Perfect shot
At my age, you're lucky to fire in a straight line 🙂, but I have a question. It seems I'm good at asking questions that no-one knows the answers to; I've posted a few of them and no-one has replied...

@ATFGunr so you think aim assist not even locks on, but negates bullet drop also?
we are playing 2 very different versions of this game.

@TwentyValve If that’s your take away from my comment, more power to ya man. You understand what you choose to understand I guess. You keep being you.
- @ATFGunr my reply was to your first reply not your second.
I 100% agree the netcode is garbage, and Dice should be ashamed of releasing it.
but to the topic of aim assist, it is very broken on console. it will either laser someone, or prevent being on target, and everything in between. is as inconsistent as the netcode, almost like the two are related somehow.- @TwentyValve some console players say it’s garbage, some say it’s OP. I play on PC so have no direct knowledge of it. Somehow I’ve got over 1100 hours in this game, played since day 1, and on the day the aim assist was patched I started dying to XBox players with the SFAR. It hasn’t changed, it’s only gotten worse. So from my experience aim assist definitely had an effect. Packets of bullets is netcode, instant headshot from a G17 (the new meta for consoles, used to be SFAR) points towards aim assist. I respect that you may have a different experience. I can also totally buy into the code having an effect on aim assist, it affects everything else. 2042 is my first game experience with crossplay, and so far it’s not been impressive.

I'd like to hear from a PS player to see what their experience is like.
for headshots, aim assist doesn't lock onto the head, only center mass, you have to intentionally aim for the head, or do like I do, and start at the chest and let recoil do the rest, for a headshot. if its specific players always getting headshots on you, its more than likely that 3rd party device, not aim assist.
but until Dice can code proper netcode, its impossible to know for sure.
