Apex Legends players ecstatic over Season 22\u2019s \u201cuncanny\u201d aim flinch change Apex Legends \/ Respawn EntertainmentRespawn released the early patch notes for Season 22, and players have been drawn to one major change that has them ecstatic to hop back into the game: Aim flinch has been almost entirely removed. Season 22 will introduce a host of new content and mechanics like akimbo versions of weapons and aim assist changes. However, the update players have honed in on the most is the near-total removal aim flinch. Before these changes, players hit by opposing fire would have their aim thrown off target. Considering how difficult it is to track players that understand Apex\u2019s complex movement tech, aim flinch only added to the struggle. As of Season 22, aim flinch will be no more. Players will be able to maintain their aim on an enemy regardless of whether they are receiving opposing fire. Though, it\u2019s worth noting some Legend abilities will still cause flinch. This change has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the community across social media, with players praising Respawn for the decision. \u201cThat\u2019s huge. Feels uncanny not having flinch after all this time,\u201d one player said on Reddit. \u201cThis is an incredible QOL change,\u201d another said in response to the flinch change. Mouse and keyboard players were the most excited about the change. Aim flinch was especially prominent for those users, as they weren\u2019t afforded the same level of help from aim assist as those using controllers. \u201cAim assist always helped correct the flinch but mnk we were bouncing all over the place,\u201d Apex content creator Noko explained on social media. Paired with the general aim assist nerfs coming in this Season, the playing field has been leveled. Controller players will have a much harder time tracking the enemy than before. The Season 22 update, with its aim flinch and aim assist changes, has overshadowed some of Respawn\u2019s missteps with the Apex Legends Battle Pass. Some players have said it might be time to redownload the Battle Royale after uninstalling it in protest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
