Lower DPI and Sensitivity Benefits in PUBG

A lower DPI such as 400 or 800 comes standard in most competitive shooters. Why may you ask? It is simply because most professional and high-level players prefer using lower sensitivity and lower DPI.

  • By having lower sensitivity players have greater control over their aim.

  • Allows players to use large mouse pads which gives more room for error.

  • Does not rely entirely on wrist movement, takes into account macro and micro-movements of the forearm and wrist together.

  • Enables players to build consistency and build proper muscle memory.

  • Allows you to fine-tune your in-game settings more efficiently.

  • If you’re already adjusted on a low DPI and have been playing for a while you don’t need to adjust it

  • It helps reduce shaky aim

If you’re an enthusiast and truly want to increase your skill in all shooters alike, a lower sensitivity is beneficial for you.

DPI and Sensitivity have always been a hot topic for all competitive shooters, especially PUBG. While certain players have their preferences and setups, what’s most important is your personal preference. Regardless of what others are using or what settings professionals are using, what you feel comfortable with is always the best for you. Everyone has their preferences and you shouldn’t conform to certain settings just because one of the professionals uses them. Remember to use other players’ settings as guidelines if you want to try out new sensitivities, but always remember that you’re the one playing, your sensitivities should match your comfort zone.
