Shipped a thing in Fortnite today called "human-like aim assist". I've been wanting to do something like this for a loooooong time!
An immense amount of internal testing went into making sure this was fit for launch -- aim assist changes are never made lightly.
But my hope is this helps us significantly improve the game's balance across different input types.
@JibbSmart Feels that this will help players on platforms without a mouse or Gyro-enabled controller, like Xbox, all its derivatives (Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, Epic Games, etc streaming service) and some budget mobile phones.
But mouse and gyro players won't notice, will they? #Fortnite #AimAssist #gyroaiming
@DaMu That's right, no direct impact for mouse and gyro since they don't have aim assist.
There's an indirect impact, though, since players of all control types can come up against each other
