gta 6 defaulting to free aim is about to expose an entire generation of lock-on frauds

the newest combat deep dive from the rockstar north preview says auto aim is off by default. you can tune aim stickiness, but the game starts closer to free aim, enemies are not just red dots on the minimap, and guns reportedly kick harder. also, jason and lucia cannot carry a small nation's arsenal in their spine anymore. handguns can be concealed, long guns have to be carried or stored, and walking around with one ready can make civilians and cops react. all of this is coming from preview attendees describing a development build, so controls can still change before november. still, rockstar apparently looked at twenty years of me letting the left trigger find every head in the room and decided it was time for personal growth.
