DUST Search - Aim Assist feels entirely too helpful

aim assist on DUST 514 is very low compared to destiny. destiny makes it feel invisible sometimes though unless you examine it closely.

DUST 514 has different aim sensitivities for many weapons which can make the aiming weird. aim assist helps make aiming smooth. it also allows you to focus on positioning and tactics rather than 100% focus on your aim.

when DUST514 had no aim assist, it was much harder to kill brick tanked proto veteran guys even if you ambushed them from behind because you usually missed them 40% of the time because the tools we use (joysticks) can be hard to use for precision aiming sometimes. aim assist helps newbs and veterans have a smaller gun game performance difference so that the other mechanics of the game like damage profiles and the huge difference in health from militia to proto gear does not overwhelm the new players.

the aim assist is necessary and is just as strong as it was in chromosome, just with some tweaks, making it perform as intended in more situations compared to the chromosome patch in 2013.

Free your mind, break your shackles..... In other words....stop being a gorram metasheeple.

Its an odd dichotomy. You have to have your sensitivity low enough that it is almost impossible to fight it without jerking the stick fast. Stick with seventy and below. Dude, I keep my sensitivity at 40. Explain that schtako to me. I'd go keyboard+trackball for that fineass precision but it seems to make hit detection wonky and just feels wrong. Back in Chromosome KBM was fine. Smooth, aimed well and I could actually hit ** and I was using a **** $10 usb mouse. My trackball should be sexy as hell but just ends up jittery, so I stick with the sticks. Free your mind, break your shackles..... In other words....stop being a gorram metasheeple.

I agree, destiny has far greater AA, but even without it the aiming is smooth. In dust it feels like you're fighting the controller just to get a bead on someone at times. Also the frequency in which it kicks in is weird. There have been times where i've ADS at a corner, redberry runs by and it starts tracking, others I manually put the dot (Scrambler user primarily, most the AScR) on someone and literally nothing happens. Not even a kneejerk. Part of this has to do with range obviously and the weapon as you mentioned, but shouldn't it function all the way out to the optimal range of all weapons? Does it? Things I don't know. Being a PC gamer by nature, it's instinct to auto correct once you get LoS, especially when people do the ballerina strafe. Sticks don't offer the same fine tuned precision of a mouse/trackball and AA is there to help compensate, but punishes that PC gamer instinct. I just find it odd is all Free your mind, break your shackles..... In other words....stop being a gorram metasheeple.

Dude, I keep my sensitivity at 40. Explain that schtako to me. +1 just for the Defiance reference! On topic though, I have my settings to default. I have no problems with it, though I usually play fps games without AA. If it's possible to turn it off, I may do just that. Thanks, I was actually one of the people who bought the damn game before it went F2P. You can turn AA off but it doubles as a bandaid for hit detection, so yeah.
