Embark Studios, the creator of Finals, has released the popular shooter’s first update of 2024, which involves significant changes to the way Aim Assist works.
Aim assist is one of the game’s biggest subjects, which Embark Studios claimed it has paid particular attention to as it tried to tone down the mechanic.
“Today we have a small patch that addresses community feedback on aim assist, fair play, and bug fixes,” the developer explained. “These changes are the result of an in-depth review of how aim assist works — something we’ve only been able to validate with a player base as large as ours (thanks so much for playing our game, yolks!).”

Aim Assistance
- Zoom Snapping Angular Velocity now has a max cap, preventing unintended rapid 90-degree turns.
- Camera Magnetism will be reduced to 35% from 50%, making player aim less sticky and lowering controller accuracy.
- Zoom Snapping Time will be reduced to 0.25s from 0.3s.
- Zoom Snapping will be removed from the SR-84 Sniper Rifle, Revolver, LH1, and all Shotguns, as it buffs them more than other weapons.
- Aim assist will ignore invisible players, fixing a bug with the existing system.
- Clients running key re-mapping programs on PC will not have access to aim assist.
Embark Studios has stated that another major update with a major security repair and additional content is in the pipeline for next week.
