Update EB 0.57 - The Control Update
Support for over 500 games. Automatic sensitivity conversions. Support for direct CM/360 input and Focal Distance scaling. And a whole host of other changes.
Welcome to the Control Update.
The Control Update
The control update is a fundamental rewrite of the way the "Control" section of Aim Lab works.
This update brings a myriad of new features such as fully automatic sensitivity conversions, scaling by focal distance (See our most recent blog post for more information on this) and the ability to input your raw CM/360 instead of playing around with sensitivity.
This means that you can now change from one game to another without having to reset all of your sensitivities - Instead, they will now match automatically.
We have put together a short blog post to help newer users to understand how to use the Control Update more effectively - So if you need a little help to wrap your head around some of the myriad of new features the Control Update brings, check out the Control Update Guide!

0.51 EB: Custom Recoil Patterns, Default/Custom Hitsounds & New Tasks
Update 0.51EB is probably one of our largest updates to date - Bringing with it new tasks, custom hitsounds and, the thing you've all been waiting for - Custom Recoil Patterns!
Recoil Pattern Suite
After many months of work, we hope it's worth the wait - Recoil Patterns are now in Aim Lab!
Recoil patterns are a part of the Custom Weapon suite right now, and is fairly easy to set up - Simply open the UI, plot out your intended recoil pattern, then put it into any Custom Weapon of your choosing!
This addition also comes with full Workshop integration, as such, any weapon you post to the workshop with a custom recoil pattern will maintain that same pattern for any user that downloads it - So be sure to share your creations with your friends!
New tasks - Spheretrack and Motiontrack
I'm sure you will all agree, Aim Lab has been lacking for tracking tasks for some time - Well fear not, these two new tasks should prove challenging for just about any skill level!
Motiontrack is a variant of Motionshot, with one major change - Once a moving target is spawned, you will have to track it to destroy it, as opposed to shooting it. These targets behave fairly similarly to the base mode, but have a fair bit more health. You should find this mode a good entry-level difficulty mode when it comes to tracking.
Spheretrack, inversely, is an entirely new mode featuring full 360 degree tracking, both horizontally and vertically.
Spheretrack is, by my own personal admission, one of the hardest tracking modes available. An invulnerable target moves around you in all directions, at varying speeds and distances, requiring frequent mouse resets while tracking at the same time - This is a mode for truly experienced trackers.
New feature - Custom hitsounds
Those of you that have been playing with hitsounds on have probably noticed that it can, occasionally, be a little harsh on the ears. The cacophony of generic metal sounds you would hear in modes like Gridshot and Spheretrack were never the most pleasant thing in the world - And we hope to change that.
Update 0.51EB introduces Custom hitsounds - We have included a small sample of sounds included in Aim Lab by default, however, you can upload any .wav or .ogg file for your own personalized hitsound experience!
Changes and tweaks
Changed Detection task from 60 seconds to 30 targets, ensuring that all rounds played on it receive a fair number of targets.
Removed insight referencing a mode that is not currently implemented
Fixed bug with leaning that would cause you to get stuck leaning in one direction
Patch Notes 0.50 Hotfix 12(Thats a lot of Hotfixes)
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused Workshop tasks to reappear after being deleted from the saved task menu
Fixed multiple exceptions that could potentially have caused other bugs
Update 0.50 EB is here! And along with it comes a total ranking overhaul, new ranks, Valorant Operator Scope Variants and a slew of bug fixes!
Ranking overhaul
You've probably noticed that your rank in Aim Lab has changed since the last major update - For some of you it will be lower, and for others it will be higher. This is because the fundamental calculations behind how rank points are given has changed.
Prior to Update 0.50EB, rank points for things like Flicking or Tracking were assigned based on Accuracy, rather than real performance. This meant that players with insanely high performance that suffered a few misses would have less rank points than a player that shot a target once in a round. This system, as many pointed out, was fundamentally flawed.
After Update 0.50EB, rank points are given based on your score and performance in a round. This ties back into the scoring overhaul that we pushed live just the other day - As scoring is now far more indicative of performance, ranking has been changed to use your score far more than an individual metric.
As a general rule, every rank point you get is equivalent to 1000 score, averaged across the category. Rank points of 100 in a category would mean that your average score in said category is 100,000, whereas rank points of 50 in a category mean that your average score in said category is 50,000.
This system will be receiving constant, and consistent balancing tweaks to ensure that normalisation and score assignment feel appropriate, so expect more changes to follow.
New Ranks!
Previously, the ranks you could earn in Aimlab progressed as follows - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, with each subsection going from 1-4. 1 being lowest and 4 being highest.
Update 0.50 EB brings three new ranks to the table - Ruby, Emerald and Grandmaster.
You can now expect ranking to progress as follows - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Master, and finally, Grandmaster. A final, prestigious rank will be implemented at a later time, so expect to hear more about it down the line.
Furthermore - The way ranks progress has been changed a little. Before, a rank of Diamond 1 meant you were at the lowest portion of the Diamond rank. Now, inversely, a rank of Diamond 4 would mean you are at the lowest portion of the Diamond rank, whereas a rank of Diamond 1 would put you at the border of Master.
And lastly - You will now notice a rank emblem beside your scorecard, you can view every rank emblem in the game (As of Update 0.50 EB) here!
