How to Lean/Peek Manually in Cyberpunk 2077

Peeking or Leaning is rather a new feature in First-person shooters. The leaning feature allows players to quickly aim-down sight and manoeuvre left and right out of cover. As seen before in games-like Rainbow Six Siege and PUBG the Leaning feature allows players to deal with enemies in a fluid and exciting way. As most of the body remains in cover allowing a safer way to shoot rather than exposing yourself in open entirely. Although unlike most other games Cynerpunk implements this feature differently. Cyberpunk uses a more “Automatic” approach as you can only Peek when you aim-down sight at the edge of a wall. The game sort of puts you on the rail and leans your head out when aiming from behind cover which somewhat takes away the fluidity from the gameplay. In this guide, we will show you how to Lean/Peek Manually in Cyberpunk 2077 like Rainbow Six Siege.
