How to take cover?
Hey all.

I've been looking around on the cover system and wasn't sure how to take cover. Everything says it's contextual and no buttons are required, but my character simply won't go into cover, either in 1st or in 3rd person.

I'm sure the answer is really simple. Playing on PC btw, would appreciate help! :)

I didn't even know there was a cover system.
There is no dedicated cover system like some FPS does. All you can do is croush behind rock or furniture then hope that enemy bullet does not hit you.

Opfer_GV is correct. There's no snap-to-cover system, you have to either use the environment or build your own.

Adding on to this, the only real interaction is if your character holds their weapon "across their chest". This means you'll lean out when aiming. But there's no "snap to cover" like in some shooters.

Ahh, okay. "Snap to cover" is what I was expecting, so that clears things up.

So essentially, just crouch behind cover and use the keybinds to lean out for safer shooting?
