Battlefield 6 developers have spoken about ‘Aim Assist 2.0’ and stated that Aim Assist will be ‘very light’.
Several new details about Battlefield 6 have surfaced recently, including EA confirming that there is no console-only crossplay mode. We also recently learned about the buildup of mud and blood on weapons. Now, the developers have spoken about aim assist, and it seems that it won’t be as evident in BF6, compared to previous titles in the series.
Battlefield 6 Developers Talk About Aim Assist 2.0
During a new interview with Well Played (via GameSpot), senior combat designer Matthew Nickerson elaborated on Battlefield 6’s aim assist. Nickerson stated that they are aiming for a fair, competitive, and balanced approach, which brings them to Aim Assist 2.0. The aim assist has evolved from what we saw in Battlefield 2042. There are no hit boxes, squares, or spheres anymore; instead, they now feature real-time renders, which incorporate “capsule-oriented meshes for aim assist.”
Battlefield 6 developers confirm that they are “going very light with aim assist.” There is no rotational aim assist, and snap zoom from 2042 has been removed. The developers’ goal is to humanise aim assist, where the feature is there to ‘assist’, but the player input is required to activate the system. They want players to feel that their achievements came from their own effort, not some “system or code” that did it for them.
In other news, Battlefield 6 has revealed a rock-centric soundtrack, which includes singles from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Limp Bizkit, and more. Also, new Operation Firestorm gameplay has surfaced online. What are your thoughts on Battlefield 6 featuring very light aim assist? Let us know through the official Insider Gaming forums discussion.
