What happened to smart guns?

[cuolshan]

I'm more accurate hip shooting a pistol than firing a smart gun, especially a smart gun sniper rifle, I have better success throwing a knife at the same range, and before you ask, yes I went INT and the down the smart gun line

If this is true, I won't be happy. My favorite weapon is a smart sniper rifle and auto-headshotting people.

Don't know what to say once I'm locked on the smart gun does all the work even around corners

I fired 3 shots in a row directly at a stationary target with the smart sniper rifle and watched the bullets swerve away from the target, finally I took out my pistol and arced a long shot and popped him in the head.

At close range the smart pistol isn't that bad but even "locked" onto the head they don't all hit the head and will also hit the cover he is behind, which kind of defeats the purpose of a smart gun

I feel like you might not be allowing for the lock on. The little square needs to turn into a diamond before your are locked on once your locked on it is really hard to miss.

There does appear to be min/max ranges. The sniper has issue in close range

Was it a Tyger Claw?

Its not my first time at the the smart gun rodeo, I know how the smart gun works and when it locks, and I only use the smart gun sniper at longer ranges as I prefer using the smart gun pistol at closer, the whole point was to play a smart gun build.

Maybe I'll just save that play to revisit at a later date, once the kinks are worked out

I honestly don't remember his affiliation

[Graf Erik]

Well, Tyger Claws use smart gun jammers.
Now you know.

That's because some enemies counter smart guns.

I read that smart guns can only lock on one target now. Can anyone confirm if that's the case for the smart shotgun zhuo from Kang Tao? Used to be my favorite weapon when I could kill 3-4 enemies with one shot, but it would be completely pointless to only be able to lock on one single enemy with an overkill of 16 projectiles...

Not true. Perks unlock more targets.
