Aim Assist
Having trouble with aim assist?
If your crosshair shakes or drifts, click here to find your case on video and the setting to change.
🎯 BEFORE YOU START
Out of the box, aim assist does nothing: until you set a radius, nothing moves. A radius left at the minimum turns aim assist off in that situation, whatever the speed.
Each situation has two screens in a row: first the radius, then RIGHT to move on to the speed.
QUICK ON / OFF IN GAME
Hold SQUARE / X and quickly double-tap a D-pad arrow:
- UP: anti-recoil ON / OFF. - DOWN: aim assist ON / OFF. - RIGHT: Shot Mod ON / OFF.
The Cronus screen shows the status and a vibration confirms it. When the Cronus restarts, everything goes back to ON.
💡 TIP: handy for comparing with and without aim assist in game, without opening the menu.

Frequently asked questions
Why does aim assist do nothing?
Out of the box, no radius is set: nothing moves until you set one. A radius left at the minimum turns aim assist off in that situation, even if the speed is set.
What's the difference between RADIUS and SPEED?
The radius sets the size of the aim assist movement, the speed sets how fast it is. On the Cronus, each situation shows the radius first, then RIGHT moves on to the speed.
Why doesn't LS aim assist work when I move?
Left stick aim assist only works when that stick is still or almost still: it cuts out as soon as you move.
What do HIP, ADS, FIRE and ADS&FIRE mean?
They're the in-game situations: HIP not aiming or firing, ADS aiming without firing, FIRE firing without aiming, ADS&FIRE aiming and firing at the same time. Each situation has its own settings.
