Hello, dear developers!
I have an idea regarding the addition of stick deadzone emulation on the gamepad for constant aim assist activation.
Let me explain:
For a long time, I couldn't understand why aim assist works almost like an aimbot when playing with a keyboard and mouse. When I aim at an enemy while moving the crosshair with the mouse, I notice that the crosshair sticks to the target, and the aim behaves as if it's locking on. This happens for one simple reason: every time I move the mouse towards the enemy, the game detects a deadzone from the mouse. This is because, physically, a person cannot "hold" the mouse like they can with a gamepad stick, which would create smooth movement. Instead, people reposition the mouse, and during sensor movement, micro-stutters occur, which essentially form a deadzone. When you aim at an enemy and try to manually track them with the mouse, a short deadzone triggers, and aim assist resumes its work, helping you consistently track a moving target. This creates the impression that aim assist turns into an aimbot.
Unlike the mouse, when you hold a gamepad stick to one side, it creates uninterrupted movement of the crosshair without a deadzone. The deadzone only activates when you fully return the stick to the neutral position, which requires releasing it. This is why aim assist doesn't work as effectively on a gamepad. When you're aiming, the game sees that you don?t need help, as you're holding the stick, and it doesn?t detect a deadzone.
What I suggest: Add the option to set a dynamic deadzone for the right stick, with the ability to adjust the delay. For example, you could set an initial deadzone and a maximum one. Let?s say the deadzone would be triggered at 100 when the stick is tilted, but with a delay of 1 microsecond. This means that each time you move the stick, the deadzone would change from 0 to 100 every microsecond. This would create a micro-freeze of the stick, causing continuous aim assist support.
