Why Switch Target Control matters

Target switching is central to threat triage. Giant weapons, defensive systems and mixed air-ground battles can present many markers, and the nearest selection is not always the most important.

What is confirmed—and what is not

The retail target-cycling order, filters, reverse cycle and mouse selection options have not been shown.

Practical player guidance

Cycle until the intended threat is visibly selected before firing or issuing a targeted order, especially when a high-value objective sits near minor targets.

In-flight checklist

  1. Start with the confirmed purpose: Triangle switches the selected target on PS5, letting the player move between threats and objectives without waiting for the current lock to clear.
  2. Cycle until the intended threat is visibly selected before firing or issuing a targeted order, especially when a high-value objective sits near minor targets.
  3. Do not treat unpublished values as final: The retail target-cycling order, filters, reverse cycle and mouse selection options have not been shown.
