Am also on XBOX Series X. First game of session, playing TDM, no aim assist at all. Other times the game is literally trying to wrench my crosshair onto a running enemy, I can feel the aim assist fighting me. The inconsistency is the worst part.

Situation has not improved. Still wildly inconsistent, still seems to be affecting only a subset of players, sometimes it's non-existent, sometimes I have to fight to drag it off a downed player so I can engage an actual target.

Going to keep banging this drum. First game of play session, Control. No apparent aim assist at all, while other players clearly have it functioning.
Edit: It is hard to overstate how unfair this feels and how infuriating this is. I and many others have been slapped with a massive handicap that clearly isn't affecting everyone.

Ive been in the firing range fighting aim assist for 2 hours now!!! Evertime i try and catch the bot moving left or right close to him the aim assisr is pushing my aim so i am short everytime trying to shoot as he sways back and fourth... then i put my aim on him and gun moves but then stops after a while like aim assist works then stops but today I cant shoot anything... * apex!!!

@ExTiNkT91Day 1 player here. Same exact thing happening to me as well. I have all 3 systems Xbox ps5 and pc and it happens across them all. I’m fighting the aim assist more than it helping me. It cuts in and out so randomly, sometimes i can’t even kill somebody point blank standing still.
Been happening for 2 seasons now for me
absolutely for sure happening in game, NOT just in firing range

Turned on console. Loaded into Apex. Queued for Control. No aim assist for me! Enemy team clearly has it working though.

Bro I thought something was up, started testing it on the dummies. Zero aim assist over half of the time. Is this happening in matches as well? If so this needs fixed ASAP wtf how do you break aim assist in a game smh

Yes it is happening in games. Wish we had some type of communication on this as it is making me want to completely stop playing.

Tried with the new patch. Booted console, booted Apex, queued for Control. Aim assist was non-existent for me in the match that I played.
Loaded into the Firing Range to test on dummies. Aim assist is wildly inconsistent. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's totally absent, sometimes it's there for a second or two then it vanishes again.
This is all tested by equipping a weapon, not touching the right stick and seeing if there's any change in the aim as I move around dummies. Sometimes there is, more often times there's nothing.
Bottom line? Aim assist is still broken. This can't be "working as expected" and if it is, a) I personally don't think that's a great state of affairs and b) some communication on why it's so inconsistent would be appreciated, because right now this is worse than it just being off the entire time.

What is concerning is they have only adressed the firing range issues with aim assist. I have almost the same exact experience in actual games whether it be BR or Mixtape, but the Trello only mentions firing range..
