CoD Vanguard is on the verge of release and players are already excited about the game.

While Vanguard launches on the 5th, season 1 for both Vanguard and Warzone come out on the 2nd Dec.

How to Slide Cancelling Works in CoD Vanguard
The controls for slide cancel vary for different devices. But, before we get to it, one of the first things you should do to promote speed and mobility is to go to Settings of the game and activate Automatic Sprint. Once you activate the settings, you will sprint every time you press the forward key. Here are the steps you can follow to slide cancel.

- Now, double-tap the Left Shift to start the Tactical Sprint.
- Press the Left Ctrl to Slide and hit the Left Ctrl again to Crouch
- Repeat the above process in a loop to perform slide cancel in PC.
When you press the Left Ctrl the second time in the above process, you will automatically come up on a standing position. You need to immediately double-tab Left Shift to continue the Tactical Sprint.
