All characters have the ability to Sprint. Sprinting in '''[[Deadlock]]''' is a passive action — no further action is required to sprint. When sprinting, you instantly accelerate up to +2.5 m/s of your base sprint speed<ref>[[Yoshi]] on [https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/12-16-2025-update.93983/#post-177936 Deadlock forum] - Sprint now starts accelerating for sprint speeds over +2.5 rather than only after +3</ref>), then gain 0.6 m/s every second<ref>[[Yoshi]] on [https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/12-16-2025-update.93983/#post-177936 Deadlock forum] - Sprint ramp rate reduced from 0.75/sec to 0.6/sec</ref>) 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). 

Every character has a base sprint speed of 1.6 m/s except:

* {{HeroIcon|Bebop}} – {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Bebop|SprintSpeed}} m/s
* {{HeroIcon|Kelvin}} – {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Kelvin|SprintSpeed}} m/s
* {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} – {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Lady Geist|SprintSpeed}} m/s
* {{HeroIcon|Lash}} – {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Lash|SprintSpeed}} m/s  
* {{HeroIcon|Paige}} – {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Paige|SprintSpeed}} m/s  
* {{HeroIcon|Victor}} – {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Victor|SprintSpeed}} m/s  

When characters are sprinting:
*If they have been damaged by an enemy hero, sprint will be disabled for 3 seconds, which can be significantly slower.
*If they have been damaged by a non-hero, sprint will be disabled for 3 seconds).<ref>[[Yoshi]] on [https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/12-16-2025-update.93983/#post-177936 Deadlock forum] - Time delay before sprint starts working after hero/neutral interaction reduced from 4s to 3s</ref>
*If they are firing, they will move significantly slower (around ~70% of their base walk speed) until the character stops firing.
**With the {{ItemType|Weapon}} {{AbilityIcon|Fleetfoot}}, they will move at their base walk speed if they are firing.
**{{HeroIcon|Ivy}}’s {{AbilityIcon|Watcher's Covenant}}, provides Fleetfoot Fleetfoot's passive to both her and the tethered teammate.


==== Gaining Sprint Speed from Runes ====

{{Main|Runes}}  

Sprint speed can be obtained by picking up the Movement Rune Movement Rune above the bridges between the inner and outer lanes. The Movement Rune Movement rune grants a temporary base +3 m/s sprint speed buff for 160 seconds, that scales with time. 

===== Characters with Sprint Scaling from Spirit Power =====
Certain characters have their sprint speed scale with [[Spirit Power]]; this is indicated with the symbol {{ss}}. The equation for sprint speed scaling with Spirit Power is <math>\text{FinalSprintSpeed} = \text{BaseSprintSpeed} + (\text{Spirit Power} \times \text{Coefficient}) </math>
