Trivia
- Sprint Burst can be 'saved' while a Survivor is Exhausted: as Exhaustion doesn't recover while running, a common tactic is to let Exhaustion recover to 99%, then run continuously. When the Survivor wants to trigger Sprint Burst, they can briefly stop running, recover the remaining 1% of their Exhaustion, then run again to trigger Sprint Burst.
- Sprint Burst can be inefficiently activated when attempting to quickly vault a Window
or Pallet 
, or exit a Locker , reducing the available speed boost duration. - Triggering Sprint Burst by tapping the run button, then walking, will produce a movement akin to a jog. While it's faster than walking and produces no Scratch Marks, it makes as much audible noise as running.
- Likewise, activating Sprint Burst while standing, then proceeding to crouch-walk, will provide a brief window of fast moving crouched speed (similar to the effect of Urban Evasion ).
