im not so sure its hit detection. i recently dug up and have been enjoying my year one gear, like fatebringer and the longbow synthesis, and i think i discovered something about year two vs year one(presumably year one that carried over is still the same as not carried); year two BASE aim assit is auto pilot. im still experimenting with it, bu comapaired to year two guns, year one seem so much harder to aim now. and they never did before taken king. that said, i would be more than happy to get a buff to my first and favorite exotic.
