[2022] ADS is the biggest QoL problem on PS4

Thank you for the answer!

I get that some people are confused by the way I described the issue, so I'll try to be clearer.

Aim assist settings are perfect. I have nothing to say about them.

My problem is with the ADS target snapping. In my settings on PS4, you can only turn it on or off and if enabled you can choose between linear and exponential.

I don't exactly know how it works, but given my experience with other shooting games, there's an area around the enemy where you need to aim to activate the ADS target snapping.

I would like to be able to tune the area that is triggering the snapping or something like that, in order to have control over how much it affects my gunplay.

Right now, having ADS target snapping on in B4B is way too much for me but disabling it forces me to rely on the poor precision of the analogue stick.

In other games like Call of Duty, the menu lets you choose which kind of target snapping to use based on your skill or preference. Something like:

Basic: default ADS target snapping

Precision: ADS target snapping only activates when aiming really close to the target (this means having more control over your aiming without losing the help you may need with accuracy)

Speaking of B4B, enabling ADS target snapping means that you have really poor control over the aim, as the area that is triggering the snapping is good for new players but becomes a pain for experienced players since you completely lose control.

So basically I would like to be able to tune the effect, the trigger or the area (don't know how to call it) over the target snapping. At least having some default options would better fit my needs.

Let's say for example that, with ADS target snapping enabled, my reticle is centred on an empty spot, far from enemies. As soon as I activate ADS, the target snapping forces the reticle to stick to an enemy even if it's far away from its original location. That's not good for me as I need more control. Imho the target snapping should be a help, not a loss of control. In addition, this could also eventually cause motion sickness. (I can provide a video of this if needed)

I'm here for further explanations and feedback if needed.

The aiming in this game on console is a major thing holding this game back. Everyone I know who bought this game hates how clunky it feels. You go play apex, then get on back4blood and you wonder why apex feels so smooth and this game so clunky. Even turning dead zone to 0 and messing with sensitivity it just feels very rough. Would also love to be able to play KBM on console.

I would like to give my feedback about this topic wishing to help!

1. Framerate I'm on PS4 PRO and a 60FPS performance mode would really help experiencing a smooth experience. To be honest I would trade graphics to framerate without hesitation.

2. Jerkiness Some triggers are immediate, this is making the game feel jerky. For example, smooth out little events trigger like the aim assist activation would help.

3. Sensitivity I play every game with the same value for horizontal and vertical sensitivity. B4B is the only game in which I absolutely need to use a different value for each horizontal and vertical sensitivity. I don't know exactly why, but... this is a thing.

4. Controls The more I try to have a dynamic approach, the less I have control. I feel forced to slow down movements to reach the amount of control I need to play properly.

5. Default settings In order to have a decent feeling from the game I had to deeply change the default settings.

I need to get in more depth about this issue, I will let you know further thoughts
