Re: Why did console aim assist get a huge buff for this season?

As someone who played both on PS4 and PC with controller i must say the aim assist on PC was much better then on PS4. Maybe that's why they changed it, to bring it even and later support M&K on PS4, not sure.

  • @fuzzykeuh Yes, PC had 60% assisted aim while Consoles had 40%, I still don't understand the full reasoning behind buffing aim assist to console except to help newbies. This is just another nerf to skill in Apex.

    The aim assist your referring too being cranked to 11 is mostly modded controllers they get mod packs and its pretty vicious but its tuned higher for PlayStation because the statistic for players on ps4 performance is not good at all. The sales for modded controllers and software for ps4 are insanely high as well so they are more often then not going to be a major problem when it comes to cheating. You could tell respawn but they wont do anything at all.

    I can really feel the assist when dropping, i make a freaking 90 degree turn 

  • @Shockwave743 Are you sure mate? When I tested it on the training dummy the aim assist did all the work, all I did was strafe, this is how I initially found aim assist to be stronger, then I noticed the 2-4x larger hitbox.

    @MoNosDirtyGamingOK I wanna add something to this debate. I didn't record the fight itself but I did record the Death Recap. Here is the video (12s): https://youtu.be/zncj-ou9ee0

    As you will see that Loba deleted me with headshots only from her R301. I A-D-Strafed and crouchspammed as much as I can and yet I get headshots only? Either this was a cheater on a console OR it's the most ridiculous case of Aim Assist ever.


    Edit: I mean I am pretty sure that it is a cheater (at the end of the video I report this player anyway) cause I am 99,99% sure that Aim Assist is not THAT ridiculously strong. But you know: there is always a chance for the unthinkable to happen.

    @Zero-Loot5 Yeah, I agree, pretty sure that was a cheater.
    Aim assist has always been a controversial topic, and it’s even harder because there are often modded console players or straight up hackers.
    I mean, you see plenty of people on here with a nerf console aim assist complaint, (I’m sure at least some are genuine), but how would you know it was a console player? (At least before crossplay.) Even now, you could even be facing some kind of smurf who is actually using a keyboard and mouse on console or something.

    @Zero-Loot5 I would truly question that. There are ways to have aimbot on console I've recently found. I actually had same exact thing happen to me dude whips around and all 6 bullets head shots. Aimbot is bad enough now these aim assist controllers have a small aimbot added. Truly fair game play isn't it for us?
