Re: Clearing up some misleading news

There is only one true way to end the whining over this issue. Some have screamed for it, others don't want it. 

PC plays against PC.

Console plays against Console.

And there is the end to the huge controversial console AA vs PC. 

Now if only bringing the great toilet paper roll debate to an end, could be as easy. 

: ) 

@BigMacAttack8u  when the option to disable aim assist became available I turned it off shortly after, and honestly aiming felt so much smoother once I adjusted to it.

Now I'm not saying AA isn't helpful by any means....I just found it a heavy hindrance In certain scenarios....and honestly I just find it a more genuine gaming experience in apex. We're all using controllers on apex(console) so I mean really we shouldn't need it per say. At least that's my opinion anyway.

I guess pc is a trickier topic but the bottom line is movement beats AA and there's no getting around that fact lol.

@pandareno1999There are definitely players who really rely on aim assist to play, especially in CQC. If they decide to nerf it, you'll definitely see those who constantly ADS even in CQC become a bit more dominate at the game.

Ok, so Aim Assist does not apply to hipfire? Then what are the laser sights for?

I admit to not knowing a ton about the various types of AA (or even how to turn it off an on in Apex yet) but at least with Destiny 2 I notice I hit hipfire shots from AA that would have missed more than when aiming. Based on everyone I see seeming to shoot hipfire in the Crucible, I thought it applied to hipfire only (and aiming, was, well, manual aiming).

My problem in FPS games is that as in real life, I ALWAYS AIM MY GUN. Using real guns for 25+ years has drilled into my head that you, "AIM, you DO NOT HIPFIRE, and you know what your target is and why lies beyond it." As a result, I keep aiming all the time even in close range and usually get wrecked. If I can keep enemies at "marksman" ranges I can usually hit.

So, does aim assist apply to hipfire or aiming in Apex? Maybe that's why I keep getting wrecked is cause I aim like I would any real gun...

@Kyldenar From what I can picture from your description, you're seeing players using their strafe and crouch to avoid taking unnecessary damage. Or you might just be seeing them spam crouch (when you have an eye for it, you can tell from the nature of the crouch spam whether players are probably cheating using Cronus or similar, which have macros for doing this rapidly while maintaining aim).  Players don't rapidly switch from ADS to hipfire repeatedly. They just flash the ADS at the beginning of the burst.  They sometimes might then ADS once or twice again while firing, usually to slow down their reticle to adjust their aim.

What I am hearing is that I will never be good at this game because the guns follow no real laws of physics, because in the real world you can't hit crap moving like that.

And that people cheat.

@Kyldenar Do you play on console or PC? Because I've found that on console, the rotational aim assist pretty much negates all of the movement that I've practiced for avoiding damage when without cover.  Between AA and just shooting at their midsection, t's not too hard to hit the people who are very rapidly crouch spamming, and gives me a nice excuse for throwing out a Silver holo spray right after!
