Why Deadlock and Overwatch 2 numbers differ
Deadlock runs on Source 2 and Overwatch 2 on Blizzard proprietary engine. Overwatch 2 numbers are 6.67× larger than Deadlock numbers for the same hand movement, because Overwatch 2 turns less per mouse count. The Deadlock value is community-measured, because the developer has not published one.
Deadlock turns twice as far per count as CS2, so your Deadlock number is half your CS2 number. Because it is third-person, close-range tracking can still feel different.
Why does my converted sensitivity feel different?
- Field of view: a wider FOV makes the screen appear to move slower even at the same cm/360.
- Scoped and ADS aim: this matches hipfire only. Check Overwatch 2’s own zoom settings.
- Camera: Deadlock is third-person, so tracking a target close to your hero can feel different from a first-person game.
- Mouse acceleration: if Windows acceleration or a mouse app adds it, the same movement turns a different amount depending on speed. Turn it off.
