Hello XIM community. Over the course of the last year "or so" I've posted setups for games like Destiny, BO3, Hardline and BF4. My driving force with all these setups has always revolved around my personal issues with controlling Aim Assist. As I've stated on multiple occasions, IMO XIM4 works GREAT with a lot of games. The only issue I ever have is when Aim Assist messes with my aim.
So what exactly is Aim Assist (referred to as Target Assist in BO3) and how does it work? Here's the best video I found with a quick search on youtube. It's a great video and I would encourage all to watch even if you believe you already understand how Aim Assist works.
Ok, so why would I want settings to combat AA, isn't AA a GOOD thing? First off, YES AA actually is a GOOD thing and it does help you to not over shoot your target. The problem is AA is often so strong on consoles that when used with something as precise as a mouse it can feel like it's fighting against you at times. There are typically Three scenarios that cause AA to become a problem when using a mouse.
1.) Range of motion! AA is built to help a controller user stay on a target, using a range of motion of only about an inch. Compare that with a Mouse that may have a range of motion of up to 12 inches or MORE, depending on your settings (dpi, sens,curves,etc.) and you start to see a more accurate pic of why LOW sens players will fight AA ALOT more then high sens players will.
2.) Aiming at multiple targets! I'm sure EVERYONE has come across this problem at some point in time. You aim at a group of targets and your cross hair is drawn towards the wrong target. Keep in mind, this doesn't necessarily mean targets within the same distance or side by side. You could be aiming for a target just a few meters away and another target could cross your sights, either in front or behind the target you're aiming at and AA will often try to pull you towards the secondary target. You may not even see the other target, but you'll feel its AA.
3.) When you ADS just outside of the Enemies hit box! Unless your aim is dead nuts every time you ADS on a target you're going to occasionally experience an issue where it feels like your cursor is stuck in the mud as you're trailing a target. This is what has been referred to as the "AA Bubble effect." It's what happens when you're cursor speed is drastically slowed by Aim Assist that was created by the developer to make aiming possible with a controller. Think about that for a second. This slow down effect was created for thumb stick aiming, not a precision mouse. What's the difference? Simple, one word for ya "Velocity!" The amount of slow down needed to control Thumb stick aiming can often feel like your hitting a wall with a mouse. This is because you're typically not creating as much velocity with your mouse as you would be with a Stick. Why? Because you don't have to, it's a precision aiming device.
These three scenarios are why I started creating Anti-Aim Assist curves. As mentioned prior, when I say Anti-Aim Assist, I don't mean NO Aim Assist at all. I mean Aim Assist that feels helpful and controlled, not overpowering or intrusive.
High sens players will feel less Aim Assist then low sens players. That is purely because of the velocity issue I spoke of. So this thread will probably be more appealing to mid and low sens players. Although I believe the style of curve I'm going to show you will be helpful to everyone that is experiencing issue's 1,2 or 3 above.
Ok ... enough BS, sorry for the looong intro. I just want everyone to understand what this thread is about and how it could potentially be helpful. So on to the setup!
WHAT DO THESE CURVES DO AND HOW TO APPLY THEM LIKE A CHAMP!I created this setup by first raising my in game ADS sensitivity as high as I felt I needed to make AA feel spot on to me. Then I divided my Sens by approx 1/3 to 1/2 (depending on the game) and made this curve to do the rest. Why? Because a curve makes it possible to use low velocity for micro movements and a much higher velocity for quick movements. By doing this I've found I can still combat AA to my liking without sacrificing my sniping game and long range shots.
So YES, I use these curves and sensitivities for EVERY weapon in EVERY game "Listed" and with EVERY scope. When applied right, these curves will allow you to have more initial stick on target in both HIP and ADS, but also give you the acceleration needed to get on target (break that @#$% AA bubble) and track effectively. I must say this curve set has made ALL of the FPS's listed below feel really REALLY good for me. So if you enjoy my style of game play then I think you're really going to enjoy these curves. If you're not familiar with my style of play, here's a brief run down and what you should expect from these curves.
- I play with Aim Assist [ON] ALWAYS!
- I want SOME AA but not too much, I want it to help me get on target but not mess with my aim.
- I want to get in the hit box, then track the target and get out of the hit box and to another enemy without fighting for control of my crosshairs.
IMPORTANT!- All setups were created at
4000 DPI, use the calculator I've linked below if you are using a higher or lower DPI then I am.
- All setups were made on the
latest firmware. (Any firmware should work, but you'll need to disable Steady Aim and remove any boost values added).
- All setups use the same two curves, just different sensitivities.
- As always, if you're over aiming or getting stuck outside the hitbox then lower or raise your sens until it feels right to you. I typically find myself starting out at about 3 points lower for the first hour or so. This applies to Hip and ADS. Once I'm in the zone I'll raise the sens to where they are now.

Use these curves for EVERY game below!BATTLEFIELD 1Follow all XIM recommendations for in game settings EXCEPT USA is [ON] with this setup.

BATTLEFIELD 4HIP: 22

IMPORTANT: (When possible)
For all COD games I highly recommend that you use "quickdraw" and any perk needed to make aiming as fast as possible after running. Then add a 125ms ADS delay to your ADS config. I recommend these settings no matter what firmware you're running!
BLACK OPS 3HIP: Sensitivity 21
ADS: Sensitivity 12.5
INFINITE WARFAREHIP: Sensitivity 21
ADS: Sensitivity 12.5
MODERN WARFARE Remastered - I recommend ADS delay set to 365ms.
HIP: 18.5
ADS: 11.5
GHOSTHIP: 19.5
ADS: 14.5
DESTINY - Only tried PvE but should work with PvP at lower sensitivities.
