Will there be aim assist nerf in Apex Legends Season 22?

While it remains unconfirmed by official sources, a leak sourced from data-mined files by Osvaldatore points towards a potential aim assist nerf in Apex Legends Season 22. Judging by the leaker's accuracy in the past, players believe the nerfs are actually in development for the upcoming season.

As per the data-mined files, the aim assist magnet, which was 0.4 for PC crossplay users will be nerfed to 0.3. Controller players will also potentially experience increased camera shake when taking damage.

It must be noted that though these changes are not confirmed, they will primarily be implemented only for controller players who play on PC.

If these aim assist nerf in Apex Legends debut in Season 22, we speculate that the population density for MnK (Mouse and Keyboard) users will once again rise.

The blatant overpowered nature of controller aim assist has almost led to a 100% conversion rate from MnK to controller for competitive players. If things go as planned, we might see a range of pro players switch back to MnK for their upcoming ALGS games.
