You asked, we delivered - This update is the first part of a series of upcoming updates aiming to massively expand upon the variability and challenge within Aim Lab, by giving the power to create to the users.
This first update brings two very long requested additions, aswell as laying the groundwork for what is coming.
Custom Task Expansion - Custom Gridshot and Spheretrack
Gridshot has long been a community Favorite - And for about as long as people were cracking PBs, people have been asking for a custom variant. Well - You've got it!
Update EB0.84 brings the long awaited Gridshot Custom to Aim Lab! No longer need you worry about targets being too large, or spawning too close together - Now you are the director, and the task can be whatever you make it!
Alongside this, EB0.84 brings another custom mode - Custom Spheretrack! Everybodies favourite tracking mode is now available to tweak, edit and otherwise change up however you like!
Furthermore - Both of these new custom modes feature full functionality with the Workshop and other custom elements of Aim Lab - Meaning yes, you can play Custom Gridshot with your custom recoil pattern on your custom lightning gun on your custom greybox - Then upload the entire thing to the workshop!
What's coming next
As the title of this update may have given away - This is just a taste of what is to come.

From school-based competitions to global tournaments, the Events tab is the place for any well-versed aim enthusiast to test their mettle against their competitors - For Cash, Clout and even placements on a pro team!
Major Optimization - Input Delay
Input delay is something that affects all games - Aiming especially. As such, it is something we always strive to reduce in any way possible.
In Update 0.77EB, we struck a breakthrough - Thanks to the fine work of our engineering team we were able to cut the input delay in Aim Lab by up to 50% in some scenarios - This should result in Aim Lab feeling overall much smoother and much more responsive to play!
First of all we wanted to thank each and every player that participated in the Andbox event - We had an outstanding turnout and the battle for the top spots was well fought! GG to everybody involved!
Wallpeek Tasks
Now that the Andbox event has concluded, the Wallpeek task, aswell as its variants have been made available for all players as a part of Aim Lab!
You can find these new tasks in the "Flicking" category - Split into three difficulty modes!
Wallpeek Beginner -
Single, Stationary targets
Wallpeek Intermediate -
Two mobile targets that can change directions at random
Wallpeek Expert -
Two extremely mobile targets that will make use of fast strafes, crouching and other tricks to throw you off!
