Shotgun Auto Aim/Lock On

Havent tried it since the patch today. Supposed to have been fixed though.

Just wondering, who used the shotgun with the auto lock-on exploit?

I will confess, I used it, a lot

Re: Shotgun Auto Aim/Lock On

It's not actually a massive advantage due to the shotty being so potent at close range anyway meaning anything around upper bodyt was instant kill either way BUT in a tight situation it was a massive advantage as you could snap to player after player.

Used it a few times on purpose, used it a few times simply due to L1 being aim on my control system and force of habit. It will not make much of a different, general aim in direction and fire means deader.

Combining the shotgun and the boost medal (had to find the shotty, haven't unlocked enough to combine yet) is a thing of beauty. Opponents certain you're glitching as you storm past them.

Re: Shotgun Auto Aim/Lock On

I just found out about it yesterday and used it quite a bit. It was very helpful in tight situations as you could lock onto one person to the next. You had to hold the aim button to activate it.

I hope you can't do it anymore.

The boost is a perk you get with the assualt class, it gives you a burst of speed for a limited amount of time.

Re: Shotgun Auto Aim/Lock On

Kind of funny, everyone has stopped using the shotgun now, me included

The boost perk comes with the assualt class.
