The latest Fortnite update has left players scratching their heads. The patch notes added in the V.31.20 include changes to aim assist are confusing and difficult to understand for players. Players are wondering if these changes are a buff or a nerf. Are you ready to point and shot and attain #1 Victory Royale?
This article will focus on the Fortnite V.31.20’s Human-like Aim Assist Update. What are the changes in game, the issues, how this would affect the players gameplay.
Changes to Aim Assist Settings
There is no actual change in the setting or “new settings” if you go to the settings in-game. This new Aim Assist update does not affect your build or edit sensor sensitivity. With that being said, this update put out some set of pros and cons to the players. In addition to that, the new update is both good and bad for some of the players who play Fortnite.
The developers have buffed long distance and ADS sensitivity, and unfortunately, they’ve also affected Hip-Fire Aim. This update has made gameplay a bit trickier, especially for those who use ARs, SMGs, and other spray weapons in the game.
Impact on Players Performance
As aforementioned, this update has a negative and a positive effect. The aspect wherein this update can be called good is that their long range aims have improved, but this modification nerfed the close ranges. But one thing to keep in mind to this update is that the aim update is not going to make the easy shots harder or vice versa.
Those who use exploitation mode say their aim has gotten bad when this update came about, but maybe it is a simple skill issue. Which could result in adjusting and competitive meta could evolve to favor different skills.
Adapting to the New System
To adapt to the new system of aiming in Fortnite, we must keep in mind that removing the previous superhuman-like aiming assist, makes this new version a lot better, even superior in a way. This new system makes everything so much more fun and it also makes the competitive integrity in-game more thrilling!
The feel may be different from the previous versions, but Fortnite found it to be more efficient and fair if they removed the so-called “superhuman-like” aim assist feature, and so they’ve added human-like aim.
In what way is it fair? For every player there is. Before this human-like aim assist feature was put into the game, it was a bit tricky and a hassle for players who use controllers. Meanwhile those who played on PC found no problem at all and therefore, there was already an imbalance.
Conclusion: Looking Ahead
For players who haven’t experienced playing on controllers, can now experience those struggles that console players go through. It can help utilize a stability between players and avoid the division of the PC vs. Controller players with the new update.
The key objective of this update is to build an even and inclusive gaming environment in which a player’s strategy and skill are more important than their choice of input device.
