How do you dive in CoD BO6?
Diving in Black Ops 6 is an incredibly straightforward process to perform, even in the middle of a fierce battle:
- PlayStation: Hold O
- Xbox: Hold B
- PC: Hold Z
PC players using a mouse and keyboard have the benefit of changing their keybinds to suit their own preferences so Z can be moved to an easier location to reach.
Diving hasn't been the most popular movement mechanic in Call of Duty for a while, but with Omnimovement allowing players to fire their weapons while flying through the air, there's a possibility it becomes a more popular option for those looking to catch the opposition off guard.
