Deadlock Sensitivity Guide: Converting from CS2 & Overwatch

Valve's New Challenger
Deadlock has taken the world by storm in early 2026. Merging the MOBA lanes of Dota with the gunplay of TF2, it requires a unique aim style. But how do you transfer your skills?
The Source 2 Engine Connection
Like CS2, Deadlock runs on Source 2. This means the yaw value is identical (0.022). If you play CS2, your sensitivity is 1:1. You don't need to change a thing.
The Overwatch Conversion
Coming from Overwatch? The math is standard:
Overwatch Sens ÷ 3.333 = Deadlock Sens
Tracking vs. Clicking
Deadlock is tracking-heavy. A slightly higher cm/360 (25-35cm) is recommended compared to the tactical precision of CS (45-55cm).
