Its different for console and PC, but on PC it will:
Track for you, severely dampen recoil, track through smoke, etc.
Close quarter it essentially makes you unable to miss, and able to easily adjust for headshots as you adjust inside of the tracking it does automatically for you.
Aim assist does not do any of the things you said. It only slows the reticle down as you move it over someone and very slightly rotates if the person you are aiming at moves. It will not track for you. If you don’t move the reticle then when the person moves they move out of the aim assist window. I play on both console and pc and the recoil is the same. I have also used a mouse to test this and the recoil patterns are the same for both. It does start to slow your reticle through smoke but only a fraction before the smoke becomes see through. It will not work through full smoke or caustic has or windows. This video shows exactly how little help it gives. Just enough to allow a controller to be viable. https://youtu.be/diXs-4Qa0PI
- 6 years ago@Mr_Mi5ch13f_2 Just ignore what these guys say. I have seen tons of them on the forum and they have no evidence to back up their claims. No amount of reasoning will do you any good.

When i play the quest the aim assist is obvious, i don't notice any aim assist in live games.
- 6 years ago@Mr_Mi5ch13f_2 What I saw in this video you linked, was a guy who could very quickly lock onto targets, due to slowed reticle that extremely 'gravitated' to enemies, that made it really easy to shoot the right direction.
This made it super easy for him to stay on target while the game shifted his aim left and right, and all that was required from him was to vaguely push down to completely remove recoil (as its slowed down, he doesn't have to worry about going off target) and aiming within the reticle tracking.
I don't care if consoles have this, but this makes it extremely easy for decent controller players to stay locked on target, so when you compare it to mouse and keyboard, its a huge advantage to aiming. And aiming is the single most important thing. If you can aim well, you'll win nearly every fight even if someone can move better than you. - 6 years ago
@Mr_Mi5ch13f_2The only reason to play the game with the gamepad is aim assist. This does not show that you are right. If we remove only aim assist but not gamepad support. You can't stay with your gamepad in Apex Legends.
@BaldWraithSimp
We deal with an injustice. I don't care what you write or not. People like you ignore injustice. You are the ones who make the game unplayable.- 6 years ago
Really? How about reasons like repetitive strain injury or other issues? I used to play with a keyboard but now use a controller because of injury.
