Kneeling Posture
Overview
Kneeling posture is a stable, low profile shooting stance used to tighten body exposure, control bunker edges, and maintain accuracy from low or mid height cover.
Key Points
- Low profile stance used behind mid height or small bunkers.
- Provides strong stability for snapshots and lane holding.
- Reduces visible silhouette against opponents.
- Allows rapid transitions into standing or crouched shooting.
- Frequently used in snake insertions, W bunkers, and tight angles.
Details
Kneeling posture is a foundational stance for playing small or mid sized bunkers. By dropping onto one or both knees, players reduce their vertical silhouette while maintaining shooting stability. The position also improves edge tightness, enabling players to engage in precise gunfights with minimal exposure.
Two major forms exist: Single knee posture balancing mobility and tightness Double knee posture maximum stability and lowest profile
A proper kneeling posture keeps the core upright, the marker tight to the mask, and the off elbow controlled. Players can switch hands smoothly, adjusting angles without rising too high.
The stance is crucial in: Snake insertions Dorito corners Tight mid grid wedges Bunkers with limited height or shallow depth
Players must be careful not to anchor themselves too deeply; overly static kneeling can reduce mobility if opponents shift angles.
