With the latest update, something regarding aim assist from console has changed.

Notes

  • This seems to happen in both console and crossplay lobbies
  • This was done using a controller on console

Information From Our Tests

  • When aim assist does work, it is noticeably weaker than usual.
  • It seems like it doesn’t work until some kind of Forward, Back, Left or Right is inputted.
  • Jumping doesnt work for it
  • If you’re moving it seems to track by itself barely
  • If they move themselves and you’re stationary, it doesn’t do anything

Hello!

Question for you all. When you are in the main menu and go to Settings - Controls - General, what does it say for the Enable Mouse and Keyboard setting? Is it on or off?
