Currently PC controllers users get .4 and consoles get .6 aim assist in Apex Legends. If a PC player invites a console player into a PC lobby, the console player still gets the .6 aim assist in PC lobbies.I think console player's aim assist should lower to .4 while in PC servers.So a console player using Seer on console invited into PC lobbies is looked at by me as radar hacks with .6 aimbot. I say radar hacks as Seer is basically just that (i'm not implying consoles are physically cheating).

Is someone going to tell him or should I???

Besides that, the ability to disable cross-play on console is just a pseudo-option. You are not going to find games if you turn it off. And I mean that literally.

Console aim assist isn't what you think it is. If you see a console cheater, it's someone using strike packs, xim, scripts, etc.For example, xim tricks the console into thinking a mouse and keyboard is a controller. Combine that with the given aim assist, and one could call it broken.

This game is suppose to be crossplay ... it is and it is not. PC accounts PUG with other PC accounts. I have yet to see any console players (other than my friends) in a PUG with me.Consoles are not using hacks to the best of my knowledge. PC's might be using scripts and other cheats, if they are, they are only cheating themselves of an honest win. If you are a PC player able to match with console, I would love to know how you are doing that trick yourself?

@TheIceDragon96 You might think you know what I'm talking about in my post, but I'm certain you don't. Please describe what you think my post is about, so I can better judge your reply.

Cross-play does in fact work on PC, but a PC player has to invite a console player into a PC lobby. You can tell someone's device with the little icon next to the name, a PC case looking icon is of course someone on PC, a controller represents someone playing on a console.

Again, PC players have to invite a console player to join into PC lobbies, cross-play doesn't happen automatically like console cross-play.

Also, my discussion is not about console players cheating and I had to read my post to see how others would even interrupt that.

I started off my topic by saying, " Just had a game where a console player using seer just beamed everything. Radar hacks, plus extra aim assist." meaning Seer users are direct radar hacks and the extra aim assist is given to console players even in PC lobbies.

It was given to consoles yes, but consoles don't have good means at mass community like the PC gaming community does. If PC was given the option to disable cross-play, most PC gamers would know about it and change it to their own personal liking.

It's why PC wasn't giving the option in the first place because Respawn knew most PC players would disable it.

Consoles they didn't care about because it's set at default, plus it's quite hard to find on Xbox (privacy settings). Most Nintendo switch users disable cross-play and it works just fine.

I know first hand what console aim assist feels like compared to PC, I've played both. PC gets .4 and consoles get .6. That .2 of a difference might not sound like a lot, but it is. It's like a walking magnet compared to PCs.

Wasn't there an update not too long ago that made console aim assist like the PC, and hundreds of thousands of console players went crazy?

If aim assist topics interest you, watch that first video. It goes deep into some topics, most don't. Like the fact that aim assist is just people stuck on controllers, and don't want their product to become useless, so they say aim assist doesn't do that much or speak up when someone blasts it.

Also, my topic was't necessary about aim assist directly, but more on consoles connecting to PC servers and causing networking issues. So things like latency compensation, ping, Ddos stuff like that.

@Popa2capsthe guy on the video is misleading he says : "this is what aim assist does at its full potency of 1.0, it is safe to assume it does the same at lower value"

No it is not safe to say it does the same! at 0.6 the crosshair never track a target and is never on target if that would be the case I would never need to aim and would have great accuracy, the opposite is true I have thousands of hours of play and still have bad aim compared to a pc player.

@Popa2caps Been playing the equivalent of 1 season on PC... I don't recall ever have fought console players. IF they do they are at a disavantage... they get beamed by better accuracy mouse players this is exactly how we feel playing PC and 99% of console players don't want to play in PC lobbies because they get wrecked and beamed by mousers. That is the truth. Mouse overpowered.
