Niclas “Pengu” Mouritzen was born October 7, 1997 and is currently retired from professional Rainbow Six. He is focusing on content creation at the moment and can regularly be seen streaming on Twitch.tv. He also has a successful YouTube channel.

What are Pengu's Rainbow Six Siege settings?

Pengu plays at 1600 DPI with a sensitivity of 2 on a 0.02 multiplier — an eDPI of 64, at the very low end of the pro field. He retired from competitive play in March 2021 and now works as a caster, so these are the settings from the end of his playing career rather than live values.

The settings tell their own story: 64 eDPI is a very low, control-first setup. Pengu won as an IGL who called from the middle of fights, and his aim was built for consistency and crosshair discipline rather than flick speed.

◈

How Pengu plays

Pengu played the game as an in-game leader who happened to be elite individually — he called from inside the fight rather than from the back of the map. His operator pool (Hibana, Smoke, Blackbeard, Montagne) reflects a player who filled whatever the round needed, and his reputation rests on decision quality as much as on aim.

IGL who took the duels
Most in-game leaders trade mechanical edge for map awareness. Pengu did not: he called the round and still won his share of the first contacts, which is the rarest combination in Siege.
Operator pool as a weapon
Hibana, Smoke, Blackbeard, Montagne — hard breach, area denial, shield play and Montagne duty. That range let G2 draft around him instead of for him.
The control-first setup
64 eDPI at 1600 DPI is a low, precision-biased configuration. It fits an IGL's job description: predictable crosshair travel and no wasted movement while you are also reading the round.
