What’s your setting? Slide only, or tap to slide+hold to dive?

Looks like your tac sprint wasn’t activated yet. Is auto tac sprint on?

You didn’t sprint long enough, your gun has to be fully up before you can slide,
Test it out in the firing range if you sprint a tiny bit and your gun does not raise up you will crouch everytime,
keep practising and you will get the timing right so you stop getting dead slides.

Mnk? You can’t

You definitely didn’t move far enough to activate the slide

Ignoring all the “skill issue” comments, I think they changed something. I have had the same settings and played the same way since day 1 and these “dead slides” just started happening to me when season 4 started. Similar to how the broke (and still haven’t fully fixed) the tap to interact/prioritize interact features. They are constantly tweaking things that have more effect on the gameplay than they realize.

Can you slide upwards? Looks like you start the slide standing in the stairs.

Drop to the floor completely

When you switch directions that fast your slide will not register and it will crouch.

I don’t think it’s *just* that you didn’t move far enough, I think because you activated it so soon it was prob while you were still on the stairs too
Don’t slide on slopes

You have to make sure you’re in a full tac sprint. Doing it to quickly will result in a dead slide.

Despite some of the comments, I’ve been having less dead slides than I used to. It’s most likely a server issue. That said, I’ve noticed that if I make SURE I’m in a sprint before sliding, it’s way better. The dead slides seem to happen more when I try rushing the slide, probably because the server is getting mixed with the order of inputs

Your operator has bad knees.

Eli5 dead slides?

There’s a delay before it registers a slide, cuz it has to check if ur holding for a dolphin dive. There is a setting to make it tap to slide only which helps but not 100%. Ultimately I think u needed to back up more, u didn’t have enough running space for the slide to register
Advanced_Horror2292
Yeah what you need to do is back up first so you get a good running start before sliding.
