How can you convert your MW3 sensitivity to XDefiant?

Converting your MW3 Sensitivity to XDefiant is quite simple. The following section details how you can easily do it:

  • Fire up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and go to the in-game settings tab.
  • Take a screenshot or write down your MW3 in-game settings and mouse DPI.
  • To adjust for XDefiant's 110 FOV over MW3's 120 FOV, assess the sensitivity that covers the entire 360-degree range at the same mouse distance.

So if your MW3 sensitivity is 10 with 120 FOV, your XDefiant sensitivity should be 38 as both sensors cover almost the same 360-degree distance.

For a better grasp of the procedure, you can simply multiply your Call of Duty sensitivity by 3.8. For example 10 x 3.8 = 38.
