Re: Apex@NintendoSwitch PC-Mode+GyroConfig

I have to say as a Nintendo switch player myself, there is nothing at all broken about playing on Nintendo Switch, even though the gyroscope cuts the recoil down similar to using a mouse on a PC.

To my knowledge Nintendo Switch has the aim assist off because of the gyro controller.  I watched a YouTube video that shows how to turn aim assist on or off and it isn't present on switch, only ps or Xbox, so since you don't have to deal with as much recoil on switch I don't believe it has aim assist.

That said, compared to the other versions of the game (my brother plays on ps5) our version has bad graphics, bad field of view, some enemies or scenic features do not render at all, and you almost always get downed by an invisible enemy this season because it didn't render and you didn't see it there.  I've had clubbers ask me why I didn't fire when I had a clear shot and I told them I didn't see the enemy.

That said, it's still worth playing since you don't always have issues, but you are at an extreme handicap when playing on switch, and the gyroscope making play a little easier makes the game at least still playable since you can manage recoil better.  Playing on switch Lite makes the handicap even worse.  If it weren't for the good gyro aim on switch and if I still had to use the stick for aim and recoil like when I first started I'd have probably Uninstalled the game by now.

I also believe they nerfed switch for season 19 for this very reason by lowering health since I die within 3 shots even with gold armor this season.  (I got 5 kill games last season and this season its rare to get any kills)  However, if they handicap switch players further by tampering with the gyro I know I couldn't play any more.
