Aim Assist - Change of Tracking Direction - Very Simple Example ➡️⬅️ Common occurrence, but rare you get _gameplay_ clips that can't be hand-waved away otherwise. I got little chance to react here, but you can put 2+2 together & see they would not have "escaped" otherwise :)

Debunking this "Tip" 🚨 The setting is just a more granular, alternative way to set your sens, *instead of* using the usual 1-20 numbers. Replicated what Zyro did in his clip, using same sens as him, 12-12:

Player Outlines still require aiming at the player 🎯 Hope people try them out before jumping to conclusions - they are not anti-"camper/tactical" or "look at me". But they *do* help you see what you're shooting at, which helps everyone, and leaves fights less to chance/AA.

Interesting feature of Apex's Aim Assist 🤔 While AA is generally very similar to COD's, at point-blank range you basically get ZERO AA/Rotational AA. Never considered this design/balance choice. (Forgive me if this is common knowledge in Apex).

Tip in feeling long-range AA 💡 Now and then, don't even try to lead shots, and watch the smooth path of the tracers as they follow the enemy's trajectory. Sometimes, you can literally glue your crosshair onto a point on the target. I'm average - if I can do it, you can too.

To clarify, the point of this demo is what Zyro suggests doesn't do anything, as he doesn't leave it on Custom, and just goes back to the preset value he was using. It's not a different setting - it's an optional way to enter a more precise "Custom" value for the *same* setting.

New test setup? 🔧🧪 Aim Assist vs Right Stick ("stickiness"). Benefit: Crosshair starts at a fixed point - it can't rotate further upwards. So, easier to start the test consistently vs a horiz test. Can then compare the time it takes to return to vertical 🤔

Interested to see what the crazy mantle-speed in #MW3 does to Aim Assist clip wackiness. Could become killcam bait. Slide-to-Standing doesn't pull taysh, but the Mantle part does, so I'm a bit on the fence how wild this would look if they were a bit more centered.
