Battlefield 2042 dev confirms aim assist fix is finally coming EA \/ DICEAfter months of player complaints, Battlefield 2042 will be addressing the game\u2019s purported aim assist troubles in an upcoming update, as confirmed by the game\u2019s Community Manager. Despite the positive effect that Battlefield 2042\u2019s Season 1 Zero Hour content has had on the game, helping to overtake Halo Infinite, players are still continually being frustrated by a long-standing issue \u2013 aim assist. Whereas PC players have free aim using a mouse and keyboard, console players have less control using dual analog sticks, necessitating the inclusion of aim assist. However, Battlefield 2042 players have felt for the longest time that it feels off in the game, and after the most recent example of a fan complaint, one of the game\u2019s devs has given players some good news. Aim assist update coming to Battlefield 2042 In a Battlefield 2042 Reddit post, one player quite simply said: \u201cAiming on console is broken.\u201d Aim assist isn\u2019t designed to let players lock on with skilless ease, but it is supposed to ease some of the slower, manual aiming problems that console players face. The consensus is that BF 2042\u2019s is weak and inconsistent. The OP said: \u201cFor one, using ADS is never in the center of the screen and aiming at the enemy it always pushes you left or right and you have to spend seconds adjusting before shooting. Another problem is tracking someone running it\u2019s like the aim assist is lagging behind the enemy and moving to shoot and lead the target results in overshooting the enemy. It just feels weird.\u201d They continued: \u201cCompared to past Battlefield\u2019s shooting on console, 2042 is terrible and needs fixing. I\u2019ve adjusted every setting I can think of and it just never feels right at all.\u201d It turns out that their words were not falling on deaf ears though as Battlefield 2042\u2019s Community Manager, known as Straatford87 on Reddit, had a response. \u201cHey everyone. First, thank you for flagging the issues you experienced with aim assist, and the additional information we\u2019ve since collected from you which helped us investigate. We believe we have found the issue that was causing inconsistent behavior, and have a fix ready which is currently scheduled for the next game update. More details on the update itself will follow closer to its release. We\u2019re looking forward to your further feedback once it\u2019s in your hands.\u201d The next big Battlefield 2042 update is currently rumored for August 2022, so we expect to hear more regarding the update, and these positive fixes could further rejuvenate the game\u2019s player count.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
