Aim Assist
Haven't played the game for a while but with sadness I can see that the Aim Assist is still there, ruining the game to all M&K players. Not saying that you should remove it but in the way it is, it's...

im not gonna bother anymore with ppl like u. don't knock it till you've tried it plain and simple
Just for some clarity here with aim assist. Aim assist will not snap to players. Not in apex. The controller user has to line you up before the system they use will start assisting them. So Apex uses 2 types of aim assist. 1 being guided aim which as it sounds it helps guide your cursor once you point at a user. 2 being slow down aim assist which means once locked on it will help slow down the cursor to help keep control. So the aim assist snaps to people is incorrect. The controller user must line up their shot before things start happening. They can easily exit this aim assist system over correcting it will not keep the cursor on someone if they are not attempting to go with the direction of a player. (A lot of games use these specific aim assist mechanics it is just not apex a majority of fps do.)
While I wish we had our opt-out button myself for me to have the choice it is something we just will have to live with. Is it as bad as some think? Not really. Is it annoying? Sometimes. The aim assist values also were never in place to compensate another platform they have been the same set value for some time now. Fact is compared to some of our machines they are playing on potato in terms of fps and such compared to our advanced machines.
While I know aim assist doesn't let people lock onto targets and whatnot, I do want the option to opt out of crossplay, because so many of my games are filled with strikepack console players. 9 times out of 10, a console player is using some sort of mod, like strikepacks. I'm running into console players who don't even aim at you, and their bullets curve to hit, or you go behind cover, and they can still hit you. Sure PC players can sometimes still hit you behind cover, but most of the time, its a console player who's doing it. I just had a game where we just landed, I picked up golden armor, and a console Bloodhound just picked up a Wingman, and without having to even aim, they were just pulling the trigger, and their strikepack or whatever they were using guided the Wingman to where I was, no matter where I went, what I hid behind, etc. I managed to shield up once, and looking at the death recap, it was like 2 body shots, 1 head shot, 2 body shots, from the Wingman, and the guy was firing it like it was a P2020 for 3 of the shots, with the other 2 hitting me behind cover.
I'm getting sick and tired of cheaters, smurphs, and non-legit console players, and while the game still had an issue pre-crossplay, it was nowhere near this bad when we weren't forced into the same lobby. Now its just, everytime you see a PC player, with two of them on console, you pretty much have to assume they're all voice chatting with their cheats, strikepacks, xim, etc. all enabled. Most of the time, its a PC player cheating, with the consoles playing dumb until the PC player gets knocked, and then the strikepack gets switched on, sometimes its the console players cheating from the start, with the PC player being the one to switch it on when they get knocked, and very rarely, its a legit squad that isn't using any kind of modifications or cheats.
Also, cross-play and aim assist isn't exactly to blame, its more or less the players who abuse it and go unchecked. I just wish EA/Respawn cared enough to put in a little more effort or something. Afterall, Hideouts can't be the soul person to deal with the cheaters.
