📋 About This Mod

Adds some sprinting focused perks to an empty slot in the Body perk tree:

  • []Running Man - Level 1: Allows you to sprint in any direction.[/]

    []Running Man - Level 2: Unlocks Double Sprint - the ability to sprint faster by pressing LShift/L3 while already sprinting. Drains stamina. Hold to sprint users can double tap the hold-sprint button to start double sprinting. The perk description does not reflect this because it will not display correctly for controller users.[/]

    []Hit and Run: Allows you to make melee Fast Attacks while sprinting.[/]

    []Second Wind: Double Sprint drains 50% less stamina.[/]

    Double sprinting was already mostly implemented by CDPR but not used in the game.

    Notes:

    • []If playing with a controller I recommend using Easier Controller Sprint which removes cases where you press the sprint button and then you don't sprint.[/]

      []Crouch-sprinting already allows moving in any direction in the base game. I think that's just an oversight by the devs since crouch-sprinting was added to the game later, but I left it as is instead of removing the ability and then re-enabling it when the perk is active. Similarly, Double Sprint doesn't apply to crouch-sprinting. It's already at ridiculous speed and drains stamina :D[/]

      Translations: All perk texts are AI translated for all languages. If there are any mistakes please send me corrected text and I'll update it.

      Uninstallation note: Be sure to refund the perks before removing the mod (or playing without the mod after a patch).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Running Man adds 3 new sprinting perks to the Body tree, enabling double sprint, omnidirectional running, and melee attacks while sprinting. A focused gameplay enhancement for players who want more mobility options in combat and exploration.

✨ Key Features

Adds 3 new sprinting-focused perks to the Body perk tree.
Allows double sprint for extended burst movement.
Enables running in any direction, including backward and strafing.
Permits melee attacks while sprinting for aggressive playstyles.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement count (345) shows the community digs it.
  • Adds real mobility options that change how you approach fights.
  • Tight scope—just perks, no bloat, easy to understand.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 3 perks—might feel thin if you want a full overhaul.
  • Last updated July 2026—could be outdated if the game patches soon.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who love aggressive, hit-and-run tactics and want more control in combat. If you're a melee build that hates being rooted in place, this is for you. Skip if you prefer ranged or magic playstyles—this won't change your game much.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check your game version against the mod's last update date to avoid compatibility issues.
