Add Auto-Leaning Near Cover

Under considerationby kedyn lundy · 30 Aug

Add an optional system that detects nearby walls, corners, and other suitable cover. When the player aims or attempts to peek around the edge, the character would automatically lean in the appropriate direction. This would make peeking feel more natural and reduce the number of dedicated keybinds required, while allowing players who prefer manual leaning to keep the existing controls.

    I have looked all around the settings for the auto lean on and off that used to be in game or binding settings now is no longer anywhere to be found. I can only manually lean holding q or e.

    There is option in the settings for me to enable auto leaning

  • Linus03 Sept

    the auto lean from the first update was really usefull and you didnt have too press lean everytime

  • Mikethequad 03 Sept

    Would love to have auto lean added back. It was a great option that can be turned off. Also great for accessibility purposes for those with motor dexterity disabilities

    Currently, Bodycam requires separate key presses (like Q and E) to lean left or right. An automatic lean-and-peek system would greatly improve tactical awareness. When the player stands near a corner or edge, the character should automatically shift their view slightly beyond the wall or door. This would eliminate the need for extra keybinds, allowing players to smoothly monitor areas beyond cover, increasing responsiveness and immersion in tactical scenarios.

    An automatic leaning feature meaning, when you ADS while standing at a corner, your character automatically leans around it. The manual leaning is nice for fine control, but can feel clunky in fast-paced combat.

  • Kevern04 Sept

    Autolean option in settings no longer available would love to use this feature again

  • NXZT04 Sept

    Since the update dropped this option is gone from settings.

  • Dave08 Sept

    put autolean back into game please.

  • L11 Sept

    This was one of my favorite features before the recent patch. Q/E manual leaning feels very sluggish in comparison. Inb4 skill issue
