I just noticed that aim assist is nerfed on console. Its not like before it feels wierd.

@RXYRP Yeah i did the ranked match placements and i struggled with aim too, it felt strange like AA was not the same. Maybe they're testing this but even so they should say this so at least we know it. I think we'll never get an official statement on this unfortunately.

@EA_David Happening in actual matches as well!! Very intermittent. You might have aim assist on one enemy, but the next enemy, the aim assist is completely gone

I noticed this as well, in game and tested in depth in firing range. tested across all sim input styles (classic, linear, etc), and 1-3x scopes.effectively, at short to medium range, if you use the right stick on ADS to a target and you cross the body of that target, AA is removed. You can stand there and wait, hands off the controller, and 2 minutes later the target will not have it. This is also happening in game, I tested it out on an AFK player in TDM. I was able to remove my AA by manually crossing the body of the player with the right stick at all.When you cross the player and leave the AA zone, you see the camera even out and the aim speeds up. The problem is coming back to the player, it never re-grabs. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Hello legends! I have conducted further testing, and concluded that AA is disabled when the opponent is looking at you / you are in their fov. Weird right? I have a video that shows this, I am not moving the joystick at all, AA is just broken when I am in the dummy’s “view”vid:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MNMqLNlFrGVWah15vESIsezY8ht_Bhi6/view?usp=drivesdk google drive link, since Idk how to share it without uploading it to YouTube Edit: The plot thickens, I afked in the firing range for about 30-40 min, not letting it time out, that game me AA back, then, I killed myself with a grenade, and AA was fully gone, none in front, and none in back. Edit 2: It gets weirder, when you don’t have AA, Ballistic’s tactical will show that you have locked on, but doesn’t actually lock on, negating the smart part of the smart bullet.Edit 3: the above was a one-off, also his tac occasionally crashes the game 🙂Edit 4: AA seems to turn on and off randomly, I have found no way of controlling it, except for dying seems to cause it with more frequency than anything else (If you play mixtape… don’t)

@RXYRP when AA is on it was normal to be honest , usually I feel the little changes but didn't during my short session yesterday.but on the other hand it felt weird when I turn off the AA , usually when I do warmup in firing range I do it with AA off even when i do 1v1 with a friend.but yesterday there was something strange , the aim was snapping but in a bad way and not accurate , feels like there is some kind of sudden acceleration in the stick.I didn't change any of my settings and been using the same settings for a long time , even my friend said that " there is something wrong "

@hayhorThere has also been a recently faked AA video supposedly displaying that aim assist is OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LHjX9Wfaa8 (can’t find OG vid sorry)

Please do note that this video is not Aim Assist, it has been taken as aim assist, but it is not. The player is clearly tracking with the controller (if not using a cronos or strike pack.) I’ll link what AA actually looks like here. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet 🙂

P.S. AA seems to be in working order today, worked consistently in the firing range today for me.
Edited to add link to what AA really looks like (lmk if it’s inaccessible)

@EA_David i invested thousands of dollars in this game through 4 years of gameplay, and now my whole experience is ruined because of some kind of bug or secret AA nerf, and i think my time in playing and investing in this game is coming to an end because no body is even responding to this matter and no official statement about it.

Anyone know if they fixed it?
I played a couple days ago and didn't notice anything different, I even went into the firing range.

@XxColdFangxXno they did nothing and i noticed that not all players are experiencing the same issue. the wierd thing is that no official statement yet from respawn or EA, we are on our own and no body is replying to this matter.

@RXYRP It is weird that there hasn’t been any official statement, or even I silent update. When they removed tap strafing (on purpose and on accident) they were quick to release a statement. One would think that AA would be just as important, if not more. It is a core mechanic of the game, and problems with it shouldn’t be ignored!
Gonna tag some folks to see if we can get a word in if anyone has been told about this, or if it’ll be left in the dark forever.

I'm on MnK but I'm commenting here so there's a higher chance of Respawn noticing. I have heard of Aim Assist being wonky in firing range but some people here are also noticing it in actual matches
needs fixing ty

Hi, I’m very much experiencing no AA in actual matches. Both ranked and pubs on PS4 it is extremely difficult to track targets since the start of season 17.

@Pete6274 Yup, it all started at S17.
We are all waiting an official statement about this.
