Leaning Around Corners in Ghost Recon Breakpoint

Fortunately, the game actually makes this incredibly easy to do. All you need to do is walk over to a wall or a bit of cover and either stand (if it’s tall enough) or crouch behind it. Your character will automatically use this to protect themselves.

Now, move to the end of a wall, or if you’re simply wanting to peer over the wall, push your analog stick in towards the cover. You should now see a directional arrow appear facing away from the wall next to your reticle (or facing upwards if you want to peer over).

Press L2 on PS4 or LT on Xbox One and you’ll lean in the direction of the arrow, and aim around corners or cover. Let go of L2/ LT and your character will take cover back behind the wall or object once again.

Leaning Around Corners in Ghost Recon Breakpoint

  1. Get Behind Cover (it can be a wall, low-wall, tree or anything else)

  2. Move to One Side of the Cover and Look Out for the Directional Arrow

  3. Press L2 on PS4 or LT on Xbox One to Lean Out in That Direction and Aim Down Sights

  4. Let Go of the Trigger to Retreat Back Into Cover

Effectiveness

Leaning around corners to aim is a great way of keeping your health in-tact when you’re coming under heavy fire. The third-person camera and minimap allow you to pinpoint enemy locations while in cover, meaning you can quickly lean and aim around corners, deal damage or drop an enemy, and quickly retreat without taking a hit.

That’s everything you need to know about leaning around corners in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. For more tips, tricks, and guides, be sure to check out our ever-expanding guide wiki, search for Twinfinite, or check out more of our guides below.
