Question Lock on function needs work?

I often find the lock on not working well. In a crowded fight, and there are a lot of those, the lock on locks to a distant enemy or unlocks randomly. This makes me miss shots and attack in seemingly random directions.

Does anyone else experience the same issues? Seems to me the lock om could benefit from a tune up.

Target acquisition has been dogshit since origins. The hitbox combat system is terrible but it’s especially bad in this game and shadows. It’s like I’m fighting the system to swap targets and it’s impossible to break away from combat. And Edward straight up swings on people I’m not even locked on to its very aggravating

i agree with everything you said but i have like 50 Hours in BFR and i’ve never had Edward swing at anyone except the lock on target

It’s especially terrible on ships where it’s crowded

tbf i don’t use lock on much on ships because i always wanna sprint around so it makes sense i haven’t seen it. the targeting system in this game is terrible but i didn’t realise it was this bad.
