Notes:
* Usually includes prompts for how to accomplish the cover swap and where it is possible.
* Often accomplished via holding down the cover button as usual as well as movement direction and tapping jump/dodge key.
* Vaulting is often integrated as part of this behaviour.
* In some instances this may be completely unnoticeable to NPCs for some obscure reason. Maintaining stealth despite the player character appearing in plain sight while moving between cover.
