I understand they have a differnet FOV. But you need to give us the option to change that. I want the same cm/360 on a Handgun and an Assault Rifle. Give us more sliders or at least let us fix the issue in the config file.What should be happening instead? ADS should be the same on all Guns, or give us the option to change that.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Measure how many cm it takes for you to do a 360 with an assault rife. Do the same with a Handgun. The length is different!

Hey @EA_Blueberry , I've been enjoying Apex a ton so far, but I agree with @OceanSpecimen that this should be considered a bug, not an opinion on gameplay mechanics. Based on guns and scopes, ADS sensitivity varies wildly. This makes it very difficult to maintain consistent aim and is probably the most frustrating part about Apex that I've experienced. I play on a low sensitivity as is, so when I get a 2x scope or higher it gets incredibly difficult to aim. I would love the ability to make ADS consistent across all guns, or even better, the ability to simply 1:1 my regular sensitivity to ADS.I think having the option to have scope-specific sensitivity is fine, as players have different preferences (similar to PUBG) but the word option is key here. To put it simply, it feels like my ability to learn and get better in a mechanical sense (pulling down spray, flicking, tracking, overall aiming) has been largely impeded because there is a lack of consistency between guns and scopes. It has definitely killed my motivation to play and get better at the game because there is no way for me to develop consistently. I have to relearn the muscle memory every time I switch guns or scopes. I've continued to play games like PUBG and CS:GO more where my skills are fully transferable and I can simultaneously improve at other games.I have several friends who have hesitated to continue playing Apex for these exact reasons, and I imagine people like @OceanSpecimen feel the same way.I hope that you take the time to read this and pass it along to the gameplay team, and I'd also like you guys to know that despite my few frustrations, you've done a fantastic job on the release of Apex. I would love to see this game stick around and continue to grow, but in order to do that I truly believe that your team should consider these types of changes going forward- especially if you want to appeal to the competitive playerbase of other major FPS titles. Thanks for reading, I'll be looking forward to a reply!

This should be considered a bug, why wouldn’t the ads be 1:1? If you want the best experience for all players this needs to be fixed and I think most of the community would agree. Plus having different ads sense as a “game mechanic” makes the game super inconsistent and therefore not as much fun to play. Sounds more like an excuse for poor game design, I’m not trying to be a *, I’m just being blunt, this needs to be fixed please.

Please fix this issue because most competitive games have sensitivity that is 1:1 between zoom sizes and a constant sensitivity is necessary to build muscle memory. If the game is ever to have a pro scene this is 100% needed.

Been struggling with this since the game first came out. Thought at first it was inconsistant mouse lag, as the mouse would feel really jagged some rounds. But today I picked up a longbow right after dropping and could not for the life of me hit anything with the ironsights. Tested a few sights and noticed the ADS sens was way off. Please fix this. Apex is the first shooter I'm really struggeling with, unless I pick up the same weapon and use the same sight every round.Edit: Read somewhere that the ADS ratio should be closer to 1.2 in order to keep things consistant, but that does not help with the sights being different as well, adding even more inconsistancy.

I ADS alot, even mid-close range with AR and SMG's, i always wondered why is it so hard for me to track people with my aim in Apex Legends, compared to other games. I do notice the ADS difference when i empty my primary weapon's magazine and switch to the secondary, that's when i have trouble connecting the shots and i tend to overaim, not being able to finish a near death target. My FOV setting is 100. Mouse DPI is 500 and in-game sensitivity is 1.8. I'm no Shroud or any pro, but i was always good at FPS games because they're my favourite genre, but i feel gunfights in Apex are never in my favor and it feels like almost every player i face has better gun skills than me. I don't believe it, something else might be wrong, it can't be this way, i should have been used to gunfights til now as i played since launch. I'm not throwing myself into gunfights with half HP or anything, not picking fights that i know i am at a disadvantage, like position or equipment/weapon, i always had great situational awareness, but the gunfights in this game feel so sluggish for me, aiming feels sluggish, i never had so much trouble aiming, especially in a FPS game. I'm still trying to find out why and how to improve on it or if it's just something that doesn't tick for me. My hardware is good, no problems on that end at all.

Remember reading something similar @A1thir. Where the weapons were grouped up by ads ratio. And I think your calculations are correct.

Doesn't really matter unless you pick up the weapons with the same ratio tho. Also an option to force chosen Fov when using ADS is missing. So building muscle memory with all the different weapons scattered around is very difficult.

I really don't mind having a lower sens sniper with a 6x.
Hell, I can even understand why some would like the higher sens with a low ads to loot more efficiently. But changing to a secondary mid fight and have such sensitivity discrepancy has to be an development oversight.

Think CoD uses the same formula for sensitivity, but there you pick your weapon before the match and usually stick to it. In Apex you're kinda forced to use whatever you find.

Destiny has this too, but there I had the option to use the same weapon or something simular in my loadout.
Ive had a hell of a time adjusting to all the diffrent senses and then there are the scopes, I now try to stick to the 1x scopes and try to switch guns as soon as possible to something I always used, which is not always an option in a BR.
Hilarity with my aim ensues when I pick up an Re-45 after playing a round with a R301

I was going to say universal soldier aiming but that makes your ads speed and un ads speed the same. Maybe there's a way they can do it for just the ads speed across all guns.

Please please please add individual sensitivity settings for the different scopes! I would love to play the game. But it feels so off compared to my usual settings and I can only set it right for one magnification.

I also discovered there is a 3rd sens in the game.

The one you use in the menu (which aint so bad) but the same sens is used if you browse the lootboxes of enemies. With low dpi you get slowed down terribly which can be gamebreaking... ☹️ Any suggestions?

@OceanSpecimen I really enjoy apex legends and it is the only game I actually enjoy to play but only if i get a 1x scope so I have the same sensitivity that im used to. If you Pickup a gun on the ground with its default scope it will not have a 1:1 sensitivity and you cant change it at all without chaning your dpi.
