A video game trope, most often seen in platformer bosses. The enemy will be preparing some sort of attack, and a crosshair or some other target marker will appear on the screen and follow the player around, showing where the attack will land. Sometimes this can make sense when used with "Jaws" First-Person Perspective, but usually there's no reason for the target marker to be there apart from making the attack easier to avoid. May also manifest as a Laser Sight. It's one of the Acceptable Breaks from Reality provided by video games, because an attack that's impossible to know where/when it's coming would be Fake Difficulty for the player, especially if Hitscan is involved. A variation of this would be a shadow on the ground, indicating an object that is going to fall on that spot. This is sometimes the case with enemies that throw rocks or other heavy objects, or ones that jump up and try to land on you from above. This term may also apply to NPC enemies that seem aware they have been targeted, when they would realistically have no way of knowing they were being aimed at. Enemies may be target aware if they move or change direction suddenly as the player's crosshair crosses or pauses on them when they were not "watching" the player at the time. The non-Video Game version is the Bond Gun Barrel. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Deku Toad, Mini-Boss of Lakebed Temple, uses the "shadow that tells you where it's going to land" variation. Hopefully, it misses by at least a tadnote pole. Blizzeta, the boss of Snowpeak Ruins, relies on the player using the reflection in the ice floor Link is running on. |

Green's Seven Force's Tiger Force in Gunstar Heroes either uses a small crosshair, which indicates where it will fire a small beam to, a very large crosshair which indicates where it will fire a large explosive (that covers the entire area of the crosshair), or a dotted line that indicates where it's going to shoot a laser beam. | |

Crash Bandicoot: N. Gin's boss battle in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back uses an interesting variation of this, where the places the missiles are going the hit is indicated by their shadow. In Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy they are replaced by crosshairs proper. The first boss of Crash Twinsanity. |

Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong 64 features a non-boss example in a haunted temple, accompanied by a very creepy voice that growls "GET OUT", and you have ten seconds to do so before the ghost sniper (?) focuses on you and fires a shot. The level "Krak Shot Krok" of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has you constantly stalked by an offscreen Kremling sniper. The crosshair flashes for about a second before he takes a shot, and it briefly pauses as he actually fires. There's also a bonus level where you play as the sniper and blast enemies, and eventually shoot the coin to collect it. Another later level does a variant with lightning. There is a flash of lightning in the sky to indicate where the lightning is going to land on the ground. Which is very necessary, as the lightning anticipates your movements and fights fairly intelligently. Donkey Kong Country Returns has a level where you're riding on a rocket barrel and a bunch of pirate crabs take aim at you with a big on-screen crosshair, before firing some kind of anchor-chain projectile that ends up wrecking their own ship. |

In one level of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, an out-of-range robot pirate is throwing explosive barrels at you, and a crosshair appears on the ground where one's going to land. You actually need to get the robot to throw a barrel onto a certain breakable section of the ground in order to move forward, which makes the crosshair quite useful for determining whether it's going to land there or not. | |

Half-Life 2 has a couple of examples. The snipers have visible laser sights, and at one point the player must bypass an energy weapon which takes time to charge a shot. An expanding pool of light appears where the shot is about to hit, giving an alert player just enough time to avoid it. The engine itself supports triggers based on where you look, among other things. |

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade: One of the Tau Commander units can call in an orbital strike anywhere in a radial area, which manifests itself in a beam of light that grows wider and then pretty much obliterates any forces unlucky enough to be standing there; those units having about, oh, half a second to move as soon as they see the light. The Skyray Missile Gunship places some HUGE crosshairs when it opens fire, although I'm pretty sure they're only visible to the player who ordered it. The Imperial Guard can call in Earthshaker artillery strikes, manifesting as a canister emitting red smoke. The command squad's strafing run, however, is not highlighted. A bizarre crosshair symbol appears whenever the Force Commander calls in an orbital bombardment (as if the Pillars of Light appearing weren't a big enough clue). Anytime a unit is teleported to the battlefield, the location shows up as five red triangles on the ground. The more reactive players will time it with a Crosshair Aware attack of their own. Most bosses in Dawn of War II highlight the ground with a glowing symbol a few seconds before hitting it with a devastating attack. |

Shinobi III: In Round 3 (Body Weapon) Joe will eventually travel through a fairly squicky Womb Level to reach and confront the grotesque and huge bioweapon boss Hydra. Along the way the Hydra will surface in the background and target Joe with a computerized array. If the crosshair touches Joe it locks on and the Hydra blasts him with an energy beam breath weapon. If Joe blocks the Hydra's line of sight though, the targeting array temporarily shuts down as the Hydra submerges and waits for him to become visible again. | |

Final Fantasy XIV indicates AOE attacks with markers on the ground. Players targeted for certain attacks or mechanics will get a marker floating over their heads. Some bosses in the Heavensward expansion have attacks which mark a character or location with bright orange arrows, indicating the party needs to stack on them to avoid damage (or instant death). | |

World of Warcraft: Many bosses and encounters feature effects that broadcast the locations of attacks in advance. Regularly, bosses create areas that will damage the player. Bad juju, harmful magic, fire pits, and collapsing earth are just some examples of things you need to watch out for. The colloquialism for these areas is "Not standing in the fire." In Cataclysm, Blizzard introduced an Achievement called "Stood in the Fire" as an homage to World of Warcraft's reliance on this mechanic in raids and dungeons, however the achievement itself is not an example of this; it is actually for being randomly killed by the expansion's Big Bad out in the world when he carpet-bombs a zone. The Skyship battle in Icecrown Citadel is a better example, as the rockets fired from one ship to another during the fight put target markers on the ground where they'll land. |

In one fight, Baron Praxis from Jak II: Renegade uses a Macross Missile Massacre attack that does this. Cyber-Errol from Jak 3: Wastelander also has this attack during one fight. He also has a variant with one missile, which is guided. The crosshair keeps following Jak even after it fires (unlike the MMM attack). |

Hybrid Heaven does a Puzzle Boss variation of this — the hulking white-colored monster that chased the player during Chapter 2 returns alongside a red-colored copy, and both will try to tag-team the player; White will chase after the player while Red launches fireballs. The trick is to lure White into the crosshairs of Red's projectiles, eventually killing it after enough hits. Afterwards, you have to lure Red into charging into a large gate that will drop the monster down a pit, but sometimes Red will catch on and try to snipe you with more fireballs instead of charging. | |

The level "Krak Shot Krok" of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has you constantly stalked by an offscreen Kremling sniper. The crosshair flashes for about a second before he takes a shot, and it briefly pauses as he actually fires. There's also a bonus level where you play as the sniper and blast enemies, and eventually shoot the coin to collect it. Another later level does a variant with lightning. There is a flash of lightning in the sky to indicate where the lightning is going to land on the ground. Which is very necessary, as the lightning anticipates your movements and fights fairly intelligently. |

Underhero features this during the boss fight against T. Bur to let you know when to avoid getting hit by the huge laser when it locks on. You end up using this to your advantage once the boss is stunned and you have access to a button that activates the laser, getting it to aim at him since you don't have any of your own weapons for this battle. | |

In Path of Exile several bosses have attacks that create a marker before the attack hits.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the Death Egg Robot has an attack where it flies off the screen before coming crashing back down to try to crush Sonic. However, it takes a while to lock onto the blue blur, with a visible crosshair following Sonic. Once it stops moving, that's your cue to get away as the Death Egg Robot comes crashing down where the crosshair is. | |

Hilarious example from BlazBlue. When Kagura goes up against a female fighter (except Rachel, Kokonoe, Makoto or either form of Tsubaki), his match intro shows three crosshairs coming up over the girl in question, followed by a little readout that gives their BWH measurements. He then makes a comment and starts the fight. Check it out. Taken to ridiculous extents, crossing with Computer Is a Cheating Bastard and The All-Seeing A.I.. When you respawn from being KO'd in battle, you select your location - seems useful if you want to distance yourself from the fray, right? Wrong. The enemies can see your crosshair before you respawn and will chase you down. It's okay if you're going against Chaos, not so good if it's... anyone else, really. |

Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii is played from the first-person perspective, and any ranged or magical attacks thrown by the enemy will show their point of impact on the screen, where you are then supposed to move your shield to block it. In addition, the point of impact's color tells you what type of attack it is: red is blockable, orange is magical, and blue is repellable - if you hit a blue projectile attack just before it would cause damage, you send it back where it came from. Some enemies (read: a lot of enemies) can only be killed by successfully repelling a ranged attack. | |

The Elder Scrolls: In Morrowind, aggro'd enemies will strafe to avoid your ranged attacks/spells, but only if your crosshair is actually on them. Aim slightly to the side and they won't bother, as if they know you won't hit them. The game's Painfully Slow Projectiles also do not help. In Skyrim NPC ranged attackers will strafe from side to side to make themselves harder to hit with ranged attacks and NPC mages will leap to avoid ranged attacks ... sometimes even when you're supposedly hidden from them. |

In Mother 3, the hulking Natural Killer Cyborg's ominously named "End of the Century Beam" attack places crosshairs on all of your PCs' Hit Point counters before launching the giant screen-filling beam. As this is a Turn-Based Combat game, the crosshairs are purely for intimidation. | |

Splatoon 2: The game introduced the Tenta Missiles, which cause a reticle to appear underneath you, and the ensuing rockets will be marked by small circles on the ground. The large reticle also has a small bit that points towards the general direction of the player firing the Tenta Missiles. In Salmon Run, a small fishing lure floats in green ink and emits a pulse when it gets close to players just before Maws erupts from the ink to feast on Inklings. You need to get away before then; even the Inkjet will not save you as they surface quite high. |

Touhou Project A laser from a boss is usually announced with a thin white beam you must stay away from. Most Valuable Vajra, Shou's ridiculously hard spellcard: When a circle appears, one of the pairs of lasers is going to move its origin point there! While still rotating. The spellcard is borderline impossible to capture on anything above easy (and even then, it's only capturable on easy because the easy version only has one pair of lasers, not two). Inverted in Touhou Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story, where one of Yuuka's spellcards has a circle show up. That circle is the safe spot; everything else is filled with bullets. |

In The Secret World, whenever an enemy uses a ground-based area of effect attack, the visual cue is an expanding white circle or cone in the targeted area, which 'fires' when it reaches the outer border. Foes which use mortar-based attacks which fill up half the screen in waves are also fairly common, especially amongst bosses. | |

Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl does this briefly at the beginning of a sequence where you run across a field, hiding behind hay bales from a sniper hiding in a tree. The viewpoint switches briefly from the player character's to the sniper's viewpoint, with a crosshair overlaid. It's used to notify you about the sniper's presence and position in the first place. After his first shot, though, the game switches back to first-person perspective. | |

The snipers in Team Fortress 2 use laser sights of their team's color (along with their scopes), so you know whether that crosshair is protecting your exit or pinning you down. Sentries controlled with a Wrangler project a team-colored laser beam which is visible not just where it points but also in mid-air so the Engineer, who doesn't have a Sniper's first person view of the weapon, can tell where exactly the thing is pointing. In Mann vs. Machine mode, sniper bots also have entire visible beams to make up for how many of them are typically out at once. |

In XCOM 2, when ADVENT calls in reinforcements, a red flare appears on the ground where they'll land, and the camera even pans to the exact location to make sure you really don't miss it. You then have until the start of the next turn to get your troops in position for a proper reaction shot welcome party. A downplayed example is the ADVENT Officer's Mark ability that places a visible blue target marker on the victim. The ability increases other ADVENT troops' aim against the marked target and focuses their fire on it for that turn, so if one of your operatives got marked and survived the following bullet storm, better move them to out of sight ASAP or kill the Officer. |

