Leaning mechanics of GR:Wildlands (Hints in the "Story of GRW video by Polygon) | Forums

well creating a first person shooter that is also a third person shooter is not easy task. a lot of resources needs to be put in there and a lot of new animations and mechanics tweaks.
and obviously there is no manual leaning, for reasons i already stated (too problematic with controllers and developing a PC only feature is a waste of money in the developers eyes).

In Fallout 4 there was a mod that allowed to lean from farther away from cover. i wish UBI's games were mod-able (FC3 and 4 were but there werent online coop) so maybe someone could increase the distance form which you are "considered in cover and can lean" becase it really does feel like you need to glue yourself to a wall pretty tight, which isnt necessary, gameplay wise.

Manually leaning is perfectly feasible for controllers. The fact is that they were simply not willing to make it an option.

agree, the RB-LB/R1-L1 buttons can be used for manual leaning to either sides after you ADS since if you ADS-ed, you can't throw a grenade anyway. to throw a grenade you must de-scope before throwing it away
