Does joining an online session with a different aiming mode on PC change anything?

Does joining an online session with a different aiming mode on PC change anything? - Unrecognizable blurred lady working at table in modern office against photo camera placed on tripod

So as the question asks i'm curious to know whether or not joining an online session changes my aim mode. Specifically whenever the game tells me that the session i'm joining is using a different targeting mode or something and asks if i'd like to change my target mode settings.

As far as i can tell there are no settings inside the game settings that display or change the aiming modes available so i can only guess that it's available only when you have a controller plugged in?

I would like to keep my aim mode on free-aim and not have any aim assist at all. Will joining other sessions that require changing my aim mode to something other than free aim and if so how do i change it back?



Best Answer

If you use a mouse and keyboard, aim assist is unavailable. As such, leaving aim assist on might put you at a disadvantage against people with an aim-assisted controller.

Still, you will only get matched with people who have the same setting as you, and the game will prompt you when you try to join a game with a different targeting mode.

You can change targeting mode under Gamepad settings in the landing screen, or in single player.
