📋 About This Mod
This is a mod to improve the Storm/Sprint mechanic in LE2. In the unmodified, you need to hold a button to sprint. Worse, in the default controller layout, both sticks do the same thing. I have created mods that map Left Stick Click (AKA L3) to start sprinting, and made it so that most actions like aiming, firing, or using a power will cause you to stop sprinting almost immediately and do the intended action. It will also automatically stop when you stop moving forward. The keyboard mapping for this is Left Alt.
Installation:
You must install it using ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Just drag the archive onto it and apply it. You can disable/remove it
there as well. To fully uninstall it, you must restore SFXGame.pcc from backup as well as removing the DLC mod, but just removing the mod is sufficient to return it to vanilla behavior.
compatibility:
This mod is natively compatible with Melee Remade
It should not conflict with any other mods unless they mess with the same control mappings.
works with any increased/infinite sprint mod.
works ok with crouch mods.
A gameplay tweak for LE2 that changes sprinting to a tap-to-toggle input, reduces the recovery delay after sprinting, allows sprinting in any direction independent of the camera, and improves turning. With 354 endorsements and recent updates, it's a quality-of-life improvement for players who find the default sprinting clunky.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tap-to-sprint is a game-changer for thumb fatigue—no more holding the button down.
- Reduced post-sprint delay means you can react faster in combat or exploration.
- Direction-independent sprinting gives you more control, especially in tight spots.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects sprinting—if you were hoping for broader movement overhauls, this is narrow.
- No mention of whether it works with other gameplay mods, so test before stacking.
For LE2 players who find the default sprinting awkward and want a more responsive, fluid movement feel. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes—this is a focused QoL tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, drop the file into the mods folder and enable it—no extra steps needed.
- Test the new sprint in a safe area first to get used to the tap-to-toggle, especially if you're used to holding.
- Since it changes input behavior, check your keybindings to ensure the tap action doesn't conflict with other commands.
