Overwatch 2 Sensitivity Guide: Hitscan vs Projectile vs Tank Tuning
Unlike tactical shooters where crosshair placement is primarily horizontal, Overwatch 2 features extreme vertical movement and diverse hero playstyles.
Role-Based Sensitivity Recommendations
- Hitscan DPS (Cassidy, Widowmaker, Ashe): 3,200 - 4,000 eDPI (Low/Medium sens for precision headshots).
- Tracking DPS (Tracer, Soldier: 76): 4,000 - 5,600 eDPI (Smooth 360 tracking).
- Main Tanks (Reinhardt, Winston, Doomfist): 6,000 - 8,000+ eDPI (Rapid 180 barrier pivots).
