Depending on cyberware and the gun you’re using, you have to wait for the actual lock on. Pretty sure you pulled the trigger too early, have to wait until the + symbol shows up in the Diamond.

I noticed that it’s not actually locked on until that lock animation ends completely, was very irritating at first till I got use to it. Only noticed it with the sniper, simple fix would be to have it change color once it’s Locked on.

if you aren’t using the upgraded cybernetics for smart guns they are quite useless yes.on the other hand if you use them you dont need t aim at all 😂

-20% homing probability.

That was hilarious

I went tier 5 contagion with iconic Shingen smg and everything is exploding

Yep, seems like you have to wait a full 1 or 2 seconds after the lock animation finishes before the bullets actually attempt to home in without using any of the perks etc. Been using the silenced smg from PL to raise my Netrunning/Shinobi skills and it gets pretty annoying with how long I need to wait before the bullets will actually do the homing.
I’m a shotgun build btw but I wanted to hit 35 in Netrunning/Shinobi to get the 2 extra perk points. Order and Dezerter so fun.

Smart weapons in 2.0 are severly nerfed.
whoswipedmyname
Yep. This is my experience as well.
Smart guns are fantastic. I can clear whole rooms in seconds with a gun like Genjiroh.
But that damn sniper rifle misses 2/3ds of it’s locked on shots for me. I was really hoping for a smart weapon that doesn’t eat ammo like a fat kid with candy.

I could be wrong on this, but I thought that smart snipers have an optimal range and anything closer than that won’t lock on as well. I know that it is not stated, but I have noticed that enemies that are at least double the distance of the enemy you tried to shoot get hit far more times than at a closer range.
Huge_Aerie2435
I used to love the smart weapons preupdate, but now there is a 2 second window after it locks on where the bullet isn’t actually locked on. It is so fucking annoying, since the sniper is a single shot. They need to fix this bug, because it is extremely common for me. I rage quit last night because of this exact thing.
People in the comments are saying he wasn’t far enough away or something like that, but it doesn’t matter. The lock on thing is glitched.

The only one I use is the sniper because it’s really satisfying to use

when it comes to Smart Weapons, ARs, SMGs and Shotguns are my go to when going guns blazing, particularly those with effects like poison, shock or explosive rounds.
Plus they’re pretty useful to me, since I dont have to worry about aiming at an enemy or boss who can Matrix dodge.

I’m smart weapons all the way. The Ogou is pretty fierce and hits a lot of headshots and so does the Pizdets. Great additions in Phantom Liberty.

As a netrunner, if you’re using smart weapons as your first approach to anything, you’re doing something wrong.

Well yeah, for starters, you have to be smart to use a “smart” weapon. You use them smartly and well and they’re on par with every other build

I find the biggest issue is realizing the range for the weapon needed when it comes to smart weapons. 9/10 the Pistol and SMGs are the best smart weapons because their short range covers almost ANY situation, especially within the city limits. Big open areas are good for the Smart Rifle and the only use I’ve found for the Sniper is when I REALLY gotta reach out and touch someone. More often than not, it just sits in my inventory for those rare moments where I can post up somewhere.

I use power rifles with silencer for sneaking around. Perfect for close and far range.
Smart machine guns and shotguns when all hell breaks loose. Great for hitting two-three npcs at once, and the shotgun will make quick work of ‘💀’ npcs.

Smart weapons in 2.0 are not worth it.

Smart guns do feel kinda janky sometimes, though using their perks and the T5 smart link would probably help

I never liked smart weapons. Pre 2.0 or now, does not matter. I like to aim myself, thank you very much.
TomeKun
Where’d you get an iconic smart sniper ?
npbevo
I find smart SMG are good but yeah the sniper rifles not so much …..I guess if they were too “smart” you would never miss?
CheeseLoverMax
Exclusively with the smart snipers you have to wait a second before you can actually shoot after the lock
No idea why
NotAllDawgsGoToHeven
Yeah well I’ve definitely never used them while trying to be stealthy.
