The Finals community thinks it’s a “massive W” and wants “Embark to stick to the guns with these changes” as they are “amazing!”
For players using a controller on PC, “the aim assist will be slightly less sticky and the zoom snap won’t be as aggressive and not present on the burst damage weapons.” This patch also targets players using exploits on PCs to use aim assist for unfair advantages.
