How to dive in CoD BO6 explained
A well-timed dive makes all the difference.
The ability to dive in Call of Duty has a wealth of benefits on the virtual battlefield.

Does CoD BO6 have diving? Latest news
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 does feature the diving mechanic in the campaign, multiplayer and zombies modes.
Fans can see diving in action during several gameplay trailers that Treyarch has already published and during matches as the beta continues to progress.
It's too early to tell whether diving in Black Ops 6 will be the preferred movement mechanic to use but for now, it's an excellent tool to enter cover quickly and to create moments worthy of any highlight reel.
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.
How good is diving in CoD BO6?
Diving has its advantages in Black Ops 6.
Thanks to Omnimovement allowing players to twist while in the middle of a dive, it's very easy to continue the fight even while flying through the air.
