Dominick “UnknownxArmy” Green, a Fortnite pro who made his name as one of the best controller players in the game, has weighed into the aim assist debate claiming he still has “crazy beams” even when he is not using the feature.<\/p>\n
In the past 6 months, UnknownxArmy has exploded in popularity having won a record seven Cash Cups through an aggressive playstyle called “w keying”. <\/p>\n
However, there has been a question mark over his success because he uses a controller, with many claiming his ability to aggressively push opponents in 1v1’s using the legacy controller settings give him an unfair advantage.<\/p>\n
Meant to make aiming easier for controller players, aim assist has been a contentious issue in competitive Fortnite – with PC players claiming it effectively acts as an aimbot for controller players.<\/p>\n
In leaked private messages between UnknownxArmy and The Fortnite Guy dated 19 February and reposted on \/r\/Fortnitecompetitive<\/a>, Unknown weighed into the debate around aim assist.<\/p>\n In the exchange, UnknownxArmy says he doesn’t “really have much of an opinion on aim assist”. He went onto say, “It’s not aim assist that’s broken, it’s analogue, and even then it’s just a little better than keyboard and mouse”.<\/p>\n Many keyboard and mouse players, and even controller players, would laugh at this suggestion – with many feeling the legacy controller settings is a borderline aimbot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nerf legacy — Alex🍀 (@AlexxBtw) February 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
