Understanding Auto Lean and Hip Lean in Rainbow Six Siege
Leaning is an important movement mechanic in Rainbow Six Siege. It allows players to change their position while checking angles, aiming or moving around cover.
Some Rainbow Six Siege Cronus Zen scripts include additional leaning features such as Auto Lean, Auto Hip Lean and Lean Spam.
Although these settings sound similar, they perform different functions and may use different activation conditions.
This guide explains what each feature does, how the settings differ and what to check when configuring your script.
1. What Is Auto Lean?
Auto Lean is a scripted controller feature that automates predefined leaning inputs when its activation conditions are met.
Depending on the script, the feature may respond to aiming, firing or another configured controller input.
The exact activation method depends on the GPC script being used.
Auto Lean is not the same as manually selecting Lean Left or Lean Right. Instead, it performs a programmed controller action according to the script's settings.
2. What Is Auto Hip Lean?
Hip Lean generally refers to leaning while not aiming down sights (ADS), where supported by the game's current controller configuration.
Auto Hip Lean is a script feature designed around this non-ADS leaning state.
This distinction matters because ADS and hip-fire controls may use different input conditions.
A script that supports Auto Lean does not necessarily include a separate Auto Hip Lean feature.
Check the individual product's feature list and instructions before assuming both options are available.
3. Auto Lean vs Auto Hip Lean: Key Differences
| Feature | Auto Lean | Auto Hip Lean |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Automates predefined lean inputs | Provides automated leaning associated with the non-ADS state |
| Activation | Depends on the script's programmed conditions | Depends on the script's hip-lean logic |
| ADS relationship | May be associated with aiming inputs | Designed around hip-lean behaviour |
| Availability | Varies by script | Requires dedicated script support |
The exact behaviour of these features is determined by the script rather than their names alone.
4. What Is Lean Spam?
Lean Spam is another feature found in some Rainbow Six Siege Cronus Zen scripts.
Unlike a basic lean input, it performs a programmed sequence of repeated leaning actions.
It should be treated as a separate movement feature rather than another name for Auto Lean or Auto Hip Lean.
Running several automated leaning functions simultaneously may produce conflicting controller inputs.
5. Rainbow Reaper V4 Lean Settings Explained
Rainbow Reaper V4 includes three distinct lean-related options:
- Auto Hip Lean
- Auto Lean
- Lean Spam
These options appear within the script's configuration system alongside weapon-based recoil controls and other controller settings.
The published recommended starting configuration lists all three leaning options as OFF.
This provides a baseline for understanding the individual settings before introducing additional controller automation.
6. How to Access Rainbow Reaper V4 Settings
Rainbow Reaper V4 includes a built-in OLED menu with separate Mods, Anti-Recoil and Configuration sections.
Its documented menu controls are:
- Hold L2/LT and press Options/Menu to open the OLED menu.
- Use D-pad Up and Down to navigate through menu items.
- Use D-pad Left and Right to change highlighted settings.
- Press Cross/A to select an item or enter a submenu.
- Press Circle/B to return to the previous menu.
- Press Circle/B from the top-level menu to save and exit.
Locate the relevant lean option within the Mods settings and review its current state.
Different Rainbow Six Siege scripts may use different menu controls, so always follow the documentation for your specific product.
7. Why ADS and Button Mapping Matter
Rainbow Six Siege controller layouts can assign different actions depending on whether the player is aiming down sights.
This makes ADS state particularly important when reviewing lean-related script settings.
Potential configuration problems include:
- Incorrect Lean Left or Lean Right mapping.
- ADS and leaning inputs sharing controller buttons.
- Custom button layouts that differ from the script configuration.
- Multiple lean features using overlapping inputs.
- Manual leaning and automated leaning activating together.
If a lean input activates an unexpected action, check the controller configuration before changing unrelated settings.
Read our Rainbow Six Siege Lean Controls and ADS Conflicts Guide for additional troubleshooting information.
8. Common Lean Configuration Problems
If your lean controls are behaving unexpectedly, identify which part of the configuration is affected.
Common symptoms include:
- Leaning works while ADS but not outside ADS.
- A lean input activates another controller action.
- The selected lean direction does not match the expected input.
- Automated lean behaviour overlaps with manual inputs.
- Lean Spam activates when another leaning feature is intended.
These symptoms can help distinguish a controller mapping problem from a script configuration issue.
For wider setup problems, see our Rainbow Six Siege Cronus Zen Setup Guide.
9. Do All Rainbow Six Siege Scripts Include the Same Lean Features?
No. Different scripts provide different movement options.
Rainbow Reaper V4 includes Auto Hip Lean, Auto Lean and Lean Spam.
GhostKill includes Auto Lean alongside additional lean-related movement features, including Lean Aim and Lean Shot.
These are separate script implementations and should not be assumed to use identical settings or activation methods.

Final Thoughts
Auto Lean, Auto Hip Lean and Lean Spam are separate controller automation features.
Auto Lean performs predefined leaning actions, Auto Hip Lean is associated with the non-ADS leaning state, and Lean Spam involves repeated leaning inputs.
Understanding these differences makes it easier to interpret a script's configuration menu and identify controller input conflicts.
