Well that sucks, kind of a deal breaker for me. Just started playing online, so now i'll probably stop. Thanks for the reply.

If you turn off auto-aim in the controller settings you will get connected to different servers with people who have no auto-aim

Thats not my issue though, i want to be able to use auto with a keyboard and mouse. For me the Online mode is basically unplayable (Online missions, im talking about) with free aim and i dont want to have to use a controller. I really dont get why they wouldnt allow players to use auto aim on keyboard and mouse, make zero sense.

Because it's easy already to aim with a keyboard and mouse

Still auto aimers have a big advantage even with sniping but mouse and auto aim would be overkill

If gamepads gets ingame build aimbot why keyboards cant ? Then why mix players playing on different inputs together lol
Its lke R* saying 'This group will be aimboting, this group you can f off..git gud' dunno.. stupid..
I just feel sorry for casuals who has to suffer ingame aimbots.

They are not mixed together. As I said above go into controller settings and turn auto-aim off. You won't be able to turn it back on in-game because it's server controlled. Don't cry about things we can fix ourselves, there's more important issues out of our control.

Because auto-aim is designed for gamepads. The intrinsic shortcomings of gamepads in FPS games required auto-aim to make it as nearly as fluid and enjoyable as K+M.

If you have a problem with no auto-aim for FPS games, that's on you. A minimum skill level is required to play this kind of game. Might I suggest Candy Crush for you?

Why do you want aim assist in the first place? Its not like aiming with mouse is hard...

Then you massively disadvantage controller users. The only fair way would be to separate controller users and K&M users into different lobbies to begin with. I can't see any way to balance the two control methods in any meaningful way, someone will always be at a disadvantage.

Because the auto-aim is added in to make up for the shortcomings of trying to precision aim with analog sticks, which is just a trainwreck. WITHOUT auto-aim, the game is practically unplayable on controller, because you don't have the speed and agility to get to targets quick enough while they are all zeroed in on you. With a mouse, this isn't the case. You being unable to keep a steady hand isn't the same thing as an inherent flaw in the control system being taken in to account. If you don't like free aim, use a controller, if NEITHER of these options is acceptable for you, there is a very robust single player game for you to enjoy.

Aim assist for KB/M... why? You have more precision using a KB/M when it comes to FPS games, that is why there is no aim assist for KB/M... Like someone already mentioned, it would be far too easy if KB/M had an aim assist.

Also, do you even use Dead Eye with the Paint it Black ability card? You become a god, all you need to do is move your cursor over the head of a player/NPC in Dead Eye and it's a one shot when you left click, assuming you can aim at the head int he first place with KB/M.
