Palworld: How to crouch on PC

Crouching is something I didn’t know I could do. I learned crouching was a movement around the tenth hour of playtime. To crouch, simply hit the C key while not moving. If you move, you’ll slide. I know, this would have saved you tons of time in combat because you would be harder to hit. 

You can play Palworld on PC with a controller as well. Crouching with a controller can be done by pressing the B button. As with the mouse and keyboard, make sure you’re not moving.
