Battlefield 6's Aim-Assist Is "Very Light"

The article discusses the aim-assist feature in the upcoming Battlefield 6 game. The developer, Battlefield 6 senior combat designer Matthew Nickerson, has claimed that the aim-assist will be "very light" compared to other FPS games like Call of Duty, which is known for its more pronounced aim-assist system. Nickerson mentioned that the team has developed a new setup called "Aim Assist 2.0," which is an evolution of the aim-assist system used in Battlefield 2042. The new system focuses on improving consistency and performance, and it removes the "snap zoom" feature that was present in 2042, as the team believed it was too mechanically heavy. The goal of the aim-assist in Battlefield 6 is to assist the player without taking control away from them. Nickerson emphasized that the player's input is required to activate the system, and they should feel like they achieved the kills themselves, not the system. The article also mentions that a battle royale mode is in development for Battlefield 6, which is expected to launch on October 28, while the main game is set to release on October 10 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
