FPS Strike pack / Cronus / XIM, etc.
Warning: tl;dr. I've been a ghost on these forums and across social media in general for the last year, specifically in the silent hope of finding some concrete, credible response from someone "in t...

@Wingmannedbro So it's evident based on some of your responses that you're a XIM (mouse) user. I'm not really referring to that as being the biggest problem, of course providing the recoil is the same for you, and there are no rapid-fire macros enabled, etc. If, however, mouse users gain an advantage through being able to adjust and compensate for recoil far easier than possible on console, then I'm sorry but it's just simply not fair.
We're not talking about one player using a Dualshock 4 and the other using a Scuf here. We're talking about people using a modification to play others online that is still not actually allowed under the T&Cs and therefore must be added using a third-party method, and that's why it's a problem. It means that not everyone can just go to the store and come home with a PS4 mouse and keyboard and plug it in to "git gud", which means that people in the know, have that advantage over players that don't have the option.
Anyway I digress, I don't want to dissuade from my real problem which is anti-recoil. It's a cancer, it is in every single game I play now (and I'm really not exaggerating), it is GLARINGLY obvious and I'm immensely bored of players online being like "Bro it's called getting good and controlling recoil lmao". Because either they're trolling, fan boys, or the more likely option being they use the cheats themselves because they're equally cowardly and can't bear to admit it to the world because they'll be found out.
You head over to Twitch or whatever and see a lot of these streamers using the Strike Pack openly, encouraging people to buy it, claiming there are no repercussions etc. These people will be nobodies again if a ban comes into force, they'll be bang average at the game with no device keeping their aim steady for them, they'll all fade back into bitter anonymity whilst the rest of us can start enjoying true competition again and that'll be the most beautiful day since the game's release.

@littlxr M&k aren't even that much of a issue. PC mixes both controllers and keyboard players.
Respawn has to do something about modded controllers and strike packs on console. I ordered a strike packs so I could get 4 extra buttons without have to pay $180 for an elite V2. And I have the ability to use those mods if I wanted.
I honestly got it so I could block and dodge easier in Final Fantasy 15 ><

- @DankToliet Yeah, again, I'm not really referring to M&K, although if it has to exist, it should be native and not third party. It lies in the grey area of gaming in my opinion, because an average competent M&K player is always going to be better than a good console player due to sheer logistics. Wrist and arm aiming is lightyears above thumb aiming in terms of accuracy, I think we can all agree on that.
But again I digress, I am trying to mainly highlight Strike Packs and any form of anti-recoil as being the fundamental issue plaguing my enjoyment on this game.For anyone unaware of how this thing works and how effective it is.
Gamers are such a bizarre species. Half use cheats, and it's almost as though the other half would rather dig for a million different ways to tell someone to git gud than accept such cheats exist at times, even when faced with undeniable facts, statistics and evidence. So, so weird. Twitter is full of people claiming anti-recoil doesn't even exist. It really astounds me, and perpetuates the notion that absolutely squat will get done about it because "not enough people are complaining".
