=== Stance ===
[[File:Stance.jpg|frameless|right|400px]]
The position your character is currently in is referred to as their stance. The three main positions are ''standing'' ({{Key|C}}), ''crouched'' ({{Key|X}}), and ''prone'' ({{Key|Z}}). They can be switched between by using the previously mentioned corresponding keys. In addition to these three stances, Survivors are also able to ''lean'' their character left or right using the {{Key|Q}} and {{Key|E}} keys.

It is important to use stance to your advantage in combat for a number of reasons. The position you are in can greatly affect your weapon sway and, in turn, how accurate you are -- standing, crouched, and prone are worst to best in that order. Leaning is particularly useful for exposing only a minimal amount of your body in order to see around cover and fire your weapon, but crouching and prone are helpful in minimizing your profile as well.
