A slide could be a vital last-ditch play in Battlefield 6 that gets you out of trouble. Whether to evade gunfire or get into cover, a well-timed slide is essential. The game doesn’t teach you how to do this, but we will.
Battlefield 6 has a lot of game mechanics and settings you’ll find in most shooters. You can adjust your aim for finer tweaks, and you can tinker around with the graphics to find a setup that suits you. It’s the nuanced movements and actions that the community focuses on the most, in this case, a simple slide.
It’s not immediately apparent how to do one. Yet, it requires a simple prompt.
How to do a Slide in Battlefield 6
To slide in Battlefield 6, you must sprint with your operator, and while you’re running, double-tap the crouch button to initiate a slide.
It’s not really complicated to slide in BF6, all things considered. But, as we always do, here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:
- Get into a game of Battlefield 6.
- Sprint forward using L3 on PlayStation, LT on Xbox, or Left Shift on PC.
- Make sure you have some room in front of you.
- Now press the crouch button twice in quick succession—Circle on PlayStation, B on Xbox, or C on PC.
- Your character should launch into a slide.
As you’d expect, this causes you to slide along the ground. It’s quite a speedy maneuver, too.
Can You Slide Cancel in Battlefield 6?
Battlefield 6 doesn’t have a proper slide cancel like you’d find in Call of Duty; however, if done properly, you can slide and jump and make yourself much harder to hit in BF6.
I experimented with Battlefield 6’s slide mechanic and found that at the end of the slide, you can easily jump into the air like a spring chicken and land back on your feet to carry on as normal. It’ll be hard for the enemy to shoot a hardened soldier jumping around like a kid on a pogo stick, so I’d recommend incorporating this technique into your repertoire.
Again, it’s not an authentic CoD-esque slide cancel. Don’t expect to interrupt your slide and immediately start doing another one.
