In a highlights clip posted by FNSpotlight on YouTube, Ninja and SypherPK discuss the topic of Aim assist in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 in detail.

Sypher begins by saying:

The aim assist is not what it was, it's like a lot more balanced . They nerfed the SMG's and AR's, it's 1.5 headshot multiplier , there's no more strong SMG's anymore, like they're all way weaker than the old ones but they also did like adjust aim assist .

I'm of the theory that aim assist will either be too weak or too strong ..I don't really think you can find a perfect balance and right now it's like on the weaker side of things.

To this, Ninja replies:

On PC, that's where it should be , bro if you want full-strength aim assist , go play on your Xbox and Playstations.

Sypher backs up his point by elaborating further on the current state of Aim assist in Fortnite:

I don't see a lot of people complaining about what they're working with right now ..I've seen very less complaints about aim assist's strength or or weakness which probably means it's in a decent spot .

Ninja eventually sums up their discussion with the following points:

I want controller players to be able to play the game at the top level where it's not broken right, where it's not dumb , where you just can't hit shots but like it is such a crutch , it's like such a f******g advantage. Next gen players should be competing against Xbox or Playstation, PC needs its own lobby.
