WhenGhost of Tsushimaoriginally launched as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in 2020, there were some complaints from gamers regarding the absence of a lock-on feature for the game. It was impossible to target one specific enemy at a time, making some players find combat scenarios less enjoyable. However, things have changed withGhost of Tsushima’s 2.04 patch that camewith theIki Islandexpansion, and fans can now toggle a lock-on function.
How to Lock On in Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushimaplayerswill want to press the options button (on a PlayStation Controller) to enter the main menu. From there, they should head into theGameplaysection. Right underneath the’Enable Armor Loadouts' setting, players should see an option for ‘Target Lock.’ It will be set to off at first, but there are two other options that players can choose from, both offering different types of ways to utilize the target lock feature.
Players can set the toggle to ‘On,’ which means that players can use the up button on the d-pad to toggle the lock-on feature on and off. When target lock has been activated, players will use the right stick to switch betweenenemy targets inGhost of Tsushima.
The second option, ‘Swap on Defeat,’ is essentially the same as the regular option. When Jin Sakai targets an enemy, all of his attacks will go towards that one target, similar toother action games with a lock-on system. But once a player defeats a targeted enemy in battle, the game will automatically lock the player on to the next available target. Players can still use the right stick to change targets, however.
Once players have the lock-on system figured out, they can continue to play through thehighly praised story thatGhost of Tsushimahas to offer. Or, if players have seen everything there is to see, they can explore the Iki Island area that comes with the Director’s Cut version ofGhost of Tsushima.
