Generally, DPI should be around 800 and in game sensitivity at around 7. But go into the practice range and just try to track the moving bots with your mouse. If you're overshooting, tone it down, if you can't keep up, up the sens.
I think movement is going to be the biggest barrier initially. It's really difficult going from analog to WASD. Plus you'll probably mishit keys from time to time until you're adjusted. And just be ready for Widows and Hanzos to actually be good on PC.
It's took me around a month to get used to the controls but the game is far superior on PC so it's definitely worth investing your time.
Set the in-game sensitivity to 4. Set the DPI of the mouse to 1600. (If you don't have a gaming mouse, I recommend DeathAdder Chroma. It has two thumb buttons and a tactile scroll wheel; you can map up to 4 keys.)
Ignore the temptation to use a console controller. Practice with m/kb, it'll feel natural in 1-2 weeks.

I played it on PC around my cousins house yesterday and all I can say is it'll take a lot of practice without any prior PC FPS experience lol. I kept inputting the wrong keys to trigger my abilities lol. I'm probably gonna buy parts for a PC tomorrow so may also be hopping on the PC train
Thanks Ill try both those settings out to see what gels easier. I went into buying a pc knowing its going to take a while for things to start feeling natural so i plan to stick with it.

dont listen to people giving you dpi and sens settings. try it out for yourself and lower it until youre comfortable.

For sensitivity get a ruler and measure on your mouse pad how far you have to push your mouse to do a 360 degree turn. 10 inches is a good starting point to learn.
To get used to it at first pick two spaces on a wall and flick your aim between them. Then to set tracking hold the aim on a fixed point on the wall and move around. If you are always going under or over and feel you are having problems then adjust settings.
The advantage of measuring instead of copying settings is now you have your own "bespoke" measurement that you can remember if you switch hardware or games.

Honestly it's just a lot easier to understand and remember that you are 8 inch 360 player than a 1200 dpi, 6.42 sens player.
But why though?

Just had the worst experience I've ever had in this game. Heck, it was one of if not the worst I've ever had in online multiplayer generally, ever since I hooked up my PS2 back in 2004 or whatever.
So I join an off season competitive ranked match.
For whatever reason, most of my team fail to connect or leave very early on. Three of us connect, the others I don't know what happened to them. The match is 3 vs 6 and decides to start, despite not having enough players to play.
My other team mates leave. We can't win a 3 vs 6, it's not happening. I don't blame them, the match is almost unwinnable and feels pointless, besides it's off season so who cares.
I'm left alone, and decide to play it out for a minute or two. Manage one or two kills but it doesn't matter because there's 6 of them and 1 of me. There's no way I could have any impact here. As we get pushed to the final payload location, I leave the match. The rest of my team did so why not, I don't want to be here, it's not in my interest, it's not fun, and I can't do anything against a 6 man team.
After leaving a 1 vs 6 which shouldn't have even started, I'm told I have a 14 match quitting penalty, despite never quitting a ranked game before. So because the game fucked up, I'm being told that I owe Bungie at least 3 hours of my time, to erase a mistake that they made? Screw that, what a messed up system.
It wasn't even a ranked game. It's off season.

Only now noticed the Physical CE is 46% off on amazon.it (69,98€.
Dunno if it ships out to the rest of EU but I thought I'd mention it in here in case any EU or Italian people might be interested in it.

Is it me or is Numbani much easier to defend than to attack? Often the attackers don't even get the payload moving. I'm pretty new but a lot of matches I've had this has been the case.
You're making it sound like he's dead.
Capturing the control point is the most difficult portion for the attacking team. If the defenders have a very good setup dealing with a frontal attack, I've found it very effective to get the entire team to flank around the far backside of the building on the far left (as facing Point A).
I would strongly recommend setting up on the actual point, making use of the higher ground, and playing it to your advantage. The same applies to both attack and defense.

Blimey! I was shocked when I encounter a 600+ player on PS4 for the first time, but that is someting else.
That can't be healthy.
I've been finding matchmaking on the PS4 arcade to be kind of a pain. Keep getting into matches only to be kicked because there's not enough players. I wonder if the influx of modes has spread people out too much.
Maybe I should just stick to Quick and Comp play, but those easy loot boxes are hard to pass up

I'm sure there's people on reddit or battle.net or wherever defending that
"He's just living his life xD"
no
I doubt the pros even play that much
16 hrs a day for 6 months? holy shit...
That's just alive time though isn't it? Doesn't count loading, queuing, menu time, other shit
After playing her alot, I have to say that her damage is pretty weak compared to all the other DPS heros. She really isnt a damage character. Shes more of a support/utility hero.
Not saying she needs a buff, but she isnt nearly as strong as I thought she was when I first watched all those blizzcon streams.
Nah. Don't hesitate to go lower. Plenty of Ana, McCree etc are slower. Personally, I use 600 DPI and 3.15 in game.
