Since its launch, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has received a number of updates and patches. One such patch went live a couple of hours and is of significant importance to controller players. You can also expect a plethora of balancing changes. Aim assist for controllers now comes with four different settings, ranging from Full to Off. A legacy setting using the aim assist code from Vermintide 2 has also been introduced. More details are mentioned below.
UPDATED FEATURES
Updated aim assist for controllers with four settings:
- Full (DEFAULT) - Our latest Aim Assist code. Faster and easier to use with a slowdown when close to aiming at enemies. This applies to melee and ranged and will follow the target in a rotation if you aim and strafe.
- Light - The same as “Full” but with some features disabled, including the rotation lock when strafing.
- Legacy - The classic Aim Assist code used in Vermintide 2 and previous Darktide versions.
- Off - Turn off Aim Assist.
