Re: Do NOT release golden magazines without addressing auto aim/controller assist

@Android_Nana Someone made a video about how aim assist isn't what we think it is and they just slapped a gold barrel stabilizer onto a R-301, shot at a dummy, and then called it a day when the bullets went up and over the dummy's head.

The thing is, I tried that with a mouse/keyboard, and with a controller. The recoil on the mouse/keyboard was greater than the controller, specially when trying to maintain the aim on the dummy's head. In other words, if you move the mouse down to counteract the recoil, you have to kind of fight the recoil. While on controller, you have ZERO recoil issues. You can just keep it on the dummy's head. Combind that with strike packs and other controller cheating equipment, and you're basically untouchable.

Just saying this for anyone who goes "cOnTrOlLeR AiM aSsiT isN't ThAt StRoNg!" Which to that person.... uh... yes... yes it is that strong. You don't see the kind of aim beaming in Fortnite, or any other BR games or ones like Call of Duty, now do you? Nope. Only in Apex, because apparently console aim assist on PC is 0.6, vs the 0.4 they would otherwise have.

When cross-play came out, we used to be able to turn it off on PC, but I guess this is only an option for console users now. Why would console users wanna turn off their 0.6 aim assist boost? Most of them don't want to.

Every single update only ever benefits people hacking, cheating, or exploiting the game, and its getting tiresome.

    @Android_NanaI've seen that already. If you read what I said, I mentioned while someone shows it isn't "strong", they only tested it on a firing range dummy, and only shot at the dummy. If they barely tried to control the recoil, they'll find that it doesn't exist.

    Just realized you were only linking it as reference as well. My bad...

    Please don't add gold mags, seems like a crutch.

  • @Cipax People would find a way to stock pile gold mags and then next thing you know, you get insta murdered because someone with like a Volt or something just keeps firing due to not having to reload, that or they'll somehow make care package weapons reloadable, and there be that one person who won't knock it off with the Kraber.
  • @Midnight9746I honestly cannot use a R-301 on controller, its not really the recoil thats the issue its just I can’t get the perfect sensitivity settings to have perfect tracking, and testing on training dummies dosn’t do any justice because in game other players are actually moving vs standing still unless its a newer player who dosn’t know how to strafe yet

    in Ilootgames video he showed something from one of the devs saying gold mags can be toned down if they are too strong on release, he said the gold mag is not an instant reload its for whenever lets say you use a R-99 then switch to the mastiff and then got third partied and went back to the R-99 and you had to reload before you could shoot anything... the gold mag would help with situations like that
