How to Take Cover in GTA 5
Taking cover in GTA 5 is super easy and a total game-changer when you're in the middle of a shootout! Just press 'Q' on your PC keyboard, or if you're on console, press the 'R1' button on PlayStation or 'RB' on Xbox. This lets your character hide behind nearby objects like walls, cars, or whatever else you find that can shield you from bullets.

Pro tip: while in cover, you can also peek out to shoot by aiming with your weapon. This helps you stay protected while taking down the baddies!
Honestly, just smash 'Q' if you're on PC, or 'R1'/ 'RB' depending on your console, and you're golden. No need to overcomplicate things!
I dunno, I just run in guns blazing. Taking cover is for the cautious players, not the brave ones like me!
