Trouble targeting specific body parts?

[Detrian]

Sup. I've been playing this game and really enjoy it but am I the only one who has trouble trying to target specific titan body parts? I don't know why but my reticle sometimes refuses to go for the body part I want or even resets back to the one I'm already targeting. It makes fighting bosses a real chore because I can't aim for the green weak spots. Is this some sort of gameplay element? Something messed up with my control?

i only played a little bit so far but it feels pretty easy to me. would say the same if not even better than in the first game.

Do you use KB&M or Pad? And what type/Manufacturer?

Also i think theyres an option in the game that makes it so the nape is always targeted first when locking on or something like that . i turned that off cause it sounds pretty annoying tbh and just like in the first game you can instantly target nape by just flicking rightstick up once after locking onto a titan. So maybe check that one out as well maybe that helps.

Edit: nevermind the option is called sight lock and is only relevant for the gun weapon.

Personally, I recommend KB+M for that game, with pad it's way harder to aim (most of my friends switched from it since it sucked a lot). Then you just scroll up or down the body part and that's all. Easy-peasy.

I'm on a gamepad and using a dualshock 4. I don't recall having this issue with the first game so it's weird.

Image titans having three layers: Legs, arms and nape.
If you target down, you switch from nape to arms to legs. If you target up, you switch from legs to arms to nape.

If you want to switch to the other arm/leg, you use left/right.

So... If you are locked onto the right leg for instance and the left arm is the titans weakspot, you flick the analog stick up once and then left. Switching to the left leg after that: down. Right arm: up, right. Right leg: down. Nape: up, up. etc...

Your view and the orientation of the titan doesn't matter. It's always the same so you can target the right spot (i.e. the nape) even without having to see the titan.

Hope it helps.
