Clearing up some misleading news
Recently there has been a lot of talk about how overwatch 2 has turned off controller AA in pc lobbies. In a video showcased by jmeyels someone has set up an r5 reloaded scenario where AA is turned u...

@BigMacAttack8u You're not going to change anyone's mind. However thanks for your post. I've been thinking the same as you wrote about this on occasion ever since that video footage was first released. As for myself, I play only in console lobbies, and I couldn't care less if Respawn were to decide to nerf aim assist. I'd still be on equal footing with my competition, regardless. If it would silence even just a percentage of the whining and malding over this particular topic, that would be a win in my book.
@pandareno1999 There are definitely players who really rely on aim assist to play, especially in CQC. If they decide to nerf it, you'll definitely see those who constantly ADS even in CQC become a bit more dominate at the game.

Then what are the laser sights for?
I admit to not knowing a ton about the various types of AA (or even how to turn it off an on in Apex yet) but at least with Destiny 2 I notice I hit hipfire shots from AA that would have missed more than when aiming. Based on everyone I see seeming to shoot hipfire in the Crucible, I thought it applied to hipfire only (and aiming, was, well, manual aiming).
My problem in FPS games is that as in real life, I ALWAYS AIM MY GUN. Using real guns for 25+ years has drilled into my head that you, "AIM, you DO NOT HIPFIRE, and you know what your target is and why lies beyond it." As a result, I keep aiming all the time even in close range and usually get wrecked. If I can keep enemies at "marksman" ranges I can usually hit.
So, does aim assist apply to hipfire or aiming in Apex? Maybe that's why I keep getting wrecked is cause I aim like I would any real gun...
- @Kyldenar Aim assist works with ads and hip firing. I'm curious to understand what Darth meant. I think he meant that people that ads die more because they move slower but I don't see how removing AA would matter. You have it both ways.
If you are not hip firing close up you will lose most fights.
