Sprinting
Tech Type Universal
Difficulty Basic Mechanics
Character Dependent No
Inputs Move (WASD)

All characters have the ability to Sprint. Sprinting in Deadlock is a passive action — no further action is required to sprint. When sprinting, you near instantly accelerate up to 10 m/s, then gain approximately 1 m/s every second above that threshold. Sprinting characters can be identified by the grey speed lines coming off them. You cannot sprint while zooming in using alt-fire 25).

Every character has a base of 2 m/s sprint speed except for the following characters:

When characters are sprinting:
