As a console player, the aim assist doesnt lock on the target, only helps you to stay the aim on target. And this guy locks in the enemy

[@sushiroll3795]

Yeah, the sudden flicks are a dead giveaway that it's an aimbot. Aim assist decreases your turning speed as your crosshair passes over someone, while this person's sensitivity seems to increase when their crosshair passes over someone.

[@unaadachi772]

As a fellow console player, I can second this. I have my aim assist on and even with my sens at max my camera still moves pretty slow, so it helps. And I can tell you it does NOT lock on target like that at all

@@ggchad3739 Yeah, i saw a warzone player on youtube showing everyone how he does exactly that, on console, using Xim Apex with an aim and no recoil script injected.

Of course he's going to think it's aim assist if he doesn't even know what aim assist looks like. It's called ignorance, and far too many PC players are (unfortunately) ignorant when it comes to how aim assist works on a console, let alone Xim apex/cronus/strike pack etc, that lets you inject scripts to boost the aim assist to high heavens.

​@@Htiy that drag from aim assist can mess so many shots up

[@olik136]

that is just not true. Most games have active tracking while shooting and a "snap on" function that homes in on the enemy when you press the ADS button. It only works when you move the joystick in some direction- that is why in some games you can trick the game by very slightly moving the joystick and then just use a mouse on top of that. I don't know what the aim assist on console OW does in particular and how strong it is- but it will be more sophisticated than just slowing the speed down.

I know you said you're not as familiar with Overwatch's aim assist, but... as a first-day veteran on console, the aim assist is NOTHING like this. It's more like a friend strongly urging you to aim better over your shoulder with verbal encouragement and sometimes trying to pull the controller away from you mid match, and also usually impairs aim more than anything. Fun fact, it sometimes breaks to have it set to actual "zero" so players like myself would set it as low as possible above 0, but keep it practically off.

[@Pes._]

Yea when i reached masters after the massive controller settings update that changed console OW. I lowered that shit down to .2 or some shit for the AA spot and deadzone at like .5 but any mild brained console player should be doing that

I havent played on console since like season 23 so i cant remember the nuance of the control schemes it mainly comes down to low Aim assist cause this game has poopoo aim assist and low deadzones cause obviously you wanna move the stick with the same force and distance and get the same movement in game.

[@isaiah5833]

3:07 I think how it works, from experience, is that when your looking at an enemy, the game sort of slows down your sensitivity, making it easier to land shots. However it can be a burden at times, cause it also somewhat follows the player, and will try to lock on in between 2 players if they are too close to one another.

[@LateCloser]

I have no idea how Flats can be confused about him cheating or not. People miss. This guy didn't miss A SINGLE TARGET. Not once! Yet, he couldn't move around the map without running in to walls and having difficulty. The only thing he didn't do, was get head shots non-stop; which is probably intentional to avoid cheating accusations.

Flats isn’t confused about whether or not he’s cheating though? He literally says he is even during the tracer play, then proves it with the Bap gameplay.

As a console player this isn't how aim assist works. It helps with tracking but unless the enemy is literally moving like a snail. Aim assist does little to help with actual aim. This is 100% more than just simple console aim assist.

[@agua414]

Aim assist is sort of like aim smoothing. So on a certain range when moving the thumbstick the aim stays relatively mellow and smooth movements but when you push it to the max right or left then the speed kicks on. That’s what I’ve noticed. Sometimes you get pulling too from quick moving targets which can be annoying.

[@iron2291]

Aim assist in overwatch drags your cross hair slightly depending on the velocity of the target within the aim assist window and the distance from you are from them as well as slowing down your sensitivity while your crosshair is over an enemy. That's now what aim assist looks like.

[@professionalnoob5474]

The first game reeks of a guy who is basically trying to "ethically cheat" by only turning the cheats up to console-like. Which is incredibly odd. It's weirdly interesting because it kind of shows how 'some' levels of aim assist can influence games. I agree with Flats that it's most likely a self-imposed challenge. The second game only further provides evidence that blizzard's "Defense Matrix" is garbage. Which, now that we know PvE has been internally cancelled for awhile makes this outlandish cheating not being caught by the "Defense Matrix" even more laughable. Hard locking more than 3 times should be immediately figured out and banned, let alone dozens of times in less than 30 seconds. in multiple games. Yet here we are.

