Hello Riders! I'm starting in combat, so I would make an issue:
After my death I see the convergence (sign of the cross and the ball hud batlemach) in full funcinamento when they saw appear suddenly comes to the line connecting the circle with the cross.
In my batlemachs not work like that, always the circle is inside the cross a bit difficult during combat, anyway. I wonder if there is any option to enable the convergence and have to buy something to activate it?
Thank you.

The circle is the aiming reticle for your Arm mounted weapons, and the cross is for aiming your torso mounted weapons. If they move closely in sync, it means that the pilot has Arm Lock enabled. Arm Lock is enabled by Default, and can be disabled through the Settings menu.

You can disable it, and then manually (temporarily) enable it by holding LEFT SHIFT on the keyboard. This will use Arm Lock for the duration that you're holding it down.

As for when you die and the game just draws a line while giving you the dramatic spin of your exploded mech husk, it happens.

It was the arm lock that was active.
Thank you very much.

Another neat trait of this two-crosshair system is that you can take control of your arms by using the Left CTRL key. You can make arm gestures, wave, and even block bullets using this. Some mechs also block LRMs very well by throwing their arms into the air to act as shields.

Some arms will not move. Typically these are arms that do not have weapons.

Some arms cannot move left or right.

Good luck!
