SprintingGive feedback
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:
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.

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
