How to Turn on Aim Assist

This guide will show you the effects of the Aim Assist feature, and how it can be used to your advantage. Read on to learn the effects of Auto-Target and Lock-On Aim features in the The Last of Us Part II.

How to Turn on Aim Assist

Aim Assist slightly slows down the movement of your crosshair when hovering on an enemy target. This feature is automatically enabled, and is set to 10 by default in any difficulty. This can be changed by going to the Assistance section from the Controls Menu inside the Options.

Lock-On Aim

Turning on the Lock-On Aim will automatically lock-on your crosshair to the enemy's body when aiming. You can also press the R3 button to target the head or the legs of an enemy.
This can also be changed at the Assistance section from the Controls Menu inside the Options.

Auto-Target

Selecting Auto-Target will automatically lock your aim onto the next enemy, even if they are offscreen.
