The Finals patch notes update 1.4.1: All aim assistance changes

The Finals patch notes update 1.4.1 is finally here. With Embark Studios' FPS title crossing 10 million players in a very short period of time, the developers are all set to give fans the best experience possible. Hence, the game has just received a brand new update, and it has fixed some major issues regarding aim-assist.

As the title supports both controller and mouse & keyboard, the aim assist has been a topic of controversy since its release. However, that's almost the same case for almost every multiplayer FPS game that requires major skill to compete.

Since The Finals' release last year, players have been complaining that the aim assist is strong and creates an unfair advantage for those who use controllers. In this latest update, Embark Studios has nerfed the aim assist and explained why this step was necessary.
