Summary
Barriers in between a player and enemy currently cause players on controller to not have any aim assist (even if block weapon fire is off, meaning players are meant to shoot through the barrier).

Steps to Reproduce
Put a barrier device in between you (the player) and the NPC, sentry or guard. Then with a weapon move your crosshair from left of the screen to the right passing by the NPC. This must been done on controller or mobile touch.
Expected Result
When moving your crosshair left to right usually it slows down when going past a enemy character (because of aim assist). As the barrier is set to not block weapon fire (meaning I should be able to shoot through) there should also be aim assist for controller player or mobile players.
Observed Result
When a barrier is enabled in between the character and the player when moving your crosshair left to right there is no ‘slowing’ or aim assist. It is blocked by the barrier.
Platform(s)
PC (only for controller), Console (Only for Controller and Mobile (Touch and Controller)

Additional Notes
This may be intentional? I don’t think it is or was like this before. In many examples, one being a aim training map, if a player needs to shoot at a target but also be kept in place by a barrier they will have no aim assist and struggle.
