How to turn off aim assist in Fortnite?

Fortnite’s ‘aim-assist’ mechanic has generated quite a bit of controversy in the past. Earlier, notable players such as Tfue, Ninja and benjyfishy have complained about Fortnite’s aim assist setting. The argument is that it gives players on controller an unfair advantage.

As of now, it appears that the consensus among the Fortnite community is that Epic needs to adjust its aim assist mechanic in order to generate more balance. The fact is that players using a controller have a sever advantage over players using a mouse and a keyboard, and this is something which has shown in recent trends. Back in May 2020, Tfue posted the following post on Twitter.

As you can see, he posted a screenshot of the Top-13 players in North America to illustrate that all of them were using a controller. Regardless, in order to test their skill and see where they really stand, players can always switch their aim-assist setting off. In this article, we will look at the steps you need to follow in order to do that.
