XDefiant Sensitivity Settings 2026: Convert from Valorant, CS2 & Apex

XDefiant Sensitivity in 2026

XDefiant by Ubisoft is a fast-paced hero-based FPS featuring factions from across Ubisoft's game universe (Splinter Cell, The Division, Watch Dogs, Far Cry). Its sensitivity system is more complex than standard FPS games because it uses both an absolute sensitivity value AND an ADS sensitivity multiplier that depends on the zoom level of each weapon optic.

XDefiant Yaw Value: 0.0066 (close to Valorant's 0.07)
Common competitive DPI: 800
Recommended eDPI range: 300–700
Average cm/360: 30–60 cm

Converting from Other Games to XDefiant

Valorant → XDefiant: ~1:1 (both use ~0.07 yaw)
CS2 → XDefiant: CS2 Sens × 3.18
Apex → XDefiant: Apex Sens × 3.18
Warzone → XDefiant: varies (Warzone uses FOV-based scaling)

XDefiant Settings by Faction Playstyle

Libertad (Support/Healer)

Libertad agents (from Far Cry 6) play a support role. They hold positions and heal teammates. Lower sensitivity favors their stationary playstyle: 400–500 eDPI, 40–55 cm/360.

Phantoms (Defensive)

Phantoms (from Ghost Recon) use shields and hold defensive positions. Medium-low sensitivity: 350–500 eDPI. Slower sensitivity helps precision when holding long angles with the faction's fortification abilities.

Echelon (Aggressive/Flanker)

Echelon (from Splinter Cell) uses invisibility and flanking abilities. Fast-paced close-to-medium range fights benefit from higher sensitivity: 500–700 eDPI, 30–42 cm/360.

DedSec (Control)

DedSec (from Watch Dogs) disrupts enemies with technology. Versatile role — medium sensitivity works well: 400–600 eDPI.

XDefiant ADS Settings

XDefiant has per-zoom ADS sensitivity multipliers similar to PUBG. For consistent feel:

ADS Low Zoom (iron sights, red dot): 1.0 multiplier
ADS Mid Zoom (2x–3x): 0.6–0.8 multiplier recommended
ADS High Zoom (4x+): 0.4–0.6 multiplier recommended

General ADS advice: Set to "Relative" in XDefiant options
(Maintains the same cm/360 as hipfire at 1:1 zoom)

XDefiant vs. Valorant Feel — What to Expect

Even with an accurate Valorant-to-XDefiant conversion, XDefiant will feel different because:

Faster movement speed: XDefiant characters sprint faster than Valorant agents — your camera must track faster-moving targets
No plant mechanic: Fights are more continuous — sensitivity must handle sustained tracking more than the peek-or-plant binary of Valorant
Abilities are less impactful: XDefiant is more mechanically driven than Valorant, so aim quality matters more per round
