Mechanic Overview
What is Wide Peeking?
Wide peeking is an aggressive peeking technique where you swing out far from cover to clear multiple angles quickly and catch enemies off-guard with unexpected positioning.
Why It's Important
Wide peeking allows you to clear multiple common angles simultaneously, catch enemies repositioning, and take advantage of wide peek advantage (you see enemies before they see you due to network lag).
When to Use
Use when you have information about enemy positions, during site executes, when clearing multiple angles, or when you want to catch enemies off-guard with aggressive timing.
