How to Change Targeting Mode in GTA Online
Changing your targeting mode in GTA Online is super easy! Just hit the escape key to bring up the main menu, head over to 'Settings', then 'Controls', and look for 'Targeting Mode'. From there, you can switch between Free Aim, Assisted Aiming, and Traditional GTA, depending on what you prefer. Remember, you gotta make these changes in Story Mode or before joining a session, as the game locks the settings once you're online with others.

Hot take: Just stick to 'Free Aim' for the real challenge and skill showcase. Why bother changing?
Honestly, had to learn this the hard way, but you can't change targeting modes while in an Online session. I tried and got confused why it wasn't working. Make sure you're in Story Mode or before hopping into Online. Makes a world of difference in matches.
