Research into aim assist!

Ok so over the last little while I’ve been doing some unscientific research into controller aim assist. Here’s my unscientific approach….

- Load into a game and play – when deleted check the setup.

- If beaten in a good fight – check the setup.

- Disable cross play (I’m on PC so it is a line of code) – when I am deleted check setup.

- When beaten in a good fight – check setup.

Here’s what I’ve found:

- Playing in open game with consols is untannable – the aim assist is so overwhelming that keyboard and mouse is not competitive. Jumping, sliding and shooting accurately is a controller thing and can’t be maintained on keyboard and mouse. The accuracy and ability to hold that aim is unrealistic.

- When cross play is off, I get a MUCH better game and the only times I get deleted is when it’s a PC playing with a controller!

Yes, I have checked this and yes, I am confident in my findings.

P.S. Please don’t just reply “get better” or “this is a skill issue” I’m trying to have an intelligent conversation here and have put a lot of time into this and don’t need unintelligent replies like that!

Well, aim assist must be completely broken then, because I'm on xbox and I don't notice it at all. My reticle slows down while ads, that's all I can tell. No snap-to lock on, reticle doesn't track if the player moves at all. I believe you that controller players have op aim assist, but there's a lot of controller players who it doesn't work for. I play cross-play off, and I still run in to cronus cheaters, which I think might be a lot of what pc players are experiencing.

I will say I don’t agree with the recoil difference, it should be a standard system across any input.
BUT, aim assist for controllers is in EVERY FPS. If you play long enough on controller you’ll notice the aim assist in this game is actually counter intuative and works better if it’s turned down below 50%. More often than not the aim assist pushes your aim ahead of moving targets and you really have to fight it making sniping very painful. Dont even get me started on trying to aim down a lane with multiple targets.
