Request: Push-To-Talk and Aim Assist Toggles for Non-PC Apex
Push-To-Talk
As PlayStation and Xbox versions are mouse-and-keyboard compatible (I'm not knowledgeable on Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck compatibility), I believe that the ability to toggle a custom-bindable PTT function would improve the game's voice chat functionality. As a PS4 player, I'm either able to have two-way communication voice chat enabled or disabled, with no further customization. PTT toggling for non-PC versions of Apex would improve the game in the following ways:
1. Allow players to receive voice communication from other players without having to enable their own voices, which can be more helpful for players with an inability to toggle their microphone's mute function without going into console settings
2. Allow players to only talk when intended, rather than their squad hearing a player talking to themselves, or other people in real life/in voice calls
3. Reduce background noise during games, especially from minors and people in loud households (which is exacerbated by the notoriously compressed audio)
Aim Assist
Contrary to the majority of complaints I've seen coming from PC players who may feel embarrassed when they're killed by a non-PC player (which, by the way, isn't something to be ashamed of), I personally find the mild aim assist more challenging in matches, and I would appreciate the ability to toggle it off.
In my experience, when in combat with multiple enemies, it nearly consistently tries to angle my crosshair towards a different player than intended, resulting in my crosshair focusing on neither opponent and shooting into a spot between both players, especially when zoomed in with a scope. It also makes it more difficult to aim down sights with a scope, as the expected response from turning the camera is more extreme than intended as a result of the aim assist.
