* '''Less Visible''': Crouching gives you a smaller profile and potentially drops you down below where most enemies will be aiming. In multiplayer games that use [[Boom Headshot|headshots]] the drop-shot (suddenly crouching on when fired upon) can result in the shots going over your head, at the risk of turning shots aimed at the torso into headshots. Prone makes your front profile as small as possible at the cost of most of that profile [[Boom Headshot|being your head]]. |

* '''Better Accuracy''': Being able to brace yourself means that you will have better control of recoil and able to shoot more accurately. [[Sniper Rifle|Sniping]] especially will be more accurate when prone, and often [[Sniper Scope Sway]] will be reduced. |
