Community AdminI'm on ps4 I've had to turn aim assist off because I found it made hitting targets harder if anything. I also never use aim acceleration.
My problems with aim assist:
All the aim assist does in this game is heavily reduce aim sensitivity whenever an enemy pops up in the centre of the screen. The sudden change in sensitivity just feels off. One slight wrong movement on the right stick and boom my aim is now completely off. It slingshots my aim away because it goes from mega slow (from the high aim assist) to going instantly back to my normal fast aim sensitivity. It throws me off. This also happens a lot when they start sprinting away. I'll have the enemy centred on my screen, the turtle sensitivity from high aim assist kicks in, but then they start sprinting and bunnyhopping. Slingshotting my aims all over the place. When they start sprinting high aim assist makes it way harder to keep enemies in centred.
GW and GW2 didn't have this issue because no one was sprinting around at Mach 12 speeds. In those games, if you managed to land shots they would at least chunk decent dmg. Primary fire in BFN was made weaker across the board (not including Scientist's primary fire) and everyone became more agile and hard to hit. Landing shots on hard targets feels almost futile. Sometimes I feel that for some characters (like SnapDragon and 80's), abilities are easier to hit and are more reliable than primary fire when it comes to dmg output.
Did EA sack the devs that did aim assist in gw2?
