The Finals Developer Embark Studios Nerfs Aim Assist in Response to Player Feedback

The changes, which aim to level the playing field between controller and mouse and keyboard players, have been praised by the gaming community.

Embark Studios, the developer of the game The Finals, has released a patch that nerfs aim assist, a feature that has been criticized for giving controller players an unfair advantage over mouse and keyboard players.
The patch reduces camera magnetism from 50% to 35%, lowers zoom snapping time, and removes zoom snapping from certain weapons. It also prevents aim assist from targeting invisible players and blocks access to aim assist for clients running key re-mapping programs on PC.
The changes were made after an in-depth review of how aim assist works, and the developer plans to continue testing the adjustments.
Players have praised Embark Studios for its swift response to the community's feedback and for its transparency about the changes.
Meanwhile, players of other games, such as Apex Legends and Call of Duty, are calling on their respective developers to follow Embark Studios' example and address aim assist issues in their games.
