THE FINALS PC players exploit controller aim-assist for unfair accuracy advantage
A critical exploit in THE FINALS allows PC players to gain unfair aim-assist advantages, typically reserved for controller users. The exploit is achieved by simply connecting a controller, activating aim-assist, and continuing to use a mouse while holding any controller input.
This oversight provides mouse and keyboard users with nearly aimbot-like accuracy, undermining the original purpose of aim-assist, which was designed to help controller players compete fairly in crossplay matches.
Key details about the exploit:
- Works with any compatible controller
- Requires holding a controller input while using mouse
- Discovered and reported by players on October 29
- Expected to persist until the beta ends on November 5
This isn't THE FINALS' only current challenge, as Embark Studios is also dealing with:
- Growing concerns about cheating
- Requests for region locks
- Players demanding measures against alleged Chinese cheaters
The developer is likely to address this exploit in future updates, as similar issues have been resolved in other games historically. While no official full release date has been announced, this exploit is expected to be patched before the game's final launch.
