How do you lock on?

[PugaTheFlower]

ive invested in the gunnery ability, and it says that there is a lead on or lock on ability but i cant ever seem to get it to work. help would be appreiciated

[Tesper]

seems like it only works when you aim, and even then, lasts for literally half a second

Not sure about locking on, but the lead ability just draws a small white crosshair near the enemy to help you lead your shots if you aim at that point

[PugaTheFlower]

@pakaku, could you maybe show a screen shot of it? theres just so many different crosshairs in this game ive kinda lost track :P

There's a white reticle on targets you aim at to tell you where to aim. It's not a lock-on until rank 10 gunnery.

The lock on is actually referring to something else, guys! It's the ordanance (missiles) that you can shoot via alt fire hotkey.

If you hover over a target for long enough, the target reticle things that are around the enemy's HP bar will stop circling around it. This is the lock on, thus letting the homing missile (the default one) home in on your target once launched. If you don't let it lock on then it'll act as if it's just a dumbfire missile.

Don't have the beam one so can't confirm if that one would too. I know the Milati or whatever they call it are labeled as dumbfire swarm missiles though. Which means this lock on does not effect it.

Which is why Milati is the worse againts dodging fighters

The Tycho seeker it's already a homing missile.... the lock on refers to the damn railjack weapons not the ordnance BUT right now it's broken/bugged so when you aim it'll last for about 2-3s.
