✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lock-on targeting is a game-changer for melee and ranged combat on controller.
- Touch control assists make mobile play actually viable.
- Active development (last updated June 2025) and a solid download count (2,167).
⚠️ Cons
- Only 77 endorsements—still a niche mod, so expect rough edges.
- Configurability means you'll need to tweak settings to get it just right.
For Daggerfall Unity players who use a gamepad or play on Android and want smoother combat targeting. Also great for anyone who misses Z-targeting from Zelda-style games. Skip if you're strictly mouse-and-keyboard and fine with vanilla aiming.

- Check the mod's settings in-game to adjust lock-on behavior to your liking.
- Pair with a good controller profile for DFU to get the most out of the assists.
