How to have a different sensitivity per scenario?

[ryuki stans loona]

Title says it all. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe it isn't possible. Whenever I try to change my sensitivity and filter by scenario / character, it always switches to whatever I change the next scenario to (if I am practicing on different sens). Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Been wondering the same, so far been switching manually if needed (although I generally do with same sens)

[o.o]

you can't currently change per scenario, but you can change per weapon in Game Options -> Weapons -> [weapon name] -> Override Sensitivity. this will transfer to any scenario which uses the same weapon though

why would you change it? You're supposed to master your own sens and not cheese it.

... You know people have different ADS and hipfire sens, right?

Yes, thus..? You didn't understand what I ment.

You're not firing from the hip in games unless you're just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around, so your hip-fire sense doesn't matter and it can differ. You just use it to look around. Your ADS sense is what you use for precise shots, and that value you have synced between each game you play.

in hunt showdown you use iron sights on rifles but not always on shotguns / close range and never with fanning

in overwatch playing ashe you need to be able to hit with 2 sensitivities

in quake it was common to have different fov and sens per weapon

aimer7 has said himself that he changes sens per game / situation / fov

just because you dont see where you need it doesnt mean the situations do not exist.

There are exceptions, but generally you of course want to hold on to a certain sensitivity to build muscle memory and to perfect your aiming mechanics. Quote from Aimer: Assuming your settings (fov, sensitivity, resolution, ...) are good for the game you care about, you should stick to them while playing an aim trainer.

Aimer7 is an aiming god, pretty sure he knows his perfect sens by heart and can change it per situation/game without completely losing his touch.

seems like more exceptions then anything else

"assuming your settings are good for the game" is pointless when its obvious that the settings are not good for a game in which you have to switch between shotgun and sniper rifle while you train only one sens. You dont want to tran close fast strafes with sniper fov and you dont want to train 1w6 with shotgun settings if you train mouse control for a specific game.

you asked "why would you change it?" in the beginning, you have enough answeres, it seems not to apply for your situation, believe them or leave it be (or do what ever you want im a post not a cop).

You can't change your sensitivities for the most part, because Kovaak believes, and IMO is correct in believing so (I experienced this for myself) that you need to use one sensitive and one sensitivity only (Unless you're referring to sniper aim, but that's a different thing entirely really). When I was a noob (still am basically) I was trying all kinds of different sensitivities because I could switch my dpi on the fly, and I felt there were certain areas where it could give me an advantage, but in reality I wasn't getting anywhere, and as soon as I stopped monkeying around; I immediately saw major improvement. You're building muscle memory. That's the most important part to your aim. You want to be able to aim effortlessly, so you can focus on other aspects of your play; you can't do that if you don't have muscle memory built up. In fact; you should have the same sensitivity in every game you play if you can.

There is a wealth of information in the community from Kovaak if you just search for it. Before the trainer blew-up (a lot of that was because of Fortnite) Kovaak would often answer questions himself, from users in need of help. I bet if you searched those key words "Kovaak's" and "sensitivity" you could find some conversations with him that would be very enlightening.

I was being very stubborn too, until I didn't see the improvements I wanted after training an hour or so a day; so I got over myself, and decided to listen to the person who's made the most successful and arguably the best aim-trainer in the world. You mention some exceptions, but I wouldn't use Overwatch as an example, and Quake is an older game; we've learned a lot about aim since then. You also mention Aimer7. No matter what he does now; I would bet good money that he stuck with one sensitivity until he was ONE with it. That's what you need to do. In order to break the rules, you need to learn them first. Most great artists do this; especially musicians/guitarists, and the two are more closely related that you would believe.

If you're still dead-set on this bad idea; the answer is in your mouse. There are several mice now where you can set your own DPI increments and then easily change them on the fly. That way you can bypass any game mechanics and your problem is solved in any game you play. The Logitech G602 is an example and it's fairly affordable and also has modern wireless. I never had anything close to a problem with it, and it's still working like a charm; I passed it on to my step daughter and she's not becoming a Fortnite wiz at 8 yrs old haha. I think that is the most simple solution for you, but I still advise against it. Either way; best of luck to you.

i have a feeling that im not beeing understood here, i will try to explain better.

Switching sensitivity without changing the fov would be useless, so far we agree.

If you change your field of view, because you switch from hipfire to ads or to any form of sniper scope it is impossible to keep everything the same, you have to chose from:
- same 360° / 180° distance (this is what you get if you dont change sensitivity)
- same distance moved on monitor
or other things, you can look up different methods on what you can match on mouse-sensitivity.com

if you see "some exceptions" you will notice that each example is a change of the field of view due to weapon change or aiming down sights or scope in and im really confused how this is not understandable.

Naturaly if you try to change your sensitivity for the same weapon and fov just because the map changes or something you will have a bad time, but also i have seen no one promoting something like this.

Also you can have more then one muscle memory, otherwise it would be impossible to play different fps games and hit. You get what you train for.

Also why would you rule out overwatch? If you play Ashe, Widow or Ana you have to be able to hit shoped and unscoped shots, so you actually suggest to train only one of them?

Rereading your message I can see I'm only repeating some of the thing you had already written. I was under the impression that you wanted to train multiple muscle memories, and not just one for regular play, and another for scoped. So I don't think there is anything wrong with that, I would just prioritize one over the other. I mean; I've done the exact same thing, I just prioritized hipshot/ ads over sniping, and then when I saw results, I started spending time training a lower sensitivity for sniping.

So why don't you try asking Kovaak himself? Send him a DM; if he think it's a viable enough question he will return your message eventually. He's developing Kovaaks' II right now, and has tens of thousands more copies sold, but he's one of the coolest most down to Earth guys I've ever met in gaming and I was a little shocked with how much time he spent with me when I couldn't figure out how to translate Fortnite's broken sensitivity slider to match in his trainer. He was really patient, kept helping even after I'd calculated incorrectly a few times and even checked back up on my progress. If anyone will understand your issues, it will be him. And lastly; I haven't played Overwatch since Ashe came along, and shouldn't have even mentioned it since I clearly wasn't fully understanding you. Best of luck I hope you get the answers you're looking for.

Thumbs up for the request! One more question, how did you transfer your Hunt sensitivity to the aim trainer? Doesnt matter which one (Hip, ADS, MArsman, Sniper, etc.) for now we just have to train it one by one....

Yes, thus..? You didn't understand what I ment.

You're not firing from the hip in games unless you're just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around, so your hip-fire sense doesn't matter and it can differ. You just use it to look around. Your ADS sense is what you use for precise shots, and that value you have synced between each game you play.

I don't understand this comment; what about shotgun intensive games like Fortnite? In FN your HF is sometimes your most often used sensitivity, depending on the meta; chpt 2 is all about sniping & ADS, but you definitely would not cheese it. Also I'm a noob, so I'm not being snarky, this is an honest question. Another thing is that some games I play have an extra setting for "look", then HF, ADS, & Scoped?
