@BenchwarmerbrewAim assist is only really present in close range and alittle beyond that but not much, if your being laserred across the map its not aim assist

If the user have a 2x or 4x-8x aim assist stills works, aim assist is pretty strong, you only need to know how to use it, i switch to pc from console 8 months ago but i immediately switch to Mouse and keyboard because the controller is just not fair, sometimes you land shots that you don't deserve to land, because apex aim assist is Call of Duty Like.
You only need to see Tsm_Abralalie wipe people with controller on Predator, that * is just OP.
@audiofilomxThe aim assist is so low though compared to a game like fortnite, on fortnite i can shoot people across the map i still miss shots but it atleast can do damage on apex that isnt the case at all, apex aim assist is mainly op in close range with a r-99 or prowler, snipers and stuff it really dosnt help at all atleast not for me lmao I suck at sniping in general, ive been trying mouse and keyboard on a different account and sniping is so much easier on mouse and keyboard, you just move the mouse in the area you want and i land shots consistantly but on controller that just isnt the case its either my sensitivity is too high or low but i just cant smoothly use my joystick to the exact location unless a player is standing still and i have time to do so but on mouse and key its so much simpler ( i lowerred my mouse and key sensitivity to a 2.75 vs the 5 that it was on by default and thats what made it so much smoother) but in close range i can also hitfire alot easier on mouse and key, but depends on the situation and weapons
Controllers do need alittle bit of aim assist because mouse and key have full range of motion while controllers are limited to a tiny box its usually too far and not enough i think I keep my look on a 6 and rest on a 5 maybe a 4 per optic sensitivitys- @FaIIenAngeI777 Look all the top controller players, they snipe like all the M/K pros, aim assist only needs good sights like 2x-4x or 3x to work, at close range there's no counter, with m/k you need to aim perfectly to win, the controller guy only need to press left trigger and automatically his aim is on the target and then spray with no effort at all, i tried yesterday the controller and get a win with 10 kills with hemlock, that was the easiest win i ever had.
They use a emulator for the PC (called Xim-Tech), which emulates a Controller and you got Aim-Assist, while you are playing with mouse and keyboard...
Pls Respawn remove that Aim-Assist on PC...its horrible!
And you know for a fact that all these controller people are using modified programs to trick APEX that their Mouse is a Controller so AIM ASSIST is turned on??
There are Controller users who are so good, their accuracy is a lot better than my M+K. I can not mimic their accuracy on my own controller.... even back in my console days, some people could 360 quickscope headshot me. They are crazy good much as how our top PC M+K shooters are crazy good.I honestly feel M+K users are blaming Controller users for their death when, statistically, the majority uses M+K.... IF there are any weird "Aim Assist" accusations like an R-99 scoping them from across the map... that is a hack program that killed you, not a Controller or some modified "Aim Assist" mouse.
Lol just got aim assisted again. Hits me for 200 by a controller player. But just ignore me. I've went against top 100 preds and havent been one magged by an r99 before
- @Tperodactyl Well, how do you know it’s a controller?
- @audiofilomx Are you talking about console top players or pc controller top players?
Top console players probably do have really good accuracy, because they are the top.
Console doesn’t have the same aim assist as pc, it’s less. - @Sir_Named Pc controller top players; and yeah aim assist is not the same on pc and console, console is just ridiculous, but everyone have it, so there's no issue there, the problem is only on PC, aim assist at close range is OP, even muzzle flash is irrelevant for aim assist, Pc controller players can track easily in low light situations with r-99 only because aim assist, just watch averageaden, soar_jonny, xedmin or daltoosh on ranked and they beam people even with muzzle flash blinding them, that not happened with m/K even aceu, dizzy, shroud, Diegosaurus, etc, are having troubles in low light situations because of muzzle flash, another thing that nobody is considering is that almost every fight in apex is at close range, so you can do a lot of damage, down 1 enemy at mid-long-range, but in order to get the kills you need to get closer and in that moment you will be destroyed by a controller, like Diegosaurus said you will loose 7 out of 10 against a controller player at close range.
- @Sir_Named Answering to how do you know it's a controller?, on Pc you can watch them loot after you die, and controller players can't move when looting, everyone at high levels on pc moves while looting. There's one easy way to know.
- @audiofilomx Alright, thanks for clarifying whether you know it’s controller or not.
But, let’s say you get into a close range fight. You can still win, as aim assist doesn’t do headshots. (From what I’ve gathered.) So, in effect, you could kill a controller at close range by hitting headshots, thereby out dps-ing them, or surprising them/hitting unexpectedly or something. Plus, the shooting is only one aspect, as m/k players still have the advantage movement-wise.
I don’t see how aim assist on console is ridiculous, it’s less than aim assist on pc. - @Sir_Named Because some people are streaming and when they do I can see if they are on controller or not. That's the only way I know for sure
- @FaIIenAngeI777 All the fights I lose on PS4 are close range because there is no "op" aim assist. It does not aim for you
@FaIIenAngeI777Yes, that is true. I play only PC with both mouse and controller depending on where I am and mouse is a LAZER at range compared to controller, so thats that, but at close range a controller can surpass a twitch wiggly mouse, beacause its much more stable. Also the stick can rotate infinitely so you dont run out of mousepad.
If theyre going to keep Caustic so noob friendly and skill-gap flattening, they may as well keep aim-assist just to keep it "in-style".
