Controller players
Hello everyone, I wanted to start a conversation on something that has been bugging me—and probably a lot of other people—for a while now: Apex Legends' controller aim assist situation. This has bee...

Aim Assist is one of those things that gets talked about a lot, but like a few had said already, what we're seeing is people using cheats, (however, instead of running software, they're using hardware).
There's multiple pieces of hardware players use that is bannable, such as:
- Strike Packs - Gives players anti-recoil scripts and extra buttons
- Cronus Zen - Gives players anti-recoil scripts and macros
- XIM - Translates M&K into controller inputs, (this is why you'd see someone moving while looting, despite being a console player)
I've seen legit console players and had even played on an Xbox, PlayStation 4, (and 5), on the Switch, and on PC with a controller. None of the players who are playing legitimately have god-like aim just because of the Aim Assist, (while when I played on console, (or on PC with a controller), I still had to aim at other players).
Furthermore, (from what I've noticed), if you use the controller's gyro on the Switch, it will disable the Aim Assist, (so if you're seeing a Switch player using the gyro with "Aim Assist", that's most likely a person using XIM).
There is no concrete evidence to showcase that the massive roller advantage over PC is somehow related solely to ZEN usage. Pro play has had the same issue for years of always having nearly no relevant pc players, with solely the roller pro crowd dominating.
