the aiming deadzone on xbox is inconsistent

in garden warfare 2, the deadzone sensitivity scales with the normal sensitivity. the result is a consistent aim where the speed of looking is dependent on how far you move the stick, and the deadzon...

@DoomEternalHype Well I played GW1 and 2. And I aimed perfectly fine too. I came to bfn, and my aim was off. I find the aim acceleration and brought it down to 0 to 0.1 and now my aim is fine. The feel on each game isn't exactly the same but close enough to where I just adapt to it and it then becomes a non problem.

There's a few levels at which you can control your sensitivity.
In game
In console
Stick laxity on your control
Stick length on your control
Fine motor control of your thumbs

If none of those fix, then the problem might just be psychogenic.

I don't think so. in GW2 I can aim perfectly fine, but not in BFN.

the aiming mechanics are different in this game, because when i went back to GW2, i made flick shots with Scuba Soldier that would not be possible in BFN due to the stick movement being more "gradual". i stick to around 2.5 and 3.0 for sensitivity.

  I did concede already that the mechanics are different, but I also flick shot on bfn when I don't have time to ADS/zoom. It's not impossible to do, just different timing.
  If you feel the stick movement is gradual then turn the acceleration up.
  My look and aim sensitivity use to be 3.0 to 3.5 and I kept adjusting it down. Now it's both at around 2.3 because i find mashing LT to lock on while strafing and jumping is better at lower look and aim sensitivity. But that's just what I discovered that works for me.

@mikepal19 There is also an issue with aiming when exiting run. Regardless of camera settings, I’ve noticed particularly on Rose that when exiting run and immediately entering aiming there is a lag that prevents my camera from moving at its normal speed. I then have to exit my aim and again aim at my opponent to get my camera back to normal speed.

Running in this game definitely spawns a host of issues, particularly with firing and aiming.

  I found a fix: turn on look acceleration to 0.1.

    @DoomEternalHype Nice, I'm glad you found a fix! Yeah that's what I use too. I use to have 0 which was way better than the default (2? Which made my aun extremely erratic, but was still a bit off for me. I turned it up to 0.1 which was perfect for me. Although just a subtle increase, it had a dramatic effect on the feel of my gameplay.
    
    I just remembered I couldn't flick shot on 0, that's why I turned it to 0.1.
    
    I encourage everyone to keep tweaking their settings until they find one that fits their style.
