Soft-Cheats (aka Aim-Assist)

So I've been taking advantage of aim-assist on PC by using a controller and all I can say is "wow".  I've never experienced aim-assist of this caliber before. It's mind boggling that Respawn would incorporate a soft-cheat like this into their game. It almost makes me feel bad like I'm using actual cheats; but hey, the mechanic itself comes courtesy of Respawn themselves and they've built it right into the game. So it's all """"""legitmate"""""" as far as Respawn is concerned.

Seriously, once I get my cursor anywhere near my opponent in CQC it's over for them unless they can manage to output more damage than me because my cursor will just stay glued to the target. They can try to juke, jump, crouch, whatever, and it just doesn't matter--they're doomed. Previously when I was using my mouse for aim, small little over-adjustments or recoil could easily turn the tide in my opponents favor but not anymore. I can easily dump one mag into an opponent and drop them while barely providing any input at all into the right joystick.


The only two drawbacks is that I can't move about while looting and my accuracy at range has gone down; but we all know fights in Apex are rarely won at range due to the high TTK and abundance of shield/health regeneration tools. So these "drawbacks" are moot at best. I can still easily quick swap armor from deathboxes and stay in the fight or quickly grab items that I might need such as grenades or shields/health.

This kind of aim-assist has no place on PC and should be 100% removed or dramatically toned down; but so long as Respawn keeps their soft-cheats (aka Aim-Assist) in the game then I have ZERO intention of ever going back to m+kb.

    @xTomboyRespecter Yeah. The real issue is that players are using third party devices to enable M&K on console, AND exploiting this aim assist, but with a mouse. And to top it off, there's not a single way to report on PS4.

    Yeah, let that one sink in.

    It's why I've quit the game.

    @littlxr yup, it requires additional hardware but people will do whatever they can to get an edge and since Respawn facilitates it then why not? Personally, its not to my taste to cheat THAT hard but like I said; if Respawn is gonna facilitate it... That's the whole reason I've switched to a controller because Apex is the only game where the aim-assist is so strong that controllers have the advantage and it's undeniable.
    I couldn't care less what so-called """"pros"""" like snipedown have to say about it either. That kid knows he's taking advantage of the system the same way that I know I am. Only difference is that I'm willing to recognize it instead of stomping my feet and squealing that it's not true.
    How amusing it would be to watch players like him and those that bought extra hardware squirm and drop in rank if their soft-cheats were disabled and especially the ones that bought the extra hardware.
