Honestly, the aim assist is ridiculous. Xbox players kill me with just 3-5 shots, all the time. It Looks like the shots don't hit them. 90% of my kills are for xbox players. Aim Assist is very strong, they need to fix this urgently.

Aim assist just keeps getting turned up more and more in modern games. The fundamental issue is that these devs are trying to balance the different inputs to have similar statistics, but that’s not fair either. If you want to be playing at the highest level then you should be using a mouse on PC. Developers have over compensated and now controllers are consistently out performing MnK players in many games and It’s absurd. Take away all the different assistance and mouse players would destroy controller players. So why should they be balanced to have similar statistics?!

If the the cost of crossplay is overturned assistance for controller players, no thank you. 

What I personally would be happy with as a compromise is: 

1. Turn down snap to target to at least be in line with previous BF games. Snap to target has been roughly quadrupled in 2042 in comparison to BF1 and BFV. Honestly it shouldn’t even be a thing, but that would be a lot more tolerable. 

2. They should not get reduced recoil. It then effectively reduces spread as well. I think it’s one of the culprits of always dying in one tick update. Once they’ve locked onto you, you’re already dead. 

Those are the biggest issue I believe with the assist. I’d love to get a patch or new game with those changes and see what that was like. It’s all about those sales though. 

There’s enough players on PC too btw. The pools of players are just intertwined since crossplay is enabled by default.

My own experience (PS5) is that aim assist is non existent.  I can draw a great bullet outline of most enemies and rarely, if ever, do I feel like the game is helping me to aim better.  Snap to target  aiming is absolutely not a thing !!

I generally play with crossplay off, but I turned it on recently and it was fine.  I was expecting to be constantly picked off by PC players, with all their millions of advantages, but that wasn't the case.  That said, I've turned it off again.

Fact is, all players are occasionally going to feel like the game has it in for them, we all have rounds where we can't do anything right.  But everyone has that, so the next time you feel like you got picked off with a single bullet after you got behind cover, bear in mind the enemy you just shot feels the same way about you 😃

Just remove this cheaters crap. I'm on Xbox and don't have the ability to turn off crossplay and play without AA users. Go the GTA route and seperate them. No competent player needs aim assist.

Dice plz nerf Console network advantage.
