v10.40 will bring changes to how aim assist works

Epic Games is a big fan of introducing pop-culture to its famous Battle Royale title, Fornite. Ever since the title launched, the company has introduced tons of new updates alongside many crossover events including the recent ‘Area 51 themed skin owing to the famous Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop Us All‘ meme and the currently ongoing FortniteXBatman‘ crossover to honor the iconic superhero’s 80th anniversary. As for updates, v10.31 update saw the arrival of a ‘Party Hub’ in-game voice chat feature. Leaks even suggest that a new map is on the way, arriving with Season 11. And now Epic Games is teasing v10.40 patch notes that will be introducing some improvements to its aim assist alongside matchmaking system and bots.

With v10.40, Epic Games plans on removing the ability to snap to targets, also known as “left trigger spam” and has been frequently found being abused by players to reacquire their target. Instead, Fortnite will get a new and modified version of aim assist that will solely depend on the distance from the target. Moreover, with this change, Epic Games is trying to close the gap between controller and keyboard aimers.

“We have also removed the ability to use target snapping (aka “Left trigger spam”),” said Epic in a blog post. ”

Aim assist isn’t the only feature that is getting a rework as the new update will also bring more ways to customize settings like look sensitivity, aim sensitivity, build sensitivity.

Here are the major changes we can expect to arrive with the new update:

  • Look Sensitivity
  • Aim Sensitivity (ADS)
  • Build Mode Sensitivity Multiplier (maximum increased)
  • Edit Mode Sensitivity Multiplier (maximum increased)
  • Look Horizontal Speed
  • Look Vertical Speed
