Aim high
Holding the aim-high control lets shots pass over small enemies and obstacles. Aiming high also inflicts more stagger, giving this firing mode a crowd-control benefit as well as a line-of-fire use.
How it works
The combat guide describes aim high as a way to shoot over small enemies and obstacles. It does not state a weapon restriction or numerical stagger increase, so the supported benefit is qualitative.
When it helps
Use aim high when small enemies or obstacles obstruct your shots, or when extra stagger is useful.
