Anyone who played Modern Warfare will be well aware of slide canceling, and it’s still an incredibly useful trick to wield in Warzone. It lets you chain together Tactical Sprints to move much faster than usual.
To do it on PC, you’ll need to change some keybinds to make it possible, but the mechanic is helpful no matter which platform you play on. Just go into the key settings and Rebind your left CTRL-key to “Change Stance/Slide.”

- Double-tap your left Shift button to start Tactical Sprinting
- Hold the left CTRL key to slide while you’re in the middle of your Tactical Sprint
- Immediately press CTRL again to crouch, so you return to a standing position.
