Mouse Acceleration for Call of Duty and Warzone
Use a custom mouse acceleration curve in Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare III and Black Ops 6. Steady aim for long-range fights and fast turns up close, plus CoD sensitivity conversions.
Updated · Ergo Engineering
Call of Duty fights swing between long-range tracking and close-quarters turns. A custom acceleration curve keeps a low sensitivity for long-range shots and gives you more speed when you whip around a corner. AimStation measures both kinds of movement and builds the curve for you.
Does Call of Duty have mouse acceleration?
- Recent Call of Duty games (Modern Warfare III, Warzone, Black Ops 6) use a sensitivity yaw of 0.0066, the same as Overwatch 2.
- CoD has its own ADS sensitivity multiplier settings. AimStation shapes the mouse input, and the game's multipliers apply on top.
- If the game or your mouse software has its own acceleration option, keep it off so only one curve is active.
How to set up a custom acceleration curve for Call of Duty
- Install AimStation. Download it free for Windows 10 or 11, run Setup and restart when it asks. Setup installs the Microsoft-signed mouse driver the curve runs in.
- Turn off other acceleration. Switch off Windows "Enhance pointer precision" and any acceleration in your mouse software or in Call of Duty, so only one curve is active. (How to turn it off.)
- Record while you play. Open AimStation, press Record on the Record tab, and play Call of Duty normally for a few sessions. AimStation measures how fast your slow aim is, how fast your flicks are and how often you make each.
- Tune it in plain language. AimStation builds a curve around your speeds. Adjust slow-aim sensitivity, flick sensitivity and where the speed-up starts, then test it on your mouse before you save.
- Apply it. Apply the curve to your mouse. With AimStation Pro you can set it as Call of Duty's default curve so it switches on by itself when Call of Duty is in front. Ctrl + Alt + F10 turns it off instantly.
Call of Duty tips for a good curve
- Record both long-range fights and close-range ones; the curve should be built from both speeds.
- Keep the slow end at the sensitivity you already know so long-range tracking does not change.
- Use a per-game curve (Pro) so Warzone and a tactical shooter can each have their own.
Call of Duty sensitivity in other games
The same physical turn in other games, at the same DPI (yaw 0.0066). The last column is the mouse travel for a full 360° turn at 800 DPI. For any other value or DPI, use the sensitivity converter.
| CoD | CS2 | Valorant | Apex | OW2 | cm/360 @ 800 DPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 0.9 | 0.283 | 0.9 | 3 | 57.7 cm |
| 4 | 1.2 | 0.377 | 1.2 | 4 | 43.3 cm |
| 5 | 1.5 | 0.471 | 1.5 | 5 | 34.6 cm |
| 6 | 1.8 | 0.566 | 1.8 | 6 | 28.9 cm |
| 7 | 2.1 | 0.66 | 2.1 | 7 | 24.7 cm |
| 8 | 2.4 | 0.754 | 2.4 | 8 | 21.6 cm |
These numbers match your base sensitivity. With an acceleration curve, set the slow end of the curve to the sensitivity you already know, and let the curve add speed only on fast movements.
Call of Duty mouse acceleration FAQ
How do I convert Warzone sensitivity to CS2?
Multiply your Call of Duty sensitivity by 0.3 (0.0066 / 0.022) at the same DPI. For example, 5 in Warzone is 1.5 in CS2.
Is Overwatch 2 sensitivity the same as Call of Duty?
Yes for the base sensitivity: both use a yaw of 0.0066, so the same number at the same DPI gives the same turn.
Can I use AimStation with Ricochet anti-cheat?
AimStation does not read or modify the game and applies its curve through a Microsoft-signed driver. We cannot speak for Activision, so follow their rules and use Ctrl + Alt + F10 to switch to 1:1 whenever needed.
