Many players coming from Valorant eventually want to give Marvel Rivals a try. Both games involve shooting and mechanical skill, but they are two completely different types of games. So, transitioning can feel pretty rough at first, especially when it comes to aiming and sensitivity.
This is because Valorant and Marvel Rivals handle mouse sensitivity very differently. Even if you’re still using the same DPI, the way your camera moves between the two games is not the same. Below, we explain the Valorant to Marvel Rivals sens conversion process.
While Valorant and Marvel Rivals are both shooter games, they are built around different perspectives and gameplay.
Valorant is a first-person tactical shooter. Gunfights are more precise and grounded, meaning crosshair placement is very important. Most of the duels happen at head level, so small mouse movements make a big difference.
On the other hand, Marvel Rivals is a third-person shooter. Your camera is positioned behind your character, and there’s way more vertical movement involved. Heroes in this game can climb buildings and fly from varying elevations, so there’s a lot of tracking that requires larger and faster camera movements and adjustments. Your experience with Valorant roles won’t come in handy in Marvel Rivals since the game is quite different.

As a result, your Valorant to Marvel Rivals sens settings may not provide an adequate experience if you’re not familiar with how to set it up properly.
The great news is that converting your sensitivity from Valorant to Marvel Rivals is actually really simple once you get the formula right.
The conversion formula is:
Marvel Rivals Sensitivity = Valorant Sensitivity x 4
In simple terms, Marvel Rivals’ sensitivity is four times higher than Valorant’s sensitivity. So, all you need to do is take your Valorant sensitivity and multiply it by 4.
| Valorant Sensitivity | Marvel Rivals Sensitivity |
|---|---|
| 0.10 | 0.8 |
| 0.25 | 1.0 |
| 0.30 | 1.5 |
| 0.50 | 2.0 |
| 0.625 | 2.5 |
| 0.75 | 3.0 |
Again, if your Valorant sensitivity isn’t listed in the table above, you can just run the conversion formula.

Converting your sensitivity using the formula is pretty simple, but that’s usually not where the story ends. Here are some factors you need to think about before committing to your converted sensitivity.
If you want your Valorant to Marvel Rivals sens to feel like it’s 1:1, your mouse DPI needs to stay the same in both games.
The formula we covered above assumes that your mouse DPI stays constant. So, if you convert your sensitivity properly, but use a different DPI between the games, your effective DPI (eDPI) will feel different.
The biggest adjustment between the two games is moving from a first-person to a third-person perspective. In Valorant, even small mouse movements will affect how your crosshair moves. It’s very precise and controlled.
In Marvel Rivals, your camera sits behind your character, meaning there is more ground covered on your screen. You have a much wider field of view compared to Valorant, so you might need a higher sensitivity to make those quick adjustments and react to what you see.
You should also consider verticality. In Valorant, most gunfights will happen on solid ground. Sure, you have agents like Jett and Omen that can dash or teleport on top of boxes, but most of the time, you are aiming straight ahead.
Marvel Rivals, on the other hand, is filled with heroes that can fly or climb on top of buildings. This means you need to constantly adjust between ground level and high elevations, which can be difficult to do on a low sensitivity.
Finally, it’s important to understand that sensitivity conversion doesn’t automatically mean you will find the perfect sensitivity in Marvel Rivals. Remember: the two games have very different fundamentals and mechanics.
So, you will most likely have to make more adjustments to the converted sensitivity. Try jumping into practice modes or test your tracking. Then, make small adjustments as you go.
