Summarize your bug There is an issue with both aim assist and uniform soldier aiming after this update. Unsure if it is effecting all players, but aim assist is no longer working. Additionally, Uniform Solder Aiming now has very strong sensitivity values that are felt most in low magnification scopes.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game with either a controller or on console, with aim assist turned up and USA on, with default settings.
What happens when the bug occurs? ADS sensitivity feels like it is turned up to the maximum value on low (2x and lower) magnification scopes. I have not yet tested larger magnification scopes for differences. Aim assist no longer sticks to targets. It feels as if it is set to a value of 5-10 instead of 100.
What should be happening instead? USA and Aim Assist should be properly functioning.

‌

Please see report. This seems as if it is effecting a lot of players posting online, but possibly not everyone as a friend of mine does not feel a difference from this patch.

Summarize your bug After today's update, my ads sensitivity went up for some reason. I usually play on 50 sensitivity, and 30 ADS sensitivity, wich helps me track enemies better. Now the ADS sensitivity feels more like 70, and it won't adjust when I put it back to 30 or anything else. Just all over the place.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I just log into a match and play whatever gamemode and the ADS sens is already wrong from the beginning.
What happens when the bug occurs? I just can't ADS and lock onto an enemy because I'm not used to such a high sensitivity when I ADS. I use 30, wich makes it that I can better track enemies. The bug makes it that the ADS sens feels like 70.
What should be happening instead? Adjust, like it should be

Hopefully they fix it cuz it isn't really a fun expierence playing like this.

The bug is even more serious
- Turning uniform soldier aiming on or off has no impact, the game treats it as turned on all the time
- sensitivity slider doesn't have impact on the sensitivity
- no matter which scope you are using (holo, X4 or X6), the bug is the same
I,m used to play without uniform soldier aiming and for me the gameplay is really bad with this bug

There is a general problem with uniform soldier aiming, no matter if the option is turned on or off, in-game it is always on by default and using sensitivity slider doesn't work

@McGorgeous Yup.
I’m on PS5 and it’s the same problem since the update.
All sensitivities seemed to have been dialled up to 11.

I had to turn off uniform soldier aiming and then dial down ALL sensitivities to a fraction of what they were.

Took ages to get them all to feel half decent.
Still doesn’t feel the same.

Needs sorting.

I have the same issue/experience. Man i wish they could just make aiming on console feel like BF4/1/V. It feels so janky to aim and track targets in this game, especially at longer distances

I cant enjoy the game anymore since the last update because of how it feels to aim on controller now. This needs to be fixed asap.
