Fortnite Best Gyro controller settings

Here are the best settings for Gyro Control Settings to land perfect headshots in the game:

• Gyro Aiming - Scope or Aiming
• Active Mode (Building) - None
• Lock Stick Effect - None
• Sensitivity - 0.16
• Vertical Horizontal Ratio - 1:1
• Steadying - 5.5

• Flick Stick - Off
• Advanced Gyro Options - Off

Now, the best setting would be to keep the Gyro Aiming to "scope or aiming", as it will only spring into action when using a scope or aiming. Also, ensure that the Active Mode (Building) and Lock Stick Effect are set to none.

You might want to keep the sensitivity between 0.14-0.16. However, you can try out the sensitivity to see what fits you the best. Other than that, turn off both Flick Stick and Advanced Gyro Options while keeping the acceleration low. This should help you easily land headshots in the game.
