PUBG Mobile Sensitivity Settings The Ultimate Guide for Smoother Aim & Control
PUBG Mobile is not just a survival and looting game it's a game of control, reflexes, and accuracy

PUBG Mobile is not just a survival and looting game — it's a game of control, reflexes, and accuracy. Perhaps the most underutilized yet most important aspect of game play is your sensitivity setting. Whether you are having recoil, slow aim, or rocky movement, adjusting your sensitivity can be all that separates your bad game from a great one.
In this ultimate guide, we will dissect each of the most important settings - from Camera Sensitivity to ADS Sensitivity and Gyroscope Settings - and assist you in crafting the ideal configuration for improved aim, recoil handling, and quicker reaction time.
Why Sensitivity Settings Are Important
Players pay attention to their gun, tactics, or appearance - but are neglecting the way their screen reacts to their fingers or device movement. Sensitivity settings determine:
- How quickly your screen scrolls when you swipe
- How fast your crosshair snaps to the enemy
- How well you can manage recoil while firing
- How well you can smoothly follow enemies
Getting these in order means better aim, less spray, and more Chicken Dinners eventually.
Camera Sensitivity (Free Look)
Camera Sensitivity determines how fast your camera moves while you're not firing — just scanning about or reconing. It's helpful for enemy spotting, looting, or area scanning.
Recommended Camera Sensitivity:
View Sensitivity
3rd Person Camera (Free Look) 100–120%
1st Person Camera (Free Look) 100–120%
Camera (Parachuting, General) 90–110%
Tip: If your screen won't turn that fast, increase this value. If it's stuttery, decrease slightly.
Camera Sensitivity (No Scope + Scope-in View)
This affects your target before firing. When you swipe to aim at something, this determines the speed and precision of the camera.
Recommended Settings:
Scope Type Sensitivity
3rd Person (No Scope) 120–130%
1st Person (No Scope) 100–120%
Red Dot, Holographic 50–60%
2x Scope 35–45%
3x Scope 25–35%
4x Scope 20–30%
6x Scope 15–20%
8x Scope 10–15%
Tip: Higher scopes require lower sensitivity for greater precision. Start high and descend step by step.
ADS Sensitivity (Aim Down Sight)
ADS Sensitivity when you're firing while aiming. It helps with recoil control while you keep your focus on the target.
Recommended ADS Sensitivity:
Scope Typet Sensitivity
3rd Person (No Scope) When aiming 120–130%
1st Person (No Scope) When aiming 100–120%
Red Dot, Holographic 50–60%
2x Scope 35–45%
3x Scope 30–40%
4x Scope 20–30%
6x Scope 15–20%
8x Scope 10–15%
Tip: ADS has a crucial role in recoil control. Lower ADS gradually if your spray becomes uncontrollable.
Gyroscope Sensitivity
If you're playing with gyroscope on, you tilt your phone to shoot or control recoil. Gyro players have faster reflexes and more precise movement — but it takes some calibration.
Recommended Gyroscope Sensitivity:
Scope Type Sensitivity
3rd Person (No Scope) 300–400%
1st Person (No Scope) 300–400%
Red Dot, Holographic 300–400%
2x Scope 300–400%
3x Scope 200–250%
4x Scope 180–220%
6x Scope 100–150%
8x Scope 50–100%
Tip: Start high and reduce until your movement feels natural. Gyro is ideal for pro-level recoil management.
How to Test and Adjust Your Sensitivity
- Go to Training Ground: Test spray patterns with all scopes.
- Practice in TDM or Arena Mode: Real combat will test your reflexes.
- Adjust in Small Increments: Don't attempt to change from 100% to 200% all at once.
- Track Your Comfort: If you're feeling overpowered or slow, adjust accordingly.
- Stick with One Setup: Once comfortable, keep practicing so you build muscle memory.
Best Settings for Non-Gyroscope Players
If you turn off the gyroscope, your control is entirely dependent on Camera + ADS settings. Try these settings together:
- Camera Sensitivity: Increased for No Scope and Red Dot
- ADS Sensitivity: Slightly lower to control recoil
- Use Thumb + Finger combination for faster aim
Tip: You can still master it without gyro — just needs more screen control.
Pro Tips for Better Aim & Recoil Control
- Use Crouch + Scope + Spray for stability.
- Use smooth finger motion instead of jerk sweeps.
- Use custom HUD layout for faster response (move fire button in).
- Practice tracking moving targets in training ground.
- Don't copy pro settings blindly — every device is different.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Changing sensitivity too often
- Blindly copying YouTube settings
- Forgetting training ground
- One-finger control
- Leaving gyro on but at 0% (useless)
Final Thoughts
Getting the proper sensitivity settings in PUBG Mobile can completely transform your experience. You could be a novice or a veteran, but whether your screen responds accurately to touch or gyroscope input immediately affects your aim, recoil control, and response. Perhaps some users will find the standard settings sufficient, but to truly take it to the next level, you must tweak.
There's no ideal one-size-fits-all configuration — your optimal setup is based on your device, play style, and personal preference. That's why training mode testing is so crucial. Experiment with various values, try them out in actual games, and incrementally develop your own configuration that feels natural and responsive.
Once you find the sweet spot, maintain it and play regularly. Continuously changing settings will only hinder you by disrupting muscle memory. Eventually, your reflexes and accuracy will come naturally.
In the end, sensitivity setting mastery isn't a matter of numbers — it's about having a better sense of control in your game. And more control means more kills, more wins, and more fun on the battlefield
