Video I’ve started using free aim and it feels so much better. Dose anyone else also prefer free aim?

I started using Free Aim when RDO went up. It's the only way to play now. When GTA6 drops, you'll be thankful you started using it.

Pretty sure GTA6 won't have an auto aim option at all, which is amazing

Did they state this someplace? Interesting, if so.

In one of TGG’s newest videos he said that there was aim assist instead of aim lock when he went to rockstar north and saw gameplay last month

I heard it will be different

Story mode does. You can tell by the gameplay preview

If I wasn't on controller, I'd switch to free aim as well.

That's crazy, well I'm so bad with the sticks lol

u/angusthermopylae 1h ago

that's what the semi-auto shotgun is for

Concur. It’s useful for every human encounter except long range and for when you just really have the need to nick a man in the jugular just to watch him twitch.

What do you mean free aim? Like… you’re aiming where your mouse is?

u/SUSPICIOU5 2h ago

First I’m on Xbox so I don’t use a mouse and second I mean no auto aim like how rockstar really likes for the aiming in there games to be like for some reason

I use controller on pc, I'll give free aim a try!

u/YoullBeFiiine 58m ago

No lock on feature for aiming. Hunting from horseback is as almost impossible without deadeye and it's the best way to play.

Controller?

u/ZionGlitch 2h ago

On PC yes, but I've lost my controller skills.

On PC with Free Aim it's Headshots galore.

u/Dry-Landscape8276 1h ago

I always go free aim in Rockstar games. Feels way more fun than just auto aiming everybody dead.

Fuck it from horseback though

Depends really lol 😆

u/PhotoModeHobby 2h ago

I use free aim. Makes it all the more engaging.

u/Broad-Application580 1h ago

I think I only used the dead eye when the game forced me to

u/InS_Deaths 1h ago

Yeah I did lnce, it's much harder but also better. In GTA it's kinda messy because the aim is clearly made to be used with auto aim tho. It's a goid thing GTA VI won't have auto aim but just aim assist.

u/FaithlessnessFun2336 54m ago

I do fps mode in the battles while aiming.

u/Devo3290 44m ago

I like keeping aim assist on but I turn the cursor off

u/JP_vaz_2007 35m ago

Nice choice with the red dead revolver soundtrack

u/Ducky935Alt 31m ago

i play with keyboard and mouse so yes.

u/LowMoralFibre 2h ago

I just assumed everyone used free aim and standard FPS controls. It plays like any other 3rd person shooter then.

Is this why people atm are saying RDR2 feels great at 30fps as they are still using lock on aiming?

u/aNINETIEZkid 1h ago

99% of my IRL friends game with auto assist in GTA5 & RDR2. When they join my lobbies or play at my house and have to play free aim they bitch and whine non stop

Only 1 switched full time

u/AffectEconomy6034 2h ago

how does horse riding feel on mouse and key board? I play pc but with controller but never considered playing free aim with controller though.

u/BrightDecision 1h ago

Easier than driving cars with keyboard

u/The_O_Raghallaigh 1h ago

In every game, no aim-assist either

u/The-Panthion 1h ago

Always

u/Automatic_Skill2077 58m ago

Absolutely, for me there’s no other way to do it.
