The Twitch streamer DrDisrespect is excited about the aim assist in Call of Duty: Warzone. He even takes out his opponents blind and demonstrates the power of this feature.
This is what DrDisrespect tested: Normally, the streamer does not use a controller in Warzone, but this time he connected his controller and wanted to test the difference.
He noticed a significant difference due to the aim assist. DrDisrespect found it easier to eliminate his opponents with the controller and even achieved a blind kill to demonstrate the strength of the aim assist.
By the way, DrDisrespect is still very active in battle royale, although he regularly criticizes things and recently made 4 suggestions for improvement.
Aim Assist Helps DrDisrespect Achieve a Blind Kill
This is what he says about the mechanic: In the stream, DrDisrespect was asked what he thinks about aim assist after playing for some time with the controller.
He replied that it feels like a magnetic field around the target. He feels that the flinch effect (the reaction of his character to being hit) is less intense due to the assist. This way, he can maintain better control and has an advantage in firefights compared to players without aim assist.
Here he impresses: DrDisrespect then demonstrates again how strong the aim assist really is. In another clip, he first takes out an enemy who hits him a few times and then says, “I don’t even have to look at the guy […] once I’m on him, I don’t have to worry anymore.”.
He demonstrates this with another enemy, whom he hears and suspects is about to come around the corner. He aims at the enemy and then looks away.
Even though his opponent is moving, the streamer can still aim. He executes his “no-look kill” and feels confirmed in his analysis.
Why is it suddenly so easy? DrDisrespect usually plays CoD Warzone with mouse and keyboard. Aiming is indeed faster here, but there is no aim assist.
To ensure that controller players do not have a huge disadvantage, there is aim assist here. It keeps the aim somewhat steady on the target, and those who are especially used to aiming with a mouse and keyboard noticeably feel a significant difference.
These settings can help you: Anyone who adjusts their settings in the game can also gain some advantages. You can set your sound settings to hear footsteps louder and thus anticipate enemies better.
But you can also adjust a lot in the aim assist to take advantage of it optimally. We have summarized that in an article and also debunked all myths surrounding the mechanic. So if you want to play effectively with aim assist, you should take a look.
