The process to do so is simple and straightforward. The default keybind for this action should be the ‘I’ key on your keyboard. For controller players, the control should be linked to Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation. Holding down these buttons should initiate weapon inspect.
However, if this does not work for you, you can still find the required controls.
Open the menu, and head into the Options category. While in this section, you can proceed to the Customize Controls tab, and check or set a new keybind for inspecting your weapon.

This mechanic doesn’t give you any advantage in battle. Instead, it’s merely an aesthetic mechanic. This feature not only lets you check your hard-earned weapon skins, but also lets you flex a bit.
There are often moments when you are waiting for the battle to start, and doing nothing. This weapon inspect will let you pass a few seconds, while admiring your hard work. Although you should be careful not to lose track of the game while you’re busy inspecting the weapon.
In the end, who would pass up the opportunity to inspect their weapon right before getting a kill? That was everything you needed to know so you can start inspecting your weapon in Rainbow Six Siege X.
