CoD: Vanguard players claim Cold Blooded has \u201cbroken\u201d aim assist ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard players claim aim assist is \u201ccompletely broken\u201d following the Season 1 update, and they\u2019re desperate for change. When it comes to first-person shooters, aim assist has always been a controversial topic, especially as we\u2019re seeing cross-platform play introduced more and more. The mechanic is meant to level the playing field between controller players and those on keyboard and mouse, but it\u2019s always a hot button issue. Some PC players have likened it to a \u2018legal aimbot\u2019, while some controller players believe it doesn\u2019t go far enough. In the case of CoD: Vanguard, aim assist has been a slight issue since the game first launched on November 5. Console players have repeatedly called for change, but now, after the Vanguard Season 1 update, it appears to be in its worst state yet. Plenty of controller players have bemoaned the issue across social media since the big update, with some claiming it \u201ccompletely broken\u201d and the game is \u201cunplayable\u201d until it\u2019s addressed. \u201cIt\u2019s totally screwed up,\u201d commented Redditor P_Wood. \u201cGunfights have felt so inconsistent since the last update, hope they can get it fixed,\u201d added another player. While there have been some suggestions that aim assist has been stealth nerfed by Sledgehammer Games, it appears the issue links to player name tags \u201cflickering\u201d in-game. According to Redditor MGrad, aim assist \u201cseems to turn itself off in relation to whether an enemy name tag is visible or not.\u201d They noted they\u2019ve tested it in private and public lobbies with similar outcomes in both \u2013 if the name tag is not visible, there is no snap-on from aim assist. If the issue is related to name tag, as it appears it is, that would make Cold Blooded invaluable as a counter to controller players. The perk reduces the distance as to which a name tag is visible, so you\u2019d get the jump on aim assist users. Though, we\u2019ll have to wait and see what the developers do to address things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
