How to prevent autotarget - pressing Cross/A - from prioritizing allied duty NPCs?

[Rongway]

This is not what those filters are for. Those filters are for choosing which targets the game cycles through when using target cycling, ie. using the left/right d-pad buttons to switch between targets. Those filters don't affect which target is selected which press Cross/A.

This is not what cross/A is for. Use the target filters, the Target Nearest Enemy keybind, or the /targetenemy command.
