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

Xbox and ps4 have the same aim assist as each other there is no buff for any console or pc. You are most likely versing better players than yourself so it seems like it was buffed.

    @MajesticClawWatch the video someone posted and say that. Aim assist was literally tracking someone in firing range with hip fire..... Dont tell us it didn't get something changed with it. Dude was slowly strafing left to right. Guy on controller literally was not touching anything and his gun was following him with near accuracy with out even aiming. When he aimed was same exact thing. It is too strong on pc. It needs removed. 

  • That is not a buff it was like that last season as well. Also, Pc aim assist is actually weaker than ps4 and xbox.

  • @MajesticClaw Please read the actual post, not once did I mention I'm struggling to kill people. Aim assist has been buffed this season, if you don't recognise the buff then you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Respawn like to stealth patch things all the time without adding it to the patch notes. Yes xbox and ps4 have the same aim assist, no one is saying that, what I'm saying is the aim assist on console has been BUFFED, again if you didn't recognise slight buffs/nerfs in the game in the past without reading it from other people or reading it from patch notes then you clearly have no clue what you're talking about let alone trying to be involved in the discussion.

    Console has always had 20% less aim assist than PC, but with this season the aim assist on console has been buffed, why do you think you don't miss your shots as much now, think you've gone better? lmao there's a reason you missed shots last season and hardly miss now. Aim assist has been buffed; please learn how to figure out in-game testing and get back to me once you finally do, without assumptions. Thanks.

    @MoNosDirtyGamingConsole aim assist is still the same as it always has been and so is pc. Console aim assist is stronger than pc with aim assist of 0.6 while pc is 0.4. You clearly are just propagating propaganda with all this misinformation without doing your own tests pre-season 7 with video evidence. Show me gameplay of you yourself playing on your "masters" account. 

  • @MajesticClaw Please just stop typing, you have 0 idea wth you're talking about. I've figured out its been buffed, there's now numerous threads on reddit and on here stating its been buffed merely hours/days later. I don't need to prove anything to you but just this once I will; all you'll find is that i'm just better than you. I will also take the extra bit of effort to say how could you even try and judge my master badge when you practically have 3k kills in total on your entire account and haven't even beat plat 4... and your main character to use is mirage? AND you still don't have over 800 kills with him????

    Anyways, pick a video.

    @MoNosDirtyGamingYou fail to understand how TRN tracker works. Also, judging by your aim you are just a plat player. I have been solo diamond every single season FYI. If you were a masters player why would you not play ranked in season 6?

    @MajesticClawI don't know what everyone is talking about with pc aim assist being stronger. I just switched from console to pc controller and the aim assist is noticeably weaker. On console the aim assist is so strong that you have to tear your aim off downed players and other enemies if you're switching targets (and that was last season). It also negatively effects movement on console because of this massive slowdown.

  • @MajesticClawLOL get off the forums my dude, you come on a post which is addressing that aim assist got buffed to comment about my skill when you've not even attempted playing higher than diamond 4 and then try and tell me I play worse than you and then try and suggest my aim is worse than a plat player and THEN ask me why don't I play ranked? I would also like to clearly address that I would wipe the entire floor with you on PS4. Talking about my aim yet you've never even left diamond lmfaooo AND YET THE ENTIRE POST IS ABOUT AIM ASSIST BEING BUFFED.

    LMAO, How about I do whatever the hell I want. If you have an issue with it then do something about it. FYI learn how to stick to a post's main discussions or don't bother commenting at all.

  • @TinyTim6991Don't listen to majestic he's absolutely clueless. Aim assist was at 0.4 on PC. On ps4 last season and prior seasons it was at 0.6. Starting this season aim assist got buffed on consoles, noobs won't notice it but players who understand that the skill gap gets reduced with every update will notice this change. If anything it has been slightly buffed another 0.1 and the hitbox has increased by either double or 4x it's original size.

    @MoNosDirtyGaming I'm just stating what I noticed from being a ps4 console player since preseason to recently switching to pc controller. The aim assist on ps4 used to lock on to opponents on occasion. I found someone hiding in foliage in kings canyon when i was sniping by taking my hands off the stick and letting the aim assist pull my aim on to them. That was back in season 1 or 2. I haven't noticed the aim assist being as invasive or as strong using a pc controller.
  • @TinyTim6991 Yes; aim assist on consoles was tweaked a lot during the initial few seasons, this season it's been buffed again. They'll most likely revert it with a patch, maybe even the one releasing today even though it mostly updates steam related issues, i'll have to see when I log in in a few.

    @MoNosDirtyGaming is totally right here.

    It appears totally broken with controller players.  Recoil with the Havoc is horrendous now on PC with mouse and keyboard, but look at the controller player - they can laser people with practically no recoil in MoNos's videos.

    And then look at the twitter vid with the console player - yeah, the R-99 is the best gun when it has no recoil, and you can just laser down chumps like nothing.  Fire up PC with mouse & keyboard, put a blue barrel on a R-99 and the difference is blatantly obvious.

  • @Gator762FMJThe problem is mainly the players like me who have been playing with a controller for so long, like i can remember when I first started this game I would pick up a R-99 and that thing would spray all over my screen lmao i was so so so bad with it but eventually I got better with the recoil after using it so much so now I can just pick it up and have virtually no recoil with it, i mean it wasnt hard its basically just pulling down on the right stick slightly to counter the recoil but I didn’t know that as a noob it wasnt until I watched staycation and gamingmerchants videos about recoil patterns until I finally got decent with controller

    I ended up switching over to linear and practicing with a wingman in the firing range on the non target dummies that dont have aim assist and thats been helping me alot tbh
