Frequently Asked Questions

How do you lock onto an enemy in Focus?

Press the lock-on action in the controls menu while looking toward a target to anchor the camera and display the target indicator.

How do you switch between different targets while locked on?

Flick the mouse toward the next enemy to cycle targets based on the directional match threshold and mouse activation settings.

Can you filter out passive animals when locking onto targets?

Yes, enable target filtering and set the filtering mode to exclude passive mobs and neutral mobs from being targeted.

How do you open the camera editor in Focus?

Trigger the Open Camera Editor key in the controls menu, where you can press H to view adjustment controls and use Shift to make larger positional adjustments.

What does adaptive player transparency do?

Adaptive Player Transparency fades your character model when it obstructs the view of your locked target, keeping enemy movements clearly visible.

How does crosshair correction improve third-person aiming?

It projects a corrected reticle matching camera raycasts and entity hit calculations, ensuring attacks hit where the reticle aims.
