📋 About This Mod

Removes the game's aim assist. It's toggleable and bug-free!

LIVING_CITY 2. 8 (AND ABOVE) ALREADY HAS THIS MOD INCLUDED

Watch_Dogs comes with 3 separate aim assist settings, Minimal, Default, and Strong. There's no way to disable it without the use of mods, which is what this mod is for. HeySlickThatsMe attempted this back in late 2020 but it breaks the Crime Detection (Vigilante) events as Aiden will not alert criminals of his presence when aiming. This mod fixes that and gives you options to disable the aim assist entirely or as a toggle by utilizing the separate settings mentioned earlier.

Comes in 4 variants (more like 3, but extra options never hurt anyone):

  • []Minimal (Minimal setting disables aim assist)

    []Strong (Strong setting disables aim assist)

    []Default (Removes aim assist entirely, all settings are affected)

    For Default, there are 2 separate variants:

    • []Lock (Disables the aim lock that guides your aim to the target)

      []Vector (Disables the range in which engages the aim lock, might be hogwash)

      []Combo (Lock and Vector combined) - RECOMMENDED

    They both do the same thing in practice. If you want to play it safe, just get the Combo variant.

    EXTRA OPTIONS HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO SIMPLIFY INSTALLATION!

    Loose files only for now, if there's demand I will upload a vanilla patch file with this mod pre-packaged.

    Loose files AND packed version for your needs.

    Drop cameraconfig_3ecffbe9.obj in generated\databases\generic using Gibbed's Disrupt Tools.
