Apex Legends devs looking to fix hybrid mouse and controller aim assist exploit RespawnFixing an extremely devastating Apex Legends exploit allowing players to use controller aim assist with a mouse and keyboard is on the developers\u2019 to-do list, but pros have doubts it\u2019ll be solved soon. Controller players that would otherwise struggle keeping up with their PC brethren in multiplayer cross-platform games such as Apex Legends benefit greatly from the aim assist tool. While aim assist has been a controversial addition to many games, there\u2019s no denying that it\u2019s needed to give controller users a fair shot when competing against the pin-point accuracy a mouse provides. That said, some Apex Legends players have been taking advantage of it, and use an exploit that gives mouse and keyboard users the power of controller aim assist. It’s been acknowledged by the dev team and they’ll look into fixing it. I have no idea how long that will take because there is definitely bigger problems to worry about right now but at least they are aware. \u2014 FURIA Jxmo (@Jxmo_1) July 4, 2021 Cloud9 Apex Legends star PVPX rallied against this exploit on Twitter, calling on Respawn to do something about it. \u201cHybrid (use of MnK + Controller at the same time) needs to be removed from Apex Legends,\u201d he said and revealed he would be contacting a dev privately to solve the problem. In a video, PVPX showed that players would tape down the left trigger on their controller while it\u2019s plugged into their PC and set their sprint bound to LT so the game would think it\u2019s permanently controller. https:\/\/twitter.com\/brandyberry_14\/status\/1411776726384979968 \u201cYou can play mouse and keyboard and it never swaps to the mouse and keyboard input. You get aim assist on mouse and keyboard,\u201d he explained while shooting at targets. \u201cDude, it\u2019s like I\u2019m aim-botting!\u201d In a follow-up tweet, he explained how the devs plan on fixing it, but didn\u2019t hold out on it being anytime soon. \u201cI have no idea how long that will take because there is definitely bigger problems to worry about right now but at least they are aware.\u201d Some of those problems include fixing DDoS attacks and hackers plaguing Titanfall, which have been ongoing for two years. In early July, a hacker hijacked Apex Legends to spread awareness of the \u201cSave Titanfall\u201d movement. It\u2019s unclear how simple of a fix this will be for the dev team, but at least they\u2019re working on finally taking care of this major integrity issue with the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
