Auto-aim works by subtly modifying the trajectory of bullets fired by the player, steering them in the direction of the enemy they are firing upon, if that enemy is close enough to the player's reticle. When the reticle is red, it indicates that auto-aim is fully engaged and the shots will be directed straight towards the enemy. However, auto-aim is often still active when the reticle is not red, steering the shots closer to the enemy - just not directly at them.{{Ref/ | Auto-aim works by subtly modifying the trajectory of bullets fired by the player, steering them in the direction of the enemy they are firing upon, if that enemy is close enough to the player's reticle.

The radius around the reticle at which auto-aim takes effect varies significantly depending on the weapon, with some weapons having significantly stronger auto-aim than others. Another factor that affects auto-aim strength is whether the player is zoomed in or hip firing - when zoomed, the angle at which auto-aim is applied becomes smaller, to account for the finer camera control the user has at that magnification level. Finally, the distance of the enemy from the player also impacts the strength of the auto-aim - beyond a certain distance, auto-aim will not kick in at all and the reticle will not turn red, leading to the notion of [[red reticle range]]. At these distances, the weapon becomes far less effective. | The radius around the reticle at which auto-aim takes effect varies significantly depending on the weapon, with some weapons having significantly stronger auto-aim than others.
