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.  

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 damaged by an enemy hero or 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>

You cannot sprint while firing or zooming with alt-fire. Upon firing, the character will slow to 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|Kudzu Connection}}, provides Fleetfoot's passive to both her and the tethered teammate.
<!-- is this really relevant to sprinting as a mechanic if you just move at base speed? -->


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

{{Main|Runes}}  

Sprint speed can be obtained by picking up the Movement Rune above the bridges between the inner and outer lanes. The 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>

===== Items that increase Sprint Speed =====

Certain items that have the ''+Sprint Speed'' stat increase sprint speed:

===== Base Walk and Sprint Speed per Character =====
Total Sprint Speed is the sum of Move Speed and Sprint Speed.{{#invoke:HeroDataArrays|heroMoveSpeedTable}}
