There's a distinct difference playing console only vs console with PC players. I saw in the beta and early months when there was enough PS5 players to find games.
Like it or not, the reality is most console players are not as accurate as PC players. Its a fact. Even with Aim Assist on, its a fact. Aim assist closes the game, but its no way as fast and responsive as mouse and keyboard on a good PC. Not to mention the better framerate, processing, and FOV in a good PC vs a PS5 or Xbox Series.
In console only, the gameplay is much more wide open. I can run around freely and even expect to turn on enemies that get behind me and get the first shots in.
With PC players, I get intant head shot all the time. I have to be a lot more cautious leaving cover. It results in a more restricted playstyle vs console only. Not just for me, but for the whole lobby.
@ArchAngeL-PCX For me it’s the exact opposite, the situation that are difficult for a mouse user, longer ranges, only a small part of a player is visible or moving or multiple targets is where I constantly see console players excel at.
I am not saying aim assist is OP far from it, but it’s those occasions where it’s outperforming it’s function and turns into an aimbot instead of an assist.
Think a big part of the issue is the 100% absence of recoil for console, makes weapons way more accurate so those times the aim assist is dead on the TTK is riduclous.

Aim assist turns off at 100m.
I'm pretty sure aim assist doesn't work against slivers of a player model. Will have to test this.
Most experienced console players turn off the snap aim assist because it's terrible against groups of tightly packed enemies, among other reasons.
@VOLBANKER_PC 99%
Also noticed a ton more console players using scopes 2x and higher compared to PC, not weird cuz the recoil on the scopes is much more exagerated making them much harder to get shots on target.
Consoles get a 25% recoil reduction to first shot, horizontal and vertical recoil.
Controller Input
When using a controller, a player's weapon will receive the following benefits:
0.75x FSM
0.75x VRec
0.75x HRec

With all three of them working together I bet it's more than 25%.
