What does mobile auto shoot mean?

[TinBoxGunner 140]

I saw hopper vulcan, which was floating around and hitting almost with every bullet?  Does this have something to do with mobile auto shoot or was

that just a highly skilled player?

On mobile, there is auto-shooting, and auto-aim.

 

Auto-shooting is a new aiming.mode available for mobile players. Rather than manual aiming and shooting with a shoot trigger, the turret will fire when an enemy is highlighted in red. The range at which an enemy is highlighted differs from turret to turret. 

With the auto-shooting mode enabled, Vulcan is a special case. Rather than instantly firing when an enemy is highlighted, it has its own shoot trigger. This shoot trigger toggles between winding up the barrels and winding it down, like an on/off switch. 

 

Auto-aim refers to the horizontal auto-aim that mobile players have. Turrets on PC only have vertical auto-aim. Horizontal auto-aim allows the player to hit a target that is not directly in front of them. Where on PC you would have missed, on mobile it would hit. The cone angle for the auto-aim isn't very large. 

 

 

 

With that said, it was likely a highly skilled player using PC. Vulcan's projectiles aren't exactly stable with mobile's horizontal auto-aim and you will miss quite a number of projectiles from time to time.

The auto-shoot feature in mobile version is merciless. I have seen people curving their railgun shots beyond impossible.
