Shootouts
E.O.D. agents are officially "encouraged" to bring suspects in without resorting to the use of deadly force, but the reality of the streets proves using a weapon is simply unavoidable.
A yellow reticule will appear over your selected target. You can change targets by moving the right analog stick in the direction of the target you want to switch to.
The amount of ammo you have left in your guns is shown in the upper left corner of the screen next to your health display. When you run out of bullets in your pistols, Nick will automatically reload.
You will never run out of ammunition for your pistols but this is not the case for other weapons you pick up. Note that the reticule only auto-targets enemies, not innocent bystanders.

Precision Targeting
Hold down the R1 button to go into precision targeting mode. While in precision targeting mode, the screen will zoom in on your target.
Use the left analog stick to move the reticule over your target and press the R1 button again to fire. You will stay in precision targeting mode until your gun runs out of ammo.
You can exit this mode by pressing the Δ, O, X or R2 buttons.
Take Cover
Many rookie agents have fallen in the line of duty by recklessly charging into battle. Your vest will protect you only so much, so use the environment to your advantage.
Press and hold the X button next to a wall or car to take cover. While holding the X button, target an opponent and press the R1 button to quickly pop out and fire.
Keep Moving
If you find yourself taking fire out in the open, tap the Δ button to quickly roll in the direction you're moving. Press and hold the Δ button to perform a slo-mo dive - keep pressing the R1 button and you can even squeeze off a few shots mid-air.
Upgrades
Visit 24/7 shooting ranges to earn upgrades like a laser sight, faster aiming reticule and improved precision targeting.
Picking Up Weapons
When defeated, a suspect will drop his weapon. Maneuver Nick next to the weapon and press the O button to kick it up into your hand, which replaces one of your pistols.
Pick up a second dropped weapon and Nick will put his other pistol away. Try different weapon combinations to unleash
