Combat / Targeting
On a gamepad, the ground target cursor can be positioned using camera controls.
It can also be positioned without moving the camera. The controls are as follows:
Move Cursor
Windows®: RB + Left stick
PS5™/PS4™: R1 + Left stick
Xbox Series X|S: RB + Left stick
Reset Cursor Position
Windows®: RB + Left Thumb-click
PS5™/PS4™: R1 + L3
Xbox Series X|S: RB + Left Thumb-click
* These controls can only be used when Ground Target Settings (Gamepad Mode) are set to Unlocked.
* The cursor position will be retained. Resetting the cursor will return it to the default position.
There are two types of ground target controls, "Locked to Cursor" and "Unlocked."
Locked to Cursor is ideal for players using a mouse, while Unlocked is recommended for those using a gamepad.
To change this setting, select either Gamepad or Mouse Mode from Character Configuration, then choose one of the two options under Ground Targeting Setting, Target Ring.