The eponymous Trillion: God of Destruction telegraphs its attacks with squares that start with a white crosshair, then yellow, then red right before the attack lands. Complicating things is the fact Trillion can launch many attacks at once and carpet the area with overlapping threat zones. On the other hand, training your Overlord's speed stat makes the warnings last longer, giving more turns to thread the needle. | |

Carrier Airwing: Both the Tu-126 "Moss" and the boss of the Mediterranean stage will attempt a Missile Lock-On on your jet. If it's succesful you'll hear a warning klaxon and a Macross Missile Massacre and a fast-moving missile will attempt to hit you respectively. | |

The spy player in SpyParty can see the beam from the sniper's laser sight, giving them an idea of where their opponent may be looking. | |

In Vexx, the second fight against the sumo boss equips him with a pair of bracelets that can... control flying rocks, for some reason. (Just run with it.) When he's about to summon from stones from the sky to hit you, a crosshair appears on the ground, telling you to get away. | |

In a game based off The Lost World: Jurassic Park, you play as various dinosaurs and human characters. In one level where you play as a compsognathus, you have to avoid a human hunter trying to shoot you by staying out of the targeting circle. | |

Sometimes in the Berlin levels of Walker, you'd move to a new area with no-one in it, just a flashing crosshair on the ground. That would be the Luftwaffe on a bombing run, then. Best not be underneath. In the Los Angeles level, enemy suicide bombers will run from your crosshair if targeted. | |

In Mega Man Battle Network, panels briefly flash yellow to indicate which ones are about to be struck. The crosshair variant is also seen frequently, the various cannon viruses, some Navis (Search Man in particular), and a number of battle chips making use of it. The shadow variant shows up as well and almost always is used as a warning sign for falling rocks. | |

In Tomb Raider (2013) and its sequel, if you get any game that's alerted to Lara's presence in your sights, you have a split-second at best to pull the trigger before it either runs away or, if it was already moving, changes direction almost instantly. This makes startled herbivores the most difficult-to-hit entities in the game by a considerable margin, especially while wielding a bow due to its projectile travel time and the slight delay between pressing the shoot button and Lara actually releasing the arrow. | |

Mega Man: In Mega Man Battle Network, panels briefly flash yellow to indicate which ones are about to be struck. The crosshair variant is also seen frequently, the various cannon viruses, some Navis (Search Man in particular), and a number of battle chips making use of it. The shadow variant shows up as well and almost always is used as a warning sign for falling rocks. Also used as a game mechanic in the later games, where attacks with crosshairs will hit an invisible target or one with Mercy Invincibility. Burai from Mega Man Star Force 2 takes it a step further. If you lock on to him, he will actually break the targeting cursor. Search Man from Mega Man 8 will fire homing missiles at Mega Man if his lock-on touches him. Blast Hornet from Mega Man X3 will use this as a Desperation Attack, making bees home in on you. Cyber Peacock from Mega Man X4 locks onto you before he fires his homing explosive Feather Flechettes. Deerburn the Gazelleroid of Mega Man ZX Advent points out the exact location where he plans to do his rocket headbutts and diving kicks. It's supposed that he's a tutorial on attack patterns for newbies to the genre. In the arcade game Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, an attack Wily performs when his health is reduced is a ring of explosions, the location of which is identified by a crosshair. It's about to fire when the crosshairs read "ROCK ON!" (Pun or Japanese Ranguage? You decide!) |

X-Men Origins: Wolverine features a short passage in which the player has to fight thei way through a bunch of mooks while seeing themself through the scope of Nord's sniper rifle. Just a bit later they have to evade Nord's sniper rifle again, this time in the normal third person perspective but with a clearly visible red laser sight showing where the sniper is aiming. | |

Super Smash Bros.: The cannon on the Halberd stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl occasionally tracks one of the players with these. A player who assembles the Dragoon gets to aim his instant death attack with a crosshair as everyone else evades. Snake's Final Smash is similar. Assist trophy Yuri Kozukata stands in the background and photographs the fighters, represented by the frame of her Camera Obscura's lens panning around the screen. |