[@nanobotkemo]

Flats an easy tip for you to tell if a game is console or PC is the strafe speed. U can strafe side to side faster on PC than console. The directional change is must faster. Also side note there is a lot of ways to cheat while using a controller. There is the side you're use to seeing is third party programs on the PC changing the input then there is the more direct ones that act as a middle man between controller and device called cronos zen that modifies input before it reaches the device. There is also another device called a cronos strike pack that can be plugged into the controller itself acts similarity to the zen as a man in the middle device. Based on the video it appears he is using a trigger bot that will adjust aim as soon as trigger is depressed

[@KogaHarine]

This only applies to any other game than OW though. OW doesn't have movement acceleration like other FPS games. The transition from standing to running is instant so on console you can definitely AD strafe if you are good at flicking the controller left and right at a decent pace. Especially if you fine tune your controller settings to make deadzones smaller so the transition is instant like it would be on KB. I use steam input to customize my settings for deadzones and even added a trigger dampening effect for my gyro aiming so when I'm actually shooting it slows my reticle down for better control.

[@nanobotkemo]

[@halewolf3800]

I play on PS5 and the way Aim Assist works is that it basically adds a scalable window over the enemy's hitbox. While your crosshairs are inside the window, your aim sensitivity will be reduced by like 30% at max strength. Another thing Aim Assist does is that if you only use your movement joystick without interacting with the aim joystick, and your crosshairs hit an Aim Assist window, your crosshairs will slightly "stick" to the window, making it look like it's locking onto the target, but even at max strength, it's not as crazy as it is with this guy. In fact, your crosshairs will only tilt like 15° at full strength and at point blanc, which means that the tilt is much weaker the further away your target is, so it's not even that strong to begin with. Unless you do micromovements like "shimmying", which aren't enough to move your "window" away from the enemy's crosshairs and therefore messing up their Aim Assist which forces them to use the aim joystick which then cancels the slight "lock on" feature, a console player should never be locking onto you like this 😉

I didn't agree with it either at first, but the more I think about it, if done right, it could be the thing to make OWL stand out from all the other esports leagues.

[@ironCondor623]

somebody in OWL using a controller won't make them "competitively relatable", they're still in the top fraction of a percent of players

[@seraphina1724]

11:47 it's already established that this isn't aim assist BUT fun fact: aim assist does work on teammates and it can actually be a HUGE detriment if you're playing characters like Ana on console because your crosshair can get stuck on a teammate when you're aiming for an enemy and vice versa. It's why I always have aim assist off when I play her (and very low otherwise)

[@fairandbright]

Flats, at the start of the second game: Do you know how I know this is the same guy? Me, nodding sagely: Yes, because he's duoing with Ashen again. Flats: He's still on the controller. Me: Oh. Or that. Seriously wondering if anyone from chat noticed that he was duoing and probably boosting Ashen.

[@TheAdarkerglow]

Okay, so having used Aim Assist on Consoles to play FPS such as Destiny 1 and 2 and Overwatch, it doesn't lock onto a target, it accelerates the movement towards a target already within a certain proximity of the reticle, and slows it as the reticle nears and inevitably stops over the target. This can actually cause momentary 'drag' in the aiming if two targets cross one over the other, or for the target to lag slightly behind a target you're trying to lead, but it also means that a target can't just juke left then right and watch you overturn in either direction.

[@purplegamers7]

Also I love how the recent couple of videos have been kinda poop related, he either starts the video of having to go poop, or in the middle of a video has to go poop, or ends the video of going to go poop.

[@onib4]

i'm like, 99% sure that i also played with this dude on bap... he was ranked pretty high on tank and dps but was doing placements for support... he carried the team and my duo q couldn't tell if he was just better than us or aimbotting...

[@gavinatorthegr835]

A nice way to explain overwatch aimassist is that it more so helps you not over shot your target. For example go to the training range and spin around, you'll notice on console you slow down, not lock onto any enemies. It's not the best bet it can help in some ways. Now this, is not ow aim assist. This locks onto people. Not only that imo it also looks weird af the way they aim, just doesn't look right

[@DatMageDoe]

Those Bap windows remind me of when I first learned Bap, except instead of one badly placed window before the lesson is learned, it’s every single window and the lesson goes ignored.

[@AROH-]

9:21 Seems like Flats missed the quick adjustments here on the Genji. That's when I knew for sure.

[@aidanocallaghan169]

The window mess up wasn't because he messed up his correction. Placing it is the same button as shoot, so when he clicked to place it, the hack locked onto an enemy and placed it there instead.

[@BrinyBicycle]

its so funny that it’s possible that he was in a group with Ashen, the tank from the second game and the kiriko from the first

[@karamei]

He 100% was grouped with Ashen and potentially the Moira on Midtown. I was the enemy Mercy and checked.

[@Yuusfw]

Im a console player (nintendo switch lite) Even when aim assist on, you still have to aim. but for some reason people thinks that the aim assist locks on targets. no it doesnt. whoever locks on targets and says is aim assist, is lying and rage hacking.

[@TheScienceNerd100]

Tbf, it would be nice to have the score board for the match at the very least, at the end of the replay. But having it throughout the replay to reference would be lovely.

