In Multiplayer what’s the best way to aim or rather hit your enemies? Just starting out, but my opponents are by far batter than me :neutral: I’ve tried shooting them without pressing L2 to aim. With an enemy in sight the crosshairs seem to move above their heads however. Making them difficult to hit since I have to move the crosshairs down to where I wanted to hit them. When I press L2 to aim the crosshairs disappear so I can’t really tell where I am hitting them. Sometimes I get frustrated not being able to hit someone while they are standing almost right in from of me. I’ve also read about ‘aim assist’? Can I lock on to enemies in some way then? I’m not the greatest shooter but my enemies seem to be able to hit me rather quickly…
Not sure what the problem is but aim and shoot man. If you are using a smg or a LMG burst fire always helps.
As far as aim assist it can actually hurt you if there is more than one enemy. It can pull you away from the one enemy to the other causing the guy you were shooting to kill you because your gun pulled away. I play with it off but that is my preference,.
Also there are a ton of setting you can change. I do not mess with them because honestly I have no idea what half them do or mean.
picking some good iron sights can help, my favorite is the Buckhorn
though i assume that you have some trouble aiming in general, so if you’re on console then turning on aim assist would be for the better, though it’s not as ridiculous as it used to be from what i heard.
if none of that works, you can also just try hip firing your way to victory, Assault in particular is pretty much 90% hipfire, and most of the other 10% is from firing AT Rockets
Play with your sensitivity settings and go from there.
Just a beginner 
But my problem is that when I’m not aiming and just move the crosshairs to my target, when I shoot those crosshairs seem to move up above my target. And when I use aim those crosshairs disappear so I try to move the end of my gun somewhat over my target. Both are a pain in the
How do I turn on/off aim assist on PS4. I suspect it’s on by default in Multiplayer?
Sounds like the aim assist is messing with you. if you go the settings or options menu it is in there. Just look around you will find it. Also like someone else said you can mess with your sensitivity settings. That might help.
Maybe a drink a beer or two to settle you down…haha.
And how does aim assist work? You point your crosshairs near a target, press L2 and it will automatically lock? (newby questions, I know)
Aim assist pulls your weapon towards the center of the target. I am not sure if you even have to be aiming. I think it does it automatically. That is why I do not like it.
BF4 had a test range and that would help you but this game does not. I think what you could do is got to a empty server and practice shooting at a wall or something to show you your bullet spread.
I usually pre-aim around areas where I assume the enemy is. If the target is out in the open, I lead the target (aiming slightly in front of the direction that the target is moving). Since you are just starting out, I suggest you aim center mass (chest area). Each weapon has different characteristics (muzzle velocities, range, etc.) so you should spend a considerable amount of time with each to learn about them.
Also, take that time experimenting with weapons to find your playstyle that suits you. Hope this helps.
Start at the crown jewels and the recoil should do the rest - that’s all I got
edit: turn off aim assist & if you got a scout rifle in your hands, drop it & pick up & LMG
Hope this helps, happy holidays
Go grind the hell out of TDM, you’ll learn to aim real fast.

I just saw this on the xbox forums. I did not watch it but it might help you out.
thanks, will keep that in mind. First gonna try aim assist, if that works. As I first thought there wasn’t such a thing as target locking.
Also saw this.

I just assumed that I had to point the end of my gun exactly over the target’s body to shoot it. But apparently moving it close to the target and then using aim will make it snap to the target? Will try that then. That would be what I would need I think
try lowering your ADS sensitivity,and then gradually bump it up,that helped me a bit.and remember it’s aim ASSIST ,not aim for you. it will only snap on the target when you ADS if the target is within your crosshairs to begin with,and when your running notice the little tiny triangle in the center of your screen try to get you target as close to that mark as possible before you ADS at them,this is where a lower sensitivity can help,and like I said gradually bump it up as you get used to it.i’m still learning myself,but these tips have helped me, and go online and read about or watch videos about the sensitivity settings.they’re somewhat complex.
also if I may add, find one or two guns in any given class that seem to feel right to you and use them ,learn their characteristics,and you will get better ,like I said I’m still learning myself,so I’m not one to teach anyone .
aim lower,recoil is causing this
I tried it, but can’t seem to get it to work. I ran around a bit and found a target running a bit further away. I moved my crosshairs towards the target. Not spot on, but close. Then pressed L2 to zoom in (that’s what ADS is right?). The crosshairs went away, but the sights didn’t move towards the target’s body. So am I doing something wrong? Isn’t it perhaps available in ‘Team Deathmatch’? Or just on specific weapons?
