📋 About This Mod
Are you tired of missing those important targets?
Fed up of wasting ammo trying to hit those jerky cazadors or twerking fiends?
Miss no more with the Soft Lock™ Aim Assist™Module from (not) Vault-Tec!™
V1fuWnfVlFg
This mod adds a form of a soft target lockon/aim assist, when looking down sights.
Your aim is moved smoothly to the center of the target you're currently aiming near
for a short period of time, allowing you to pull off snapshots or track targets easier.
As featured in almost every shooter since the advent of controllers.
First of all, while intended for use with a controller, this mod also works with a mouse,
so if you feel like you've troubles with aiming and need just a bit of help - this mod might do.
This mod was made specifically for Hitman, and as such, all its functionality was made
to fit his playstyle. So there's a very real possibility this might not fit everyone's taste. And to
workaround that there's a config file where you can edit mod settings until aiming feels good
to you. Look for them in the "Data\Config\AimAssist.ini" file. First two values let you change
Horizontal and Vertical aim detection thresholds, and last one - to change how long your aim
is going to "stick" to the target. And that's pretty much it. I might add few more extra features
in the future, like aim offset, so you can track the target and still adjust the aim, but not now.
