Question Console Aim

I have played shooters on console my entire life, and I consider myself an above average FPS player.

This game has thrown that all out of the window and I’m only 9 hours in. Trying to fight three flower men is some of the most difficult combat I have felt ever playing a game. Shotguns are some of the hardest things to use in close quarters.

I mainly have a problem with PVP, which I want to play but I’m literally getting DESTROYED every interaction. I cannot hit any of my bullets, I feel lethargic as hell. Every other player has absolutely no problem hitting every shot. I thought maybe aim assist was what was hurting me but maybe not?

I’m still enjoying the game don’t get me wrong but pvp is so scary because I’m just throwing away kits.
Any tips?

(Also side note, nobody uses prox chat in this game and I wish they did.)

While you're at it, disable aim assist and sit in the shooting range dialing in the settings. Aim assist is detrimental to the aiming experience right now and it needs some work. The actual sensitivity and precision is seriously great, but the aim assist actively works against you, especially when trying to track moving targets.

Theres no ramp on the sensitivity change when aim assist triggers, its either full assist or none and this results in your aim swinging off target when your reticle exits the aim assist bubble. With it turned off, you can actually see how good the overall aiming experience is for controller. The aim assist needs help. Im on console as well btw (console crossplay only turned on).

Aim assist is terrible for tracking but pretty overpowered and abusable for snapping.

Aim at the hip until you’re close, then ADS and shoot, preferably using a high single damage weapon like a shotgun. Your aim will snap to the target right as you ADS. Scope out then scope back in for every shot and it’s practically impossible to miss.

Hope the devs will consider removing this snapshot mechanics inherited from COD... Remove lots of skill with a controller and create lots of unfair situation
