Warzone aim assist is so strong it counters speed hackers & players can’t believe it
ActivisionWarzone players have been left gobsmacked as speed hackers have started to meet their match, in the form of controller players with aim assist. Now, they’re using it to demand controller nerfs once again.
The aim assist debate has been once that’s raged in multiplayer shooter games ever since cross-platform play first started getting popular, forming a divide between mouse and keyboard players and their controller counterparts.
Many mouse and key players believe that aim assist gives controller users an unfair advantage and, with this clip that’s starting to go viral, it looks like they might have a point.
As shown, when coming up against speed hackers zipping around Vondel like The Flash, streamer Falnets, who plays on controller, had little trouble tracking the cheaters’ movements and getting the finish on them, much to the bemusement of M&K players.
It didn’t take long for the clips to start gaining traction, much of it from mouse and keyboard players who couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
In the comments, some players suggest that the game is a “joke” because rotational aim assist can keep up with the player so easily, while others even compared it to “legalized cheating.”
“If you still think COD rotational aim assist is fair and balanced after this clip, you’re not allowed to complain about audio tweaks EVER again,” said content creator Westie. “Guy is trying to fight speed hackers and the AA still doesn’t let go! This is insane.”
Obviously, this has raised some questions from players over whether aim assist is even more overpowered than they first anticipated, as technically you wouldn’t expect anybody to be able to follow a speed hacker in this manner.
While the bigger issue in the game is, of course, the abundance of hackers, this has caused a stir that could get some controller players to reconsider whether aim assist maybe is a little stronger than they initially thought.
