How the conversion works
Both games are pinned to the same physical turn distance — your cm/360. We take your Apex Legends sensitivity, compute the cm/360 it produces, then solve for the Overwatch 2 sensitivity that reproduces it. DPI cancels out for standard scales, so the converted number is the same whether you play at 400, 800 or 1600 DPI.
For example, Apex Legends 2.5 works out to about 20.8 cm/360 — a high aim — which is Overwatch 2 8.333. Plug your real DPI into the full calculator for an exact figure plus eDPI and your aim band.
