-As stated above, [[Auto-Aim]] is a way of making [[Aim & Shoot]] actions easier in games. By doing so, they create [[Player Augmentations]] and [[Player/Character Skill Composites]]. As such, they can both support and work against [[Balancing Effects]] in [[Multiplayer Games]]. Since they increase players' effectiveness, the pattern supports an [[Exaggerated Perception of Influence]], at least regarding the players' own contribution to the successes of the actions. Those instances of [[Auto-Aim]] that use lock-on add [[Point of Interest Indications]] to games.

 [[Auto-Aim]] can be said to work against the [[Gameplay Mastery]] pattern since it removes the need to become skilled in one area of competence from a game design. It also works against [[Perceivable Margins]] because it can actually become impossible to notice near misses, something which also makes the pattern incompatible with [[Near Miss Indicators]].

-[[Auto-Aim]] is added to games to make [[Aim & Shoot]] actions easier, most often in [[Combat]] situations and more often in games with [[Third-Person Views]] than [[First-Person Views]] since these types of actions  are more difficult in these. The site GiantBomb describes three different types of [[Auto-Aim]]<ref name="gb"/>: ''Reticule Magnetism'', ''Bullet Magnetism'', and ''Lock-on''.

-The first works by moving players' [[Crosshairs]] towards [[Enemies]] while the other modifies the trajectories of shots so that those aimed slightly wrong can hit anyway. Lock-on indicates [[Enemies]] with clearly distinguishable marker, often [[Geospatial Game Widgets]] or design solutions functionality the same as these, which players can traverse through by simple button presses and by doing so move their [[Crosshairs]] between the [[Enemies]].
