Taking cover in GTA 5 is a vital survival skill that allows players to protect themselves from enemy attacks. It involves finding a physical barrier, such as a wall, tree, or vehicle, and positioning the character behind it to minimize exposure to gunfire.
Cover provides several important benefits in combat. Firstly, it reduces the chance of the player character being hit by incoming fire. Secondly, it allows players to peek around the cover to assess the situation and return fire without fully exposing themselves. Thirdly, cover can provide concealment, making it harder for enemies to spot the player character.
