Arma 3 to XDefiant sensitivity converter
Convert your Arma 3 sensitivity to XDefiant instantly. Same hand motion, perfect muscle memory across both games.
Why Arma 3 sens doesn't match XDefiant
At 0.4 sens on 800 DPI, Arma 3 sweeps 129.89 cm across a full 360°. To reproduce that exact arm motion in XDefiant, you need sens 0.4 — about 1.00× your Arma 3 number. Nothing changed except XDefiant's yaw of 0.022 vs Arma 3's 0.022; the centimeters of mouse travel stay the same.

How to apply the converted sensitivity in XDefiant
Open XDefiant's settings, paste the converted sensitivity into the sens field and keep your 800 DPI if that matches how you play Arma 3. Run a 360° check on a practice map: the mouse sweep should cover roughly 129.89 cm on your pad — the same distance as in Arma 3. Only start tuning if the sweep feels off, never before the 360° check.
Common mistakes when converting Arma 3 to XDefiant
- Copying the sens without matching DPI
A converted Arma 3-to-XDefiant number is tied to the DPI you used during conversion. If your XDefiant mouse profile runs a different DPI, the math no longer holds — use Sens Converter's 'different DPI' toggle instead of eyeballing.
- Trusting eDPI across engines
Matching eDPI between Arma 3 and XDefiant does not give matching turn speed, because their yaws are 0.022 and 0.022. Always compare cm/360° (or in/360°), not eDPI, when swapping games.
- Ignoring scoped and ADS overrides
Arma 3 and XDefiant each apply their own scoped / ADS multiplier on top of the base sensitivity. Converting the base is step one — confirm the per-zoom multiplier in XDefiant separately, otherwise scoped aim will feel wrong even with a perfect hipfire match.
Arma 3 → XDefiant FAQ
Why is my converted XDefiant sens different from my Arma 3 number?+
XDefiant has a yaw of 0.022 compared to Arma 3's 0.022. Their ratio is about 1.00×, so Sens Converter multiplies your Arma 3 sens by that factor to keep cm/360° identical. The raw number looks different, but the arm motion is the same.
Should I keep the same DPI in Arma 3 and XDefiant?+
Yes, when possible. Keeping DPI identical means only the in-game multiplier changes, which is the cleanest switch. If you run different DPI in XDefiant, enable 'different DPI' in the converter and it absorbs the extra math.
How many decimals should I use in XDefiant?+
XDefiant accepts at least 3 decimals; 4-6 is common. Sens Converter outputs enough precision that rounding to 3 decimals keeps the 360° error below one millimetre on a typical 800 DPI setup.
Does FOV affect Arma 3 to XDefiant conversion?+
For the base sensitivity, no — sens is independent of FOV in both engines. If you use a 0% MonitorDistance or similar scaling mode in either game, convert at the FOV you actually run in-game.
