Remove aim assist now on PC
I have never in my life been lazered more by people than what controller players do. Ive went against apex preds and rarely do I ever get 1 magged EXCEPT when its a controller player. This crap is so...

The argument people who defend controllers are using is a terrible one. Namely that 'Controller players aim better but mouse and keyboard is better at everything else so its fine'
Aiming and being able to kill someone quickly is literally the most important part of a FPS game. If you can instantly laser someone with your aim assist and win because of that then it doesnt really matter if they can move better or loot faster with a mouse.
Someone with an aimbot can be the most worthless trash player on the planet, walk across the map in the wide open all game yet still kill anyone because their aim is perfect. The fact that they dont move perfectly or loot quickly is utterly irrelevant. The advantages that mouse and keyboard gives you over controller are secondary in importance. If aim assist perfectly tracks you and you cant perfectly track back, something which is extremely difficult for most people, you will lose even if you move better. This isnt fair.
@Gidoru That sounds nice but aim assist doesn't perfectly track anyone. The only meaningful advantages anyone has mentioned has been aim assist being stronger on PC and helping players track opponents through muzzle flash.
They don't compare to aim bot and console players can only dream of one clipping a target with an R-99 at long range. People are getting worked up over the name "Aim assist" and exaggerating what it can do. That said I have no clue why people want to use a controller on PC so rip Aim assist out if you like.
Aim assist provides:
- Extremely powerful tracking
- Reduced/removed recoil
- Tracking through smoke
- In some instances of using it, tracking through walls/doors.
What I experienced in short testing:
- Aim Snap, used with a shotgun I was almost unable to miss- Strong Tracking, with ability to easily get headshots due to not having to spend time tracking, only adjusting inside the tracking.
- Able to aim down sights through smoke and track enemies, and fire blindly landing a good majority of my shots.
- Sniper aim assist, I had trouble with this, but I did experience tracking, I just wasn't used to a controller.
Aim assist shouldn't exist at all, but it seriously shouldn't exist on PC.
@4ccbf460f7b926b1 Extremely powerful tracking? Seriously? Aim assist must be insane on PC since its nothing like that on consoles.
Aim assist is necessary due to how difficult it can be to track a moving target with a controller but I don't see a reason for controllers to exist on PC.
Rip out aim assist on PC and let controller users go back to consoles, play with the handicap, or learn M/K like everyone else.
- @Zamaha400 I agree. If console wants to keep it, I'm all for it. But on PC its weird to put a built-in aimbot against keyboard/mouse users. Especially when recoil is all but removed with controller/aim assist, compared to keyboard/mouse.
