Aim assist is how much the reticle slows down when aimed over a Targets precision hit box, latency issues cause that hit box to be extended making seemingly impossible shots, possible. Bullet magnetism is not affected by Aim assist. [spoiler]aim assist is needed in a 30 FPS game like Destiny. Also Y1 snipers had more Aim assist than Y2 snipers so why do you guys pick now to bitch about snipers and aim assist?[/spoiler]
