Aim assist in Fortnite remains controversial.

One feature that helped new players get a leg up in Battle Royale was aim-assist, which was made possible by the game’s controller and touch functionality. However, the PC players caused an uproar by claiming the said feature was unfair to them.

A divide has existed in the community between those who prefer to use a controller and those who prefer to use a keyboard and mouse ever since. If you’re on a PC, mobile, or console and aren’t sure which aim-assist settings to use, these are the finest options.
