Feels like i can't aim anymore

flaviohms · 28 Jul 2026 at 23:53 · permalink

I've played this game since release and i had no issues with aiming until now.
I'm a casual with 2.0 K/D, nothing fancy but after the changes in gunplay late season 3 aiming feels so damn off all of a sudden.
Is it just that my muscle memory is still with the pre gunplay update and i didn't get used to the new weapon handling?
Does anyone else struggle after the changes or is it just me?

Yup. It's completely screwed, I also used to be a casual with 2.0 K/D, not that it matters in battlefield games when you play conquest, but lately my games have been bad because of how strange the combat is, rarely do I win gunfights nowadays, so maybe I need to re-learn the recoil pattern or something or the netcode is broken yet again despite me playing in good pings (20 to 80ms).

Hitreg and recoil changes have killed the gameplay overall.

Just plug in a controller and let it aim for you.

Don't get used to it, everything will change again in the next update anyway.
It's a vicious cycle

Yeah defo since last gunplay update my kills have went to ♥♥♥♥. Im usually 1.9kd to 2.2 kd. Im finding it very hard to get a decent aim. Some games feel good others feel like ive just started the game.
Then you see ranks below 50 running and gunning like shroud i dont get it. your either on the good or the bad side of the hit reg.

Am a new player and i have no problems aiming either on controller or mouse and keyboard

I'm still maintaining a 5.53 KDR, aim is worse now but if you pick the right weapons its not a big deal imo.

they increased bloom ( to remove visual random recoil ) wich makes the gunfight more reliable on luck, "balancing" the game making everyone mid. aiming for headshot now is not ideal now since the increased bloom,low hs multiplier and decreased projectile velocity . it forces everybody to play the same way aiming for the center of mass and pray for good rng.

That is just horrible design. Why did they do that?

Couldn't have said it better. Aiming for the head will net a limb shot now, especially with desync still being an issue. Never had so many gunfights end in 95-99 damage but no kill lol.

This isn't a problem if you use a roller for some reason though. Still consistently get quad headshotted 50+ meters out by smgs often.
