@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.
