Console Controllers no longer accurate from last patch?
I saw this post passing by on Reddit the other day, i play on PC as well but i use keyboard and mouse for shooting. Haven't tested the stuff below when i would use my xboxcontroller like you do, but maybe it helps you.There's a very good reason why your aim is off and it's not the changes to aim assist.
The main difference in aiming that you have noticed is the addition of 'stick dead zone' in the controller options. You'll find this setting in (controller options/advanced/stick dead zone).
On Xbox, 'stick dead zone' is now set at 22 by default and that setting makes aiming feel extremely slow and sluggish.
What I did to set it up was I joined an empty server by searching in the server browser for servers that have all spaces free. Then while in game, set the 'stick dead zone' to 0.
Now you will notice quite a lot of 'stick drift', but just keep going in and out of gameplay and settings and increase the 'stick dead zone' setting by 1-2 at a time until the stick drifting isn't present anymore.
Like mentioned, on Xbox it's set at 22 by default, but I have mine set at 12 now and my aiming is dramatically better then how my aiming was before the patch. Just be aware that the 'stick dead zone' setting will differ with different controllers, as with a brand new controller you will be able to get away with a much lower dead zone setting.
After setup, if you notice a tiny bit of stick drift still present during gameplay, then just increase the 'stick dead zone' setting by 1 unit only, and you will be set. (This will eliminate any small bit of stick drift that's still present, that's been missed during the initial setup, because even the tiniest bit of stick drift will throw off your aim).
So leave all aim assist settings on their default settings, but setup your 'stick dead zone' settings accordingly.
Now enjoy your new found ability to aim like a god
