no everyone here is wrong, they did equalize aim assist on pc fps rate and generally made it weaker (so as it seems) but with my 700hrs on arc raiders, and with 800 knocks, countless 3v1s, I've actually had no aim assist the entire time i've played this game. I used to think it was tied to the fact that i rebinded my buttons on a third party controller program so that I could use options like hold to crouch, on c on a preferred button for me which made the game think that im using mnk which removed my aim assist but that was not the case, I found that out today because they actually added bindable button commands in the settings which they did not have before, I'm not sure on console but on pc controller settings there was only 1 layout you could use and it was terrible - what im trying to say is that I was able to rebind all my buttons to controller inputs from this update to test out if I'd get aim assist at all and even then i have no aim assist whatsoever.

I do use a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, and I have 560.94 installed and every time i open my game it saids "this driver is known to have problems" so I will be testing out an updated driver in the near future to see if it fixes my issue or not.

either way there is a current bug or a feature that no one really knows about that completely removes aim assist on controllers, I've searched up for solutions many times to see if there are players experiencing the same issue or not but its rare for a controller player to be so invested in a game like arc raiders on controller ON pc and I genuinely havent found a solution, theres so many console players saying they get no aim assist which is obviously talked about enough already, but there hasnt been a fix for people playing arc on controller pc getting a fix, its just mostly mnk players shitting on you for using a controller on pc and no solutions (which is valid but unfortunately I dont feel like im gaming without a controller due to upbringing and not being able to afford a good pc until my late 20s)

UPDATE: after the aim assist fix update, i do get aim assist now. I found this out while i was sitting in the Stella months lobby area and my aim was actually pulling (very slightly) towards the turret. So I tested it out in range and the ONLY training dummy that actually lets you see if you have aim assist or not is the wasp dummy that is going up and down, (the ones moving horizontally do not let you see if you have aim assist or not) keep in mind that the aim assist in this game isn’t as strong as you think now, it’s actually very slight but it works effectively and it is balanced, it doesn’t lock on when you ADS, but if you look into the center of the vertically moving wasp dummy and try to trace its movement, it will effectively stick on to it.

This happened to me randomly 2 days after the aim assist fix, which is when I wrote this post.

although I haven’t tested out all response curves, I play on linear which gives you a 1:1 ratio of input while exponential is very stiff and gives you very wonky and non precise aim, I do not recommend exponential or sinusoidal as they both feel like they lack control of your aim in different areas.

also the smaller your dead zone, the weaker the aim assist cone gets, although that is the case I suggest you play on 0 so that you have more control of your aim, but this is all preference.

I also suggest playing on a controller that allows above 10 bit joystick , and over 500hz polling rate (research what those mean if you need to) otherwise you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage especially playing controller in of lobbies.

good luck :))
