Sight Jack

Learn how to effectively use the Sight Jack ability in Siren: Blood Curse. Master controls for single and multiple targets to navigate and survive.

Alright, let's talk about Sight Jacking in Siren: Blood Curse. This is a super important mechanic, especially starting from Episode 2, Chapter 4, so you'll want to get the hang of it.

Controls:

1. Begin/Cancel Sight Jack: Press L2. This splits your screen, showing your view on the left and the target's on the right.
2. Nearest/Alert Shibito: Tap R2 to instantly switch to the closest or currently alerted Shibito.
3. Cycle Targets: Tap L1 or R1 to cycle through available Shibito and ally views.
4. Lock-On: Once you've found a view you like, press [] to lock onto it. This view stays on the right side of your screen, letting you move freely on the left.
5. Cancel Sight Jack: Press L2 again at any time to exit the Sight Jack mode.

Multiple Targets:

This is where it gets a bit more advanced, but it's super useful. You can actually Sight Jack up to three targets at once!

1. Assign Shortcuts: While cycling through views with L1 or R1, press and HOLD / , O, or X to assign the current view to one of those buttons. Do this for up to three different targets, assigning each to a different button.
2. Viewing Multiple Targets: When you have three targets assigned, all three viewpoints will appear on the right side of your screen.
3. Moving with Multiple Targets: Here's the catch: you cannot move freely when all three views are active.
4. Locking onto One of Three: To move while Sight Jacking one of your assigned targets, press the button you assigned (/ , O, or X) to select that view, and *then* press [] to lock onto it. Now you can move on the left side while watching your chosen target on the right.
5. Resetting Multiple Views: If you want to get back to seeing all three views at once, exit Sight Jack by pressing L2, then press L2 again to bring them all back up.
6. Canceling a Single View: To remove one of your assigned targets, you'll need to overwrite it. Cycle with R1 or L1 to a new view, then press and HOLD the button (/ , O, or X) that was assigned to the view you want to remove. This will overwrite it with the new view.

Heads Up:

Be aware that when you're using multiple Sight Jack views, the animations can get a bit choppy. It's a trade-off for having all that intel at once, but it's something to keep in mind.
