Slide-cancelling is available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Even with the ability to slide, sprint and dive in all directions thanks to Omnimovement, slide-cancelling remains a popular movement mechanic in multiplayer.

It's certainly not as effective as previous titles but players can still cancel their slide for the slightest of movement speed increases.

How do you slide cancel in CoD BO6?

To perform a slide cancel using a controller, these are the steps to follow:

  • Begin Tac Sprinting
  • Press Crouch to trigger a slide
  • Follow up by pressing Jump to cancel the slide
  • Aim down sights immediately after the slide is cancelled

Translated into PlayStation and Xbox controller buttons these are the buttons to press:

  • PlayStation: O, O, X
  • Xbox: B, B, A

Slide cancelling provides a small boost of speed which comes in handy when moving into cover or to disrupt the aim of any enemies.

For PC players, the process of slide-cancelling differs for those using a mouse and keyboard. Here are the keys required to master the movement with ease:

  • C, C and Space Bar or Shift, Shift and Space Bar

With the beta in full swing and attention moving towards the full launch of Black Ops 6, slide-cancelling isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
