Using the tactical sprint is extremely easy and simple. All you have to do is press the sprint button and a bar will appear on top of your health bar. Once that runs out, you will have to wait until it fills up again. Tactical sprinting is a lot faster than regulating running. If you want to know exactly how far you can get using this, we tested it out for you.

After doing multiple tactical sprints, we can conclude that you can run for about 7 and a half tiles or 37.5 meters. However, running fast isn’t the only thing that you can do with this new mechanic.

Players can run through doors by using the tactical sprint. When you are doing it, your character will kick open the door without having to manually open it using the interact button. This helps you to keep running without losing your momentum. However, to balance it out, you can only run through one door.

Now that you are familiar with tactical sprint, let’s take a look at how you can parkour. To do so, you must be in a tactical sprinting state and press and hold the jump button. This will allow you to climb and vault and surface that you come in contact with. If you are curious about how high you can climb, worry not because we’ve got you covered.

After multiple attempts, we concluded that you can climb up to 1 and a half walls. Whether that’s wood, metal, or brick. Plus, you can jump about 7.5 meters forward so using this jump at the end of your sprint will give you the maximum distance.
