Aim just randomly jerks

Recently after two months of not playing battlefield my controller will jerk the up up even if i’m not under fire and it’s really annoying because it will either cause me to die even when I have the jump on someone or someone else will take the kill because the sights will jump up out of no where. I’ve reset the controller multiple times and it still happens and It’s a brand new standard ps4 controller that’s red . Anyone else experience this issue?

My best guess would be the controller’s at fault - the game clearly detected its a commie red one and struggles to resist the communist influence…

Happens with even the standard black one that came with my ps4 and purchased red because I didn’t wan’t blue, black, green, or camo pattern. and I’m far from being a commie or socialist if you’re trying to call me one because I chose a red controller.

@DaHuntzMen I suspect he was trying to make a joke but forgetting that humor often doesn’t translate well over text. I like red controllers and am certainly no communist. Are you using the default controller scheme?

I use 60% sensitivity for hip fire and ads o% for sensitivity a acceleration 5%the right stick center deadzone. But In the ps4 settings I had the communication set to usb although it is pretty much connected t all times

I dont mind being called a socialist.

Yea the controller scheme is at default but I have Aim assist slow down and auto rotation off and 60% sensitivity for hip fire and ads o% for sensitivity a acceleration 5%the right stick center deadzone. Even if I was to reset to everything to default same thing happens, I’m gonna go pick up another controller and see what happens and if it works is there a way I can get sony to fix the broken one?

Update: The new controller I bought with a two year protection plan is working just fine and I’m going to continue to stress test it but I’m going to take back the malfunctioning one and see about getting a refund or replacement.

Just had the same problem. Controller related.

You know if it could be from being to rough with handling it because it wasn’t even a month old, or could it be that I just got a controller that malfuntioned quicker then expected from being on too long or pressing the R3 to harsh.

I would say it’s just bad luck with the controller mine was quite old. I tend to chew through PS4 controllers, if I’m honest the build quality isn’t very good. Take one apart and you’ll see just how fragile they are.

@b2tchwood I sadly just had it happen on one of my Xbox 360 controllers that I use for RPGs on PC. I tend to baby my controllers so I’m always surprised when this happens.

Yeah it’s controller related, I too look after mine and got a similar issue. I changed controller and it was fine. That controller was the one I got with it in 2013. Im going to change the stick on it to see if it fixes it

I disagree, mine bounces off walls quite well and still works.

My PS4 controller feels like a tank compared to my Xbox One and PS3 controller!

Ive never had to rebuild a ps4 controller, ps3 controllers just couldn’t handle repeated impact, I used to be an expert in rebuilding ps3 controllers.

I just rebuilt my DS4

Need some kontrol freaks dude. Surprisingly good impact, although very nice modifications and somewhat in keeping with your theme :wink:

I used to use Kontrol Freaks when my soldier stick sensitivity was 60%, when i upped it to 100% I don’t use them anymore, it was too much to do both

@SMK_GAMING_2 I really love that controller’s color scheme!

Interesting. I always found that it was easier to control a higher sensitivity with the kontrol freaks as they gave a greater rotation arc to compensate. It meant 1 degree of movement of my thumb had the same impact as before, but I could then do fast turns by pushing to the extremes of that arc etc.
