@34975634954957 Heavy for me. Better aim. If it was on pc then no aim assist since you have more control.
@mikepal19 Hey, PC player here, aim assist doesn't actually activate on PC unless you plug in a controller, just thought that should be mentioned.
I detest heavy aim assist because it’s only used as a manipulation tool.
In BfN, people who use heavy aim assist are usually those who bunny hop/intentionally throw off their hit boxes. In GW2, it was characters like Agent Pea that could aim hack (with heavy aim assist), when manipulated correctly.
I wish they’d limit bunny hopping or remove heavy aim assist from BfN.
No offense, @mikepal19 , I just can’t stand people trying to take advantage of mechanics.
EDIT: phone
2nd EDIT: @34975634954957 Do you bunny hop with small characters? Not being rude, just curious.
- @spIash_damage No that's fine. For most part, all console fps use a form of aim assist. Because compared to PC, you don't have the fine motor control. Console aiming is assisted because you can only use your thumb muscles to adjust your aim. With a PC, you have superior control because you have muscles of your hand, forearm and even upper arm to adjust your aim.
With that said, at any elite level of any fps game, you have to take advantage the mechanics otherwise, naturally you would get taken advantage of if you don't. And it sucks that it's like that but that's the reality. There are people who play casually and don't care about it and there are other casuals who do. Either dev's can patch it somehow, or people have to use it to compete. Or don't use it and just get use to the situation.
You can do WAY more on PC than you can on console with heavy aim assist. This is applied throughout all shooting games. This assist is just to close the gap between the two platforms.
I don't need to heavy aim assist because I feel I have decent aim but there are things you can do with heavy assist that you can't without it. And I won't let someone have that over me in this game. Therefore I use it as it will definitely be used on me. Im not judging if you don't wanna follow that path, cuz that's your choice. But just know that taking advantage of certain mechanics are common place which can be seen all the way up to the professional levels. Just gotta adapt I guess.

I turned it off right away as I heard some PC players state it was making mouse aiming flakey. I have 2 controllers plugged in and some games assume I want to use them so I turn stuff like that off so it doesn't cause issues.
