AA needs to be disabled on PC as you can easily make it think you are using a controller instead of a mouse with the help of a XIM module.This is abused in Fortnite and of course in Apex.If Respawn really cares about the cheating problem in Apex, they will remove AA for PC. If not... You know what it means.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5MSh6BUufs&feature=youtu.be

What's all the arguing about?OP provided a link that clearly demonstrates that:a) Aim assist exists on PC, when the game thinks you're using a controller.b) You can trick the game into thinking you have a controller, when you're actually playing with K&M.c) Aim assist both provides soft target tracking, and drastically reduces recoil.The video even describes precisely what you need to do to reproduce it.

i@radkal_0If there is aim assist for controllers it needs to stay that wayPeople are going to hack regardless so no point in making it harder for players like myself who genuinely use controller on pc just because some pathetic loser is abusing it for aim assist with mouse/keyboardi think EA needs to start doing hardware Banns not IP or ACC because its so easy to use a VPN or just make a new account and keep doing it... if you bann there console or pc it gets more expensive to replaceSideNote: i just changed my sensitvity settings about 2 weeks ago and I just so happened to put my look sensitivity on a 6 and most of my optics on a 4 but the 2x on a 5 so It kinda explains why Ive been doing slightly better if aim assist is truely present on a 6 as the video claims I just assummed it was because I had faster movement horizontally so I could actually track running players easier compared to the 4 I used to use

True Radkal have reason , AA has to be removed until Respawn finds a solution

@pastaclown Your defensive replies makes me come to three different possible conclusions:1. You got hit by the reality hammer realizing that your aim is not natural (no that good boy), as you though there was no aim assist.2. You try to discredit a perfectly legit post as you are one of those MOUSE&AA exploiters getting exposed.3. You are just dumb.

@pastaclown wrote:@TheJumpingJawa So you have to trick the game into thinking you're playing on an entirely different platform where aim assist is by default on.That's not at all what either I said, nor what the OP's linked video said.Getting aim assist on PC is as simple as:1) Plug a controller into your PC.2) In-game, set controller sensitivity to 6 or 7.That hardly constitutes 'tricking the game into thinking you're on an entirely different platform"; Apex on PC has always supported both M&K, and controllers.The issue is certainly made worse by the XIM spoofer exploit, allowing the use of K&M while still having aim assist active.However, giving aim assist to PC players when using a controller is highly questionable to begin with.There's enough cheating in Apex already; we don't need built-in cheats to muddy the water still further.

@radkal_0I play with controller on pc and can verify there is no aim assist on pc unless it was added in one of the more recent patches

I think it should be added to PC since the games are cross platform why should I have to play against console players with aim assist and PC players with superior aim with mouse/keyboard just because I prefer to play with a controller
you can’t blame aim botting and wall hacks and everything else on aim assist for controllers people are going to hack no matter what if they are banned they wlll just make a smurf even if there is aim assist as the video claims players will still hack regardless so why remove it if everyones going to hack anyways your just hurting legit players who use controller like myself and not the hackers themselves and wont the guy in the video just get banned for using the module in the video?

Your reply makes no sense. I wonder in what cave you've been living these last (10?) months. But aim assist has always been in apex for controllers and if I understand correctly you can not disable it (do you even play that game xD).
I don't know where you got that idea that I blame everything on aim assist. Please try not to put words in other peoples mouths.
AA is an other way for dishonest M&K gamers to take advantage without getting detected. Disabling it will remove the problem, witch will give Respawn more time to deal with bots.
As you said, there is a huge cheating problem already so why give tools incorporated in-game? I am all for controller AA if they can detect that its actually a controller connected and not a mouse.

How many PC gamers play Apex with controller? 0,5% ? I have no idea but that idea seems very stupid, even with AA enabled. Just my opinion.

i think EA needs to start doing hardware Banns not IP or ACC because its so easy to use a VPN or just make a new account and keep doing it... if you bann there console or pc it gets more expensive to replace
SideNote: i just changed my sensitvity settings about 2 weeks ago and I just so happened to put my look sensitivity on a 6 and most of my optics on a 4 but the 2x on a 5 so It kinda explains why Ive been doing slightly better if aim assist is truely present on a 6 as the video claims I just assummed it was because I had faster movement horizontally so I could actually track running players easier compared to the 4 I used to use

@radkal_0 I just want to point out, in 780 hours of playing Apex I don't recall ever turning on or off and option for aim assist. I've gone through my settings, and there is no option for aim assist.
The guy is playing on console as well, if you watch his other videos, all of their "interact" prompts (reload, picking up ammo, boxes, etc. etc.) are all done with console buttons. Even in the video you linked, it clearly shows that he's holding the "Square" button on PS to drop his P2020 for a different weapon. The guy is playing on console using a mouse and keyboard, and only console has aim assist.

@pastaclown That makes alot more sence tbh because I know for a fact there is no aim assist toggle button on pc so just assumed there wasn’t any also there appears to be none in game because im usually way off my target lmao

The problem is that its much easier and relatively risk free to use AA with mouse than buy a hack and risk getting banned. XIM module usage is all over cheat websites.
Respawn does permanent hardware bans. But lots of tutorials on how to bypass them without buying new components.
I bet there are more AA mouse users than controller users in apex PC.

@pastaclown He is using a spoofer to hide the fact that he is on K&M. Game detects a pad thus shows pad icons...
Edit:
And if you still don't believe it, check his graphics. They are on the lowest or close to the lowest settings on PC.
Consoles do not have those video settings and can not be lowered.

@radkal_0 well hey, if you wanna come up with elaborate reasons as to why he's on PC and not console (despite a PC player literally telling you there's no aim assist option) then by all means, keep living in your fantasy world.
