Epic’s setup instructions call the control “Aim Assist,” while its troubleshooting page calls it “Aim Assist Strength.” Labels may differ by platform or game version. See Epic’s aim assist settings instructions.
Choose an aim assist strength
Set the strength to the amount you prefer. Epic’s troubleshooting guidance suggests checking that it is at 100%, or using a lower value if you prefer; 100% is a troubleshooting check, not a required setting. Epic’s HUD and aim assist troubleshooting guidance also says to check the setting after enabling Advanced Options.
