Controller aim assist feels much weaker after the update

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a change to controller aim assist since the recent update.

No matter which response curve I use (Classic, Linear, or ALC), aiming now feels much "slipperier" than before. The aim assist slowdown around the center of the target seems much weaker, making it harder to stay on target and causing the aim to feel less stable.

I'm not trying to complain or argue that one response curve is better than another. I just want to know:

  • Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
  • Has Respawn confirmed any changes to controller aim assist?
  • Or could this be an unintended issue?

Thanks!

    Hey bro, to be honest, I think some people are just in denial. They don't want to admit how much aim assist affects their performance. Maybe that's why there aren't many complaints. Some of them probably only use easy-to-control guns like the Nemesis or the RE-45, so they don't notice the difference as much.

  • I've tried reinstalling Windows 11 five times, and I keep having the same problem. I also tried Windows 10, but the same issue happens. I changed the cable and even replaced the controller, but nothing fixed it. I don't know how to solve it. Why is nobody talking about this? Maybe only a few people have this problem?

    I completely agree. I've been playing Classic 4-3 for a long time because I learned it from Zaine, and it always felt great before. After this update, though, it feels like the aim assist on Classic has almost disappeared. Over the past few days it feels like maybe it's come back a tiny bit, but it's still only around 0.1 compared to what it used to be. I still don't understand why such a massive change to Classic isn't getting more attention.

  • same after update 7/9 is like no have aim assist im used 3-2 linear but is like high sensitivity is like 0.1 aim assist

    I thought I was the only one noticing how weak it feels cause I saw 0 complaints about it but i genuinely don’t know how to fix it I’ve done legit everything and it just feels like I’m playing on 0.1 Aim assist played on classic since I started and it’s never felt like this

    I agree 100%. I don't understand why almost nobody is talking about how much Classic changed. It feels significantly weaker after the update, while Linear feels normal. I really hope Respawn explains whether this was an intentional nerf or an unintended bug.

  • Feel the exact same way with 4-3 classic It feels weak and slippery but when I do Linear it feels strong and fine too me but Classic had became so weak since this new update it feels like I’m playing 0.1 Aim assist.
