Cold Symmetry's Mortal Shell 2 launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game includes several settings that influence how weapons track targets. By default, melee attacks are steered toward the nearest enemy, which can cause unintended hits. A Reddit user posted a video on August 21 showing a character being struck by an explosive after firing a sidearm, illustrating the issue. The user recommended changing two settings in the Game menu: Target Steering and Enable Free Aim. Setting Target Steering to Light or Off reduces the attraction of attacks to the nearest target, allowing attacks to be aimed at different enemies or environmental hazards. Enabling Free Aim allows the gun to be aimed freely without automatic lock‑on, while pressing the right trigger still enables manual targeting. Additional recommended changes include setting Auto Pick Up Gold to Yes, which removes the need to repeatedly press the interaction button, and changing the Camera Style from Immersive to Action to provide a wider view of the screen. The article advises testing these options to improve combat responsiveness against the game's bosses. The developers have not issued a statement about the targeting mechanics.
