Apex Legends Season 22 is slated to receive several changes in the upcoming Season 22 update, including removing aim flinch. Aim flinch, otherwise known as bullet punch, is a mechanic that can suddenly increase your recoil kick when shot by enemies. Reddit user u/A_aAyy highlighted the possibility of the entire player base seeing a sudden increase in accuracy during gunfights and said:
“If aim flinch is removed won't the whole player base have better aim than before. When you go into firing range then practice your aim then go to a match the practice doesn't fully translate because you don't practice the flinch you get when players shoot back but now it can fully translate and you hit more shots and also potentially increasing the whole player base accuracy I'm not saying this was a bad change I hated aim flinch and wanted it to be removed but just notifying that next season we gonna see a lot of one clips”

This discussion is a logical assumption that could improve the gameplay experience for the community. With the removal of the aim flinch mechanic, Apex Legends players can fully commit to gunfights while incorporating recoil control practices and not having to compensate for sudden gun kicks.

The user then concluded the post by stating that Season 22 will likely see a rise in kill counts as players can spray an entire magazine more accurately to score eliminations.

Reddit user u/QuantityExcellent338 supported the upcoming change and cited that this will balance the battlefield as players will have a chance to fight back enemies - even if they started shooting first. However, this is not applicable if the enemy team sprays down unsuspecting players before being spotted.
u/M0HAK0 shared their opinion about the upcoming change, saying it would eliminate a crucial variable from gunfights.

u/The-Devilz-Advocate drew out a comparison where controller input users could ignore most of the aim flinch penalties due to the strength of aim-assist. However, the new change could potentially balance the playing field and give rise to a new sniper meta as these heavy weapons take a long time to Aim Down Sight (ADS) for accurate shots.

Another Reddit user u/ArigatoMaeve commented and agreed that the Season 22 change can help create a fair battlefield for Mouse and Keyboard (MnK) users against Controllers. u/Doritos_Burritos also highlighted that the addition of health bars would affect the flow of team fights as tracking and spotting enemies should become easier - once they are shot.
Apex Legends Season 22 gunplay changes likely to decrease controller users
The developers recently announced that Apex Legends will no longer have aim flinch mechanics. Moreover, the reduction of aim assist strength for PC lobbies might provide Mouse and Keyboard users with an edge over Controller players. Both these factors combined with MnK users’ ability to perform various movement techniques might result in an input shift for the player base.
That said, there is no method to determine the impact of these changes before Season 22 goes live for Apex Legends. However, the community has highlighted that the upcoming update can potentially improve the overall gameplay experience for MnK players.
