Zero recoil guns? Spectate mode broken? console cheaters?

Hello all, I started back up in Season 3, I play on XBOX and have been using the spectate mode quite a bit on squads/players that just rip through my armor/health and I drop like a sack of potatoes.

What I am noticing is a ton of players with absolutely ZERO recoil, I have tested the guns in the firing range with max attachments and non-of them ever get to zero recoil movement (closest I found was 301). After this newest patch I went in to firing range and the benefits of the attachments is actually negligible. Now I get that players can counter recoil which I understand, but I am not talking about a small bounce and then its under control, I am talking about the gun NEVER shaking, bouncing, recoiling what-so-ever. So my question is this, how is this possible? Again, I suck at the game and I know this but if I am simply this out matched then its probably time to for me to move on. I thought maybe spectate mode had an issue but I would say 3/10 or so players has the recoil you would expect so I do not believe that's the case. 

I have read up on the possibility of mouse/keyboard users and also modded controllers users. Are these guys/gals honestly getting away with this? If Respawn supposedly has a cheaters queue how I do find out if I have been put in it? and lastly, I use an Elite controller, will this earn you a spot in the cheaters queue? 

I love the game play and have come to accept the terrible net-coding, in-game lag, and other faults for what they are, but this is another level of bull@!#$ if it's true.

Thanks in advance for any input.

  • @DankToliet you Console players get aim assist, which I have seen some streamers try to play with it off, They are all over the place can't hit crap. That's using controller, Us mouse keyboard people don't have that so its just smoothness in play. Try to turn it off (aim assist) if you use a controller, see how much harder it is.

    @Huntinwabits What makes m/k worse on console is they are using Xim or Chronus so the console thinks it’s a controller so they have the added accuracy of a mouse and they also have the aim assist of a controller, it’s not god mode but a full squad of m/k is getting pretty close.

    Nobody is saying they are unbeatable, you appear to be fairly handy with the controller....the gap between you and a m/k user is much smaller than me vs m/k.....the fact is for most people m/k provides another level of accuracy, it doesn’t change the rest of the gunfight, positioning, 3rd party,  etc.

  • @ringin10You want to see players use recoil cheats go on youtube and watch some of the players.. I'm sure they claim they control it.. Okay, I can understand correcting it and keeping it on target but the gun is still going to bounce around a bit.. Some of these people on youtube their gun has 0 movement at all.

    Uh these dudes are not bruce lee.. They can't predict how the gun will recoil and counter it before it starts to move.

    @ringin10 Certain guns the recoil can be a benefit.. hemlock is a good one. I try to aim so I get 1 body shot 2 head shots with each burst. Most of the time I only land one head shot.. but I’ve learned to let that guns recoil do the work for me.

    I think there are a lot of keyboard and mouse players on console. It is much easier to move a mouse down to compensate for recoil using the 99 than to thumb the right stick down and aim. I wish xbox and game developers would take a stand against Xim users.
