    Unable to target/Lock on PC


    Is anyone else having issues with the target/lock on when using Mouse Keyboard on PC? I've put about 6 hours in on the Xbox, but as soon as I switch to PC, I can't lock on to anything. This means no lethals, extractions, etc. I started a new save game on
    PC to start from the beginning and can't get past the second door where you have to fire the extractor and pull on it. It just gives me an X reticle when I try. Right-clicking on my mouse zooms in, it just never locks on.

    :)

    How do you switch it? After I lock onto an enemy it switches to another

    Turn off automatic lock on.

    Manual lock on is a click of the right stick to lock on.

    To change targets you flick the right stick in the direction of the new target you want to lock on to.

    Are you using automatic lock-on? I've never used that. Prefer to manually lock on to my targets.

    Unable to target/Lock on PC

    Update: It looks like it's a bug with the game - I have a 3 monitor Eyefinity setup that is 5760x1080. I had the game running at that resolution(which it allowed me to do, and just blacked out the right and left screens). I changed the game to run at 1600x900
    in windowed mode, and I can target lock now. Has anyone else experienced this? Any way I can file a bug report with the devs?

    Borgia Towers?

    Just utilize smoke bombs, by locking in on target, throw smoke bomb, then assassinate target as required.

    SOFLAM help out

    It laser designates a target for a jet or chopper that's carrying Air to Ground missiles, shows up as a big orange square on their screen. I don't think they help with locking on because the few times someone lasered a target for me I still had to lock on
    to the target manually.