[@medumbdumb]

Bruh when i first played bap i was playing just like this guy shooting the ground and hoping for the best 😂💀

[@TheHorseWhoKnows]

5:25 this kill right here if he’s on controller is absolutely a confirmation because controller acceleration isn’t nearly fast enough to get a flick like that not to mention the tracking right after

[@Philosophy-Gaming]

>says "I'm all for representation" >has no clue how console aim assist works

[@Alexander-nc2qg]

That was probably the only cheater I could empathise with. For a player to willingly use a controller on a PC FPS, they need all the help they can get. Especially when their controller is obviously broken and they can't even walk or jump properly. Such a sad story.

[@SpeedBumpJ]

This video does not leave me with a bad mouth taste. 9/10 :D

[@benjaminwilliams1484]

Dk if anyone else has mentioned it but the Ashen guy was Kiri in the first game and Rein in the second so they could've possibly been a duo?

[@owlbearnecessities6026]

I play controller on PC, couldn't figure out for the longest time why aiming felt different, realized therrs no aim assist on PC, still play controller. If I went back to aim assist now, I'd be unstoppable.

[@mathgeniuszach]

The reason for higher aim assist on console is to combat the inability of players to move in fine-grained motion on a stick with a deadzone and high sensitivity. This tends to be very minute and only to provide support in places where if you moved the stick at all you'd overshoot the target. This is much stronger.

[@hudsonorton7356]

There’s no way he said it was hard to tell in the first point

[@xtrem5428]

I've seen some players who swear by controllers and somehow can't handle playing shooters with a mouse, so I'm not surprised to see one cheater using a controller once in a while.

[@Colm1800]

as someone whos looked through the code of blops 1&2 and compared the aim assist values to modern COD games, i can tell you for certain theyve cranked it up a shitload, blops had about a 30% assist and a slight player ads soft lock, warzone has about a 70% and a harder player lock when you ads

[@Slightly_Decent]

Seeing people genuinely think this is what aim assist is in overwatch genuinely makes me laugh and get pissed off at the same time. I can't speak for apex and I'm sure it's different than overwatch but jesus christ overwatch aim assist doesn't allow you to lock on to every target you look at. This guy's camera movements are way too jerky and it just happens to flick as soon as he starts pulling the trigger? This is just obvious cheats. Whether you agree with Flats that aim assist is "legal cheats" or not is a different debate, but can we just all agree over the fact that it's not some "I win" button? Someone with shit aim is still going to get stomped with aim assist just like shit players with aimbot will still get fucked because of their poor game sense and positioning.

[@GlitchedOut_]

Frr lmao

[@caffinatedredpanda9964]

Aim assist has a constant ramp down while it's active. And the farther away the center of the reticle is from the target, the less pull if gives.

[@jeverydk]

He looks down and looks like playing on a controller, to prevent the hack to auto track targets through walls.

[@MichaelSherrick]

The best way to describe aim assist is that it's similar to mouse acceleration but instead of the distance traveled being proportional to mouse speed, it's proportional to the distance from a target (with a threshold). In other words, when your crosshair is near a target, it goes at 0.5 sensitivity (example), when you're not as near but still within the assist threshold and moving toward the target, it goes at 1.5 sensitivity (again, example)

[@EmoTheElephant]

amazing how many times this guy died on bap with his literal "can't die" button unpressed lmao

[@mlold]

9:22 you can see them insta lock onto the genji

[@fearalice]

On the topic of controller aim assist on pc call of duty, i can confirm that at least in BO3 plugging a controller in applied a healthy layer of glue to your crosshairs. With no input from the controller, it will follow the movements of the player under crosshair. You can move beyond it's reach but it was bad. And that was a few duties ago.

[@MrMacdaddymcfly]

For everyone on PC complaining about console aim assist there are just as many console players complaining about PC recoil control/flicks/ and 180s. Games like Battlefield only have aim assist out to certain ranges so getting beamed by PC players that have better percision and recoil control is hella annoying.

[@RealWorldGaming]

The low sens for the tracer was throwing me off genuinely

[@ChazWalsh]

I swear that Bap was trying to heal his enemies more than his teammates xD

[@greywind243]

I think 7:44 is my giveaway mark for it. Tracking completely flips at the exact same velocity the torb is moving right after he had blinked and been going pretty decently (what looks like his max in tracer vid) the other way.

[@R0UGE122]

I've reported 4 or 5 hanzos and widows who got more than consistent headshots, and blizzard actually gave me a message saying they banned someone because I reported them, so when in doubt, just report them for cheating

[@shadowkras]

He was flicking up and down on the first 2 minutes of the match. Thats a big red flag right there.
