How do I raise weapons?

Raising weapons allows you to shoot at a higher level. Thanks to this, you can hit enemies e.g. standing on the stairs or hiding behind cover. All you have to do is turn on the raised weapon mode, and the red aiming laser will be higher. This will allow you to assess whether you can hit an opponent standing on the stairs or a low platform. Raising weapons is also a great way to get the enemies hiding behind shields. Without hovering, your missiles will hit the object behind which the enemy is standing, but you just need to raise your weapon to start hitting straight at the enemy.

You can also use your weapons to fight effectively from behind cover. All you have to do is hide behind an object and crouch down behind it. Now, instead of getting up, use weapon raising mode. Your character will only lift the weapon, remaining resistant to enemy fire.
