Set Sprint Toggle

Set Toggle Sprint to ON by opening the Settings menu and going into the Controls section. Doing this will allow you to toggle between running and walking by simply pressing the Sprint button.

Having Toggle Sprint on will make it easier to maneuver through enemies and obstacles since you no longer need to hold another button down while moving.

Press the Sprint Button

Press the Sprint button to enable running while James moves around. You can tap the button again to walk.

By default, the Sprint Button is mapped to L1 on a PS5 controller and LSHIFT on a keyboard if you're playing on PC.

Use the Dodge Feature

The Dodge feature has James take a few steps back, duck forward, or duck to either side. You can perform this move while running to avoid enemy attacks.

Dodge is mapped to Circle on the PS5 and the space bar on PC by default.
