Could you please separate players using aim assist from normal players? I don't care about consoles, i don't care about controllers, there should be an option for EVERYONE in the game for aim assist ON / OFF. If you turn that ON you should only be able to play against other people who have it turned ON. And vice versa, if you turn it OFF, you would not be matched with players using aim assist.I don't know in what kind of schizophrenic reality this is, but in a competitive game, by the spirit of fair play, putting together aim-assist players, with normal players should not exists. Someone please explain me, how is it fair, to allow certain people in certain scenarios to completely ignore recoil, while the other faction of your community has to deal with recoil control, recoil patterns. How come that you "balanced" Havoc and Flatline with increased horizontal recoil, while also have a feature for some players to completely ignore it during fights, and deliver perfect burst?!Did you know that people on PC using reWASD and other 3rd-party softwares to remap their controls as they would play with a controller, just to exploit aim-assist while using mouse and keyboard? Can't you see how ridiculous the whole situation is? Hey, i wanna play Apex with a steering wheel... can i get an option where i don't even need to aim vertically?Please, EA / Respawn tell me at least you are aware of the situation and working on solution! So maybe we can get back in Season 8 and find a competitive FPS game...

I use controller & just want an option to turn off Aim Assist. I like the advance controller settings, and I would like to turn off the Aim Assist. I also Play other shooters with good controller settings with Aim Assist off, for consoles & PC. And I don't agree with any of the previous comments for the most part. I understand that consoles has a stronger Aim Assist due to the limitations of 30fps, which delay in visual information then responding. Now that consoles can reach +60fps, I can see Aim Assist being weaken, as Aim Assist on PC is weaker than console, for consoles that can reach those frames per second. The advance controller settings are probably not use that much by casual controller players. If there will be a New Gen Console version of Apex, maybe the changes will be there.Controller players have several limitations, the inability to strafe while looting, the delay when picking up items, and the inability to map every button or unmap undesired buttons. I play against both console & PC players, and I don't complain about Aim Assist because I got better at playing against them. I still report cheaters, and squads working as teams.

How about making it so that aim assist will only work on players who are also using aim assist if you're not using aim assist then assist should'nt work on you its only fair.

@-R-RiCE41They won't be doing anything the game is dying. Every other game that has forced console and pc players to play each other has done it because of population drop. By leaving crossplatform on Respawn is basically admitting that their game is on the verge of being dead! Simple as that. There is no other reason to mix the two types of input device/gaming hardware.I have quit/deleted the game from my machine and am looking for another game. Can't stand valorant. I just hang out here because now I find I have time on my hands.This game is great when it works but this latest season is just terrible.- The map is bad! 3rd partyville.- They let steam have access to the game. It is now hacker central. Also another indication of the game dying.- Forcing PC M&K players to play with console kiddies and controller pc players. Aim assist in this game is stronger than any other game being played at the moment.-Sound is worse than it has ever been.- Respawn letting hackers take over their servers. My theory is that with all the console kiddies 9 railing pc players with r99 and aimbot err I mean aimassist!! the PC players are retaliating by installing cheats and figuring if they get caught who cares they want to quit anyway.My advice is to look for a new game.

it's not just the lack of recoil when it is tweaked too high.Itis the reaction time of a cpu to that of a human.And if you artificially try to limit that you will be making it unfair for some by picking some random number.

> Also where your team? I notice you're just going 1 on 1, on a team base game.That, my friend, is a question You should ask whoever is responsible for the Matchmaking. I usually got teammates below level 50 against full pre-made high-tier players (like You see in the pictures). So basically I am a cannon fodder for them.

I was going through settings and I also wanted to ask, what is "Target Compensation" specifically? Is this setting just another phrase for Aim Assist?

@Darkstreme Yeah, that is aim assist in this game

@audiofilomx Thanks! I never notice it. But I was tweaking my settings and wasn't quite sure what it was. I guess my request is unnecessary. Thanks RE!

@VaultTheHavoc Why? I'm not sure of his experience against Aim Assist but if PC players want it removed from PC I'm fine with it.

This is how fight against Aim-assisted players look like:
Another example (I have a video of this player just running and gunning with 301 like it was nothing, aim snapped to target and stick with it till it's downed):
Here is an example of how fights look like when fighting not aim-assisted player:
Burst weapon is every weapon when using Aim-assist. Also there is literally no vertical recoil.

@PsyhiX69 Aim Assist doesn't snap, it slow down when cross hair is near target. Aim Assist doesn't remove recoil. With the R301, I can just shoot it like a semi-automatic to reset the recoil pattern & keep the recoil down. When lagging, I can do the same method to register more of my shots.

I'm playing on PC.
I currently have the Aim Assist off, and when I'm calm or have the opportunity for primitive strike, I can steady my Aim. When I'm over excited I can over shoot my Aim, but I'm quick enough to acquire target. With self-control my Aim is still good. But with out Aim Assist I'm better with Semi-Autos.

Also where your team? I notice you're just going 1 on 1, on a team base game.
