The Finals Patch 1.4.1 Nerfs Controller Aim Assist

The Finals patch 1.4.1 reduces camera magnetism, adds angular velocity caps, and removes zoom snapping from specific weapons.

Embark Studios has released patch 1.4.1 for The Finals, targeting community feedback on aim assist behavior and fair play on PC.

Aim Assist Adjustments

Camera magnetism is reduced from 50% to 35%, lowering controller accuracy and reducing sticky crosshairs. Zoom snapping time drops from 0.3 seconds to 0.25 seconds, and angular velocity now features a max cap to prevent unintended rapid 90-degree turns. In addition, zoom snapping has been entirely removed from the SR-84 Sniper Rifle, Revolver, LH1, and all Shotguns.

Targeting and Fair Play Fixes

Aim assist will now ignore invisible players, resolving an existing targeting bug. Furthermore, clients running key re-mapping programs on PC will lose access to aim assist.

Why this patch matters

Patch 1.4.1 directly addresses dominant controller settings by toning down magnetism and removing instant-zoom advantages from high-damage precision weapons.
