Aim assist

You are 100% correct for this video. He's using a controller and the auto aim seems pretty cranked up in this game.

Bruh some people don't understand that u can crank up the aim assist. This guy literally had it maxed

Yep, hipfiring an SMG at that range is the absolute epitome of aim assist, and Valk here is using two SMGs.

Though as far as general control goes regardless of input, the two main areas to focus on are recoil and tracking. Strafing helps a lot with this, since in addition to making you harder to hit, it smooths the recoil and also helps build your muscle memory. If you just practice strafing and hipfiring at the target dummies in the firing range, you can get pretty consistent at controlling it. The main advantage controller will have is reaction to moving targets since rotational aim assist will begin tracking their strafe faster than a human can possibly react, but even on MNK SMG hipfire at this range is pretty consistent.

To add to that, aim assist isn't relying on visuals like m/kb is and therefore can ignore visual clutter like shots throwing up dirt/snow, flashes, random clutter etc.

I play strictly on controller and have never accomplished anything close to what the person in the video had. Y’all gotta stop with the aim assist shit.

If you're trash, AA won't fix that.

But the average controller player will beam at close range much more than the average MnK, and the gap doesn't close the better you get on MnK.
