How to slide cancel in Warzone Mobile

Slide cancelling is considered one of the most overused game mechanics in FPS gaming, or at least that's what some say. The hype surrounding slide cancelling in Call of Duty has now spilt over to Warzone mobile. It might make you think if there’s any difference in how you slide cancel in Warzone Mobile.

The slide cancel is a slick move in Call of Duty that keeps your momentum going strong and makes it easier to dodge enemy fire. If you're new to Warzone Mobile or mobile gaming in general, start with a basic control setup and gradually add more complexity as you become more comfortable with the game mechanics.

If you want to become a harder target to kill in Warzone Mobile, this guide will break down everything from adjusting your control settings to executing slide cancels smoothly.

How to slide cancel in Warzone Mobile

Slide cancelling in Warzone Mobile is simple, but there's a bit of a learning curve to execute it cleanly. Open your HUD settings and find the crouch button option. Make sure it's set to 'split’ mode instead of 'merged’ mode.

In split mode, the crouch button works by itself, while in merged mode, it may be combined with another action button. Having a separate crouch button means you can press it precisely when you need to without mistakenly triggering other actions that might be combined with it.

If you're looking to smooth out those slide cancels, make sure to activate the 'always sprint' mode in your control settings under the movement category. To do a slide cancel, tap the crouch button two times. But don't tap too fast, or it might not work smoothly. Time your taps carefully and then jump afterwards. You can also slide cancel when you’re exposed and your weapon is out of ammo. That means you can slide around unpredictably, making it harder for enemies to aim and shoot at you while reloading.

You also gain an edge when you peek out to attack. When you're adjusting your HUD settings, focus on making sure you feel comfortable with how your controls work. Feel at liberty to experiment with different ways of setting up your controls and the display on your screen until you find what feels right for you. You can also get ideas from pro players or streamers for control settings, but make sure they match your play style.

Once you've found controls that fit your style, practice with them in-game before hopping into ranked matches, unless you're a risk-taker. Mastering the balance between being precise and responsive, and focusing intently on the timing of your slides, cancels, and jumps will help you to improve. You may also experience some glitches and errors, especially if your sensitivity settings are untouched or due to ongoing updates.

For a quick refresher, here are some handy bullet points on how to slide cancel consistently:

• Tap the crouch button
• Follow up by pressing the jump button

This results in a cancelled slide, allowing you to move around Verdansk and the multiplayer maps as fast as possible.

That settles how you can slide cancel in Warzone Mobile to unpredictably navigate the battlefield with fluid movement and precise timing. For more, check out our other Warzone Mobile guides revealing if the game has cross-progression and anti-cheat.
