There should be an update to make the game have a battle stance. Having your weapon holstered by default until you fire gets annoying sometimes, especially when you're holstered and the barrel is near the gun. Doesn't affect assault rifles much, but shotgun users should know the pain.

Similar to arma 3, battle stance will make it so that when you press a button (maybe CTRL?), you go into a stance where you're pointing your gun forward. In arma 3, this stance would ''lower your speed by a bit and is automatically toggled off when sprinting. ''

Using the "peeking with the barrel" or "behind-the-wall" trick where only your gun is exposed won't work either, because of the way R2D:A's game mechanics are (if you try to perform this in R2D:A, you will end up shooting at the wall you're taking cover behind, since in R2D:A your entire body follows your camera+mouse movements.)

tl;dr

This battle stance may slow your walk speed, but it will allow for your character to point his or her gun forward, allowing you to shoot straight, and not the hill/wall beside you. Should be toggled with a key, CTRL would be ideal.
