Your Mortal Shell 2 Weapons Don’t Have To Get You Killed
Cold Symmetry’s Mortal Shell 2, now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, includes default weapon settings that may frustrate new players. The game’s auto-targeting features, designed to help players land hits on enemies, can inadvertently cause problems during combat. Rather than providing precise control, these default settings can cause weapons to act as “an enemy magnet,” triggering overwhelming scenarios where players find themselves surrounded and quickly defeated.
A gameplay video shared on Reddit on August 21 illustrated this exact problem, showing how the game’s default weapon mechanics can catch players off-guard and result in rapid defeats. The article provides practical guidance on adjusting these settings to prevent weapons from becoming a liability in combat.
By understanding and tweaking the weapon-related settings available at the start of a Mortal Shell 2 playthrough, players can transform their approach to combat and avoid the frustration of being overwhelmed by their own weapon behavior.
