Grand Theft Auto IV dramatically expanded this idea into a system with a simple press of a button. The cover button can let the player automatically find a nearby object to hide behind. The character great number of animations are available just to approach the cover, including running into cover, rolling into cover, sliding into cover, diving into cover and going from cover to cover. | Grand Theft Auto IV and its respective episodes dramatically expanded this idea into a system with a simple press of a button.

Once behind cover, the player can strafe left or right if there is room, hugging close to the cover. At the edge of a cover, the player can blind fire without exposing the major parts of the body to receive minimal damage. A major disadvantage to this is that accuracy is dramatically reduced. The new system allows the player to throw projectiles and explosives without damaging oneself in the process. The player can shoot out of cover instead and after the player stops shooting, the character will automatically hide behind cover. | Once behind cover, the player can strafe left or right if there is room, hugging close to the cover.
