How to convert it

Find your sensitivity in Fortnite. It is in the input settings, where the X-axis sensitivity is shown as a percentage, under X-Axis Sensitivity (%).
Multiply it by 0.2525 (0.005555 ÷ 0.022), or type it into the converter above, and enter the result in Quake III Arena.
Use the same mouse DPI in both games, with raw input on and mouse acceleration off.

About the two games

Fortnite

The value is the percentage you type, so 6.5 means 6.5 percent. Scoped and building sensitivities are separate settings that this converter does not change. Engine: Unreal Engine 5. Yaw 0.005555.

Quake III Arena

Quake III Arena set the 0.022 yaw that Source games later adopted, so a Quake 3 sensitivity is the same number in Counter-Strike 2. Engine: id Tech 3. Yaw 0.022.

What players use in Fortnite and Quake III Arena

A sensitivity only means something next to the distance it gives you. These are the settings of players who compete in Fortnite, shown at 800 DPI. Pro numbers come from SensLab's October 2026 dataset of verified player settings; the last column converts each one so the view turns the same distance.

Is Fortnite sensitivity the same as Quake 3?

No. Fortnite turns the view 3.96 times less far as Quake 3 at the same number, which is why the numbers differ.

Does DPI change the Fortnite to Quake 3 conversion?

No. As long as the mouse DPI is the same in both games, the conversion does not depend on it. DPI only matters for your cm/360 and eDPI.
