Basic Controls

Input	What It Does	Tips
LS	Walk	Tilt LS in any direction. The greater the gradient, the faster you walk.
L+L3	Run	Running is the fastest movement speed, it slowly depletes your stamina.
L+L3+Circle/B	Slide	While running, pressing B will make you slide and end in a crouched position. It’s really handy when you need cover in a firefight or need to get out of sight fast to avoid hostiles.
X/A	Jump	It can be used to traverse gaps, jump onto elevated surfaces, and vault obstacles such as walls. Leaping while running increases your jumping distance. While jumping, hold L forward, and you will automatically grab Ledges within reach.

Stealth Controls

Input	What It Does	Tips
Circle/B	Crouch	Crouching is a great way to remain undetected during infiltration situations. Crouch walking allows you to move steadily and silently. Taking down an unaware enemy is the best way to sneak up on them. To stay undetected, crouching should be your default stance whenever you enter a hostile area with substantial enemy forces.
Square/X	Chokehold	Using this grappling technique, you can stealthily remove an enemy from the equation if you approach them from behind. You can take down your victim lethal or non-lethal once you’ve grabbed them. Both options are equally silent. It’s important to note that enemies above your level are immune to your attacks.
L1/LB (Hold)	Scan	Hold L1 to activate your scanner. Color-coded highlights reveal essential information about your environment: enemies (red), clues (gold), devices (green), and interactive objects (blue). You’ll get a zoom feature with improved optics; use the d-pad to zoom in and out while scanning.
L1/LB (Hold)	Quickhack	You’ll see your quick hack options, like pacifying a device or blinding an enemy, whenever you scan a suitable Target. Use the D-pad to navigate and Square/X to confirm.
L1/LB (Hold) + R3	Tag	Click R3 while scanning enemies to tag them. The glowing outline of tagged enemies makes it easy to track their movements even after you turn off your scanner. It’s a great tool for stealth.

Vehicles Controls

Input	What It Does	Tips
Square/X	Get in	You can also hijack a vehicle if you hold Square/X, but you will only succeed if you are stronger than the driver.
R2/RT (Hold) + L	Drive	Hold R2 accelerate and steer with L.
X/A	Handbreak	Press X to activate your handbrake. You can use it to drift around the corners.
Triangle/Y	Draw Weapon	Press Y to equip your weapon while on the passenger seat.
Circle/B (Hold)	Get off	Press B to exit vehicles.
L2/LT (Hold)	Reverse/Brake	Hold L2/LT when moving to break. Hold L2/LT when stationary to reverse.
