Ever since Fortnite released and allowed cross-play in the battle royale mode, fans have been debating whether or not controller players have an advantage when it comes to aim assist and other aspects of the game. Controller players are given aim assist in-game, where it appears as if they lock-on to enemies much easier than keyboard and mouse users \u2013 with professionals like Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney claiming that it could spell disaster for the popular title if it isn\u2019t adjusted. However, after hopping back and forward between PC and PS4, NICKMERCS has explained why its better on console than PC. The popular streamer made his name as one of the best controller players in the scene, first off sticking with a console before switching to a PC. Though, for the PS4 Celebration Cup, he switched back to the faithful Sony system. After plucking a player out of mid-air with an early game kill in his warm-up matches, NICKMERCS quickly explained his thoughts on aim assist. \u201cI\u2019ll tell you what, if people be talking about like the aim assist is stronger on f**king PC, I don\u2019t know man,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know what it is, it is just easier to move on PC man, like, it\u2019s easier to play the game but that grip, that like f**king grip on the character, goddamn, s**t feels strong as f**k.\u201d However, the former Gears of War player noted that it is \u201call situational\u201d because some players use the L2 trigger to snap on to enemies at distance, but that isn\u2019t wholly helpful when you\u2019re in a boxfight or someone is closing the distance between you. Of course, there will probably never be an end to the debate around aim assist until Epic Games drops some sort of tweaks to the mechanic \u2013 though they don\u2019t appear to be planning on that any time soon. Players on both sides of the argument will still hold their own opinions regardless, but it might be best to experience both as Nick has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS explains why Fortnite console aim assist is stronger than PC NICKMERCS\/Microsoft\/Epic GamesPopular Fortnite streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has explained why aim assist is actually stronger on console compared to PC despite complaints about it being the other way around.
