Shroud's Mouse Settings
Shroud's mouse settings are nothing special really. His normal sensitivity is set to 3.0, with his Aim Down Sight sensitivity being set between 1.0 - 2.0. Additionally, his DPI is usually set within the 400 - 450 range, which is the usual for competitive gaming.
Mouse Setting | Value |
---|---|
Normal Sensitivity | 3.0 |
Aim Down Sight Sensitivity | 1.0 - 2.0 |
DPI | 400 - 450 |
3.0 is often considered the best mouse sensitivity for Apex, as it feels "just right" for almost every occasion. You also have to consider the fact that Shroud is currently one of the best Apex Legends streamers on the planet, with thousands of hours invested into the game. It's actually quite common for Apex Predator-ranked players to set their sensitivity lower than usual, as it exponentially helps with their aim.
Shroud's Video Settings
Shroud has a beastly gaming PC. I'll admit it, it kinda makes me envious. Because he has such a beastly PC, he doesn't really have to worry about his video settings too much. Usually, Shroud has everything turned to the max. If you have a weaker PC and want to improve your FPS in Apex, you probably shouldn't be doing the same thing that Shroud is doing.
What is unique however is his FOV setting, which Shroud keeps at 90. This is particularly strange to me, as he has quite a big gaming monitor, 2560 x 1440 to be exact. On such a big monitor, 90 FOV feels very zoomed in. However, on the plus side. If you have your FOV set to low on such a big monitor, you're more easily able to distinguish far-away targets, which is a big advantage.
