EA Turn Aim Assist down on Consol , the game is so unbalanced between PC and Consol !or you might as well let PC use Aimbot !!PC players for years have been begging to stop Aimbot and here you go and basically let Consol players use Aim Assist which is similar ! Like WTH !!

No….. let PC players play by themselves like before and let us Console players play Cross play between Consoles.

This is the answer. The balance is so bad because the inputs are different. PC players think liz missiles are too strong but console has a hard time using them.

@OneDeadEye4 As a console player, I can tell you the aim assist in this game is awful. The point of aim assist is to give console players a fair chance against pc players since it's much easier to aim with a mouse. Unfortunately it's still doesn't even give console players a fair chance. I find myself having no issue winning gun fights against other console players but absolutely get destroyed by most pc players I come across. No to mention that 99% of matches, I see the top few spots filled with pc players who are like 70 and 11. A good example of a good aim assist is actually COD MW2. Removing aim assist would make the game unplayable for console players since they would not be able to compete against pc players. Based on my experience, the aim assist is incredibly weak and inconsistent most of the time and needs to be improved.

@OneDeadEye4 I’m with ya, I’m a PC player too. After reading way too many posts on this topic, and hearing from both sides, I think we need to recognize that the game itself has so many netcode issues that we don’t really know how aim assist works in game against real players. I’ve seen Xbox players on the top of the leader boards, while reading it’s always PC. I get melted by XBox players, killed around corners or behind cover, or in a package of bullets. I’ve read console players saying the same thing about PC players. With different regions and players and the admittedly awful connections this game gives, I don’t think any of us really knows how the game plays. I know what my experiences are, and I see so much consistency in posts from console players that I believe that their experience is also true for them. The only we we can both be right is based on the inconsistency of 2042. So what I want is for Dice to fix the darn game, then we can continue this debate when we can have some definitive proof.

The tracking of the aim assist can't even keep up with the player movement in this game. How can it in any way be considered an aim-bot? I lose almost every 1 on 1 standoff to moving and strafing targets because the slow drag of the assist that negates player input makes aiming the weapon feel like a chore instead of natural movement. All anyone has to do to defeat console players using aim assist is quickly step side to side because the enemy player controls the aim more than that player does.

Most experienced console players actually turn off the aim assist snap.
PC players have some pretty fantastic ideas on just how strong aim assist is. If you are curious about how strong aim assist actually is try playing with the arrow keys instead of the mouse (moving the mouse disables the assist for 5seconds). See for yourself if it lives up to the aim bot claims.

And Im over here just wanting Gyro Aim for controller players...😥
The ability to turn the controller into a mouse-like control is so beneficial and more intuitive for many of us and does not need Aim Assist. Extremely helpful and evens the battlefield between KbM players and controller players. Been using on games like MW2 and Fortnite. Plus, adding Flick Stick improves responsiveness (though its not everyones cup of tea understandably).
Here is a handcam of MW2 gameplay in case youre unsure what it looks like and this is all without AA since it gets shut off when using Gyro Aim:

And here is a Flick Stick version (though like I mentioned in the video, theres a missing setting but it still can work):

I think many people would be surprised how many actually use and prefer this system as well. Its been getting more and more heavily asked for on playstation forums as a standard. Not asking for it to replace stick aiming (more Accessibility is always better). But as a standard alongside it to give us more options on how to play.

@funnyhundy Very good example. That's why they buffed them in the last patch so that console players could actually use them.

@BgobbleD I tried gyro aiming on mw2 and I'm not a huge fan. I'd have to completely relearn how to play games again if I used that.

Actually I play on both BUT I only play on Consol when I spend a couple months in Florida , I live in NY and it’s not easy to drag my whole PC setup to Florida so I keep and XBox 1 there , and I will admit I literally am terribly bad on Consol and if it wasn’t for the aim assist I would have no game BUT if I spent as much time on Consol as I have invested in PC I’m pretty sure I could Tare it up with Aim Assist .

Yeah its not for everyone. But it did take me a few days of playing on Days Gone before I got a bit more comfortable. About a week to become fairly adept. I ALWAYS recommend to people to start against AI in certain games to learn it. Plus, you always have to adjust the settings a decent amount from what most games set at default. Devs have a horrible havit of starting the sensitivity WAY too low. Like with MW2, my sensitivity is at 6.75 for horizontal where the default is at 1.0 haha. Thats a major uptick. And then Threshold and Initial were alway dramatically changed.
But a lot of this comes from already knowing what a lot of these settings do and are capable of for Gyro Aim players. For anyone whose new to Gyro Aim, its fairly foreign language and sometimes devs dont explain it well so it can lead to really bad first impressions.
