How to find best mouse sensitivity

Hop into modes where you can respawn like Resurgence and Plunder, as this will give you multiple lives to test mouse sensitivity and find the best and most comfortable number for you. Not every player will have the same preference, so you’ll need to experiment for a bit before you find what’s right.

In Plunder you’ll have infinite respawns and access to 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.
