Aim Sensitivity refers to your general aim when hip firing weapons. This corresponds to how much of your input will be translated into in-game movement as you aim your reticle.

Advanced Sensitivty Settings

This refers to all the various levels of aim sensitivity of scoped weapon ranging from 1.25x magnification all the way up to 10x magnification. Lower valued magnification would require more sensitivity since you need to change directions quickly at close range, while higher magnification values would require lesser sensitivity for more accurate shots.
