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^[1]), then gain 0.6 m/s every second^[2]) 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:

Bebop – 4 m/s
Kelvin – 1.1 m/s
Lady Geist – 2.4 m/s
Lash – 2.1 m/s
Paige – 3.5 m/s
Victor – 1.1 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).^[3]
If they are firing, they will move significantly slower (around ~70% of their base walk speed) until the character stops firing.
- With the Weapon Item Fleetfoot, they will move at their base walk speed if they are firing.
- Ivy’s Kudzu Connection, provides Fleetfoot Fleetfoot's passive to both her and the tethered teammate.

Gaining Sprint Speed from Runes

Main article: 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 x. The equation for sprint speed scaling with Spirit Power is $FinalSprintSpeed = BaseSprintSpeed + (Spirit Power \times Coefficient)$

Character	Base Sprint Speed (m/s)	Scaling Coefficient
Wraith	1.6	x0.05
