This is a Gears of War 3 sensitivity settings guide that explains the importance of each of the three different types of sensitivity settings on Gears of War 3. The Look sensitivity controls general movement, turning speed, and affects wall bouncing, non L-triggered aiming, and certain aspects of strafing. Target Sensitivity affects turning speed when pressing and holding down the L-Trigger and heavily influences support players and rifle users. Zoom sensitivity only affects 5 weapons, the most notable being the Longshot Sniper Rifle.

• Look Sensitivity: Low, Medium, High

• Look Sensitivity: Low, Medium, High
• Target Sensitivity: Low, Medium, High
• Zoom Sensitivity: Low, Medium, High

• Look Sensitivity: 1 – 20
• Target Sensitivity: 1 – 20
• Zoom Sensitivity: 1 – 20

By “classifying settings,” we refer to identifying a type of player or playstyle based on the settings. The fact that there are now more options along each slider allows for players to fine-tune their settings to something far more personalized. The classification for sensitivity settings is as follows:

20 – 17 (Very, Very High)
16 – 13 (Very High)
12 – 10 (High)
10 – 8 (Medium)
7 – 5 (Low)
6 – 4 (Very, Low)
3 – 0 (Very, Very Low)

Look: Used when hip firing, general movement, and wall bouncing.
Target: Used whenever the sights are held down. “L Trigger” in default control scheme.
Zoom: Used as the secondary zoom function on the Hammerburst, Snub Pistol, Boltok Pistol, Gorgon Pistol Longshot Sniper, and One Shot Sniper.
