Fortnite v12.61 early update patch notes
Aim Assist nerf
Epic Games is finally nerfing the aim assist, On May 20 developers officially
revealed that they will be looking into overall power of aim assist while
playing with a controller on PC. At that time FNCS was going on and developers
did not want to roll out this change before the series ends.

Aim Assist is such a big topic that many pro players and streamers has
openly announced that they will not play the game until it is fixed,
