Learn how to use the leaning mechanic in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare to expose less of yourself while shooting enemies.

The leaning feature in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare lets you lean out past or around a corner to check for enemies. This mechanic was initially only available in multiplayer mode but can now be used in both single-player and multiplayer modes. The primary benefit of leaning is that you expose a minimal amount of your character to the enemy, allowing you to shoot them while remaining relatively safe.

Tips
  • Try to utilize the leaning mechanic during urban battles for maximum effectiveness.
  • Use leaning to gain a tactical advantage by peeking around cover (a defensive position or obstacle that provides protection from enemy fire) without fully exposing yourself.
