| Sprinting throughout an [[:agent]]'s entire turn is dangerous if there are human [[:guards]] around, as they will come to [[:guard_behaviour#investigate]] the location of the sound, which often results in them finding your [[:agent]]. Given that danger, the most apparent use of sprinting is to move [[:agents]] faster through areas of the [[:facility]] that do not have any guards within earshot, and this is certainly a good use of sprinting. | Sprinting throughout an [[:agent]]'s entire turn is dangerous if there are human [[:guards]] around, as they will come to [[:guard_behaviour#investigate]] the location of the sound, which often results in them finding your [[:agent]].

| However, the most powerful use of sprinting is to enable sprinting, move up to 3(or 4) AP to create a [[:noise|sound]] distraction for human [[:guards]], and then disable sprinting for the rest of the turn and sneak to safety. This doesn't give the agent any net AP for the turn, but allows the player to manipulate [[:guards]] to [[:guard_behaviour#investigate]] the location where the agent initially sprinted, potentially distracting them from watching a more important location. This technique is known as **[[:strategy:sprint toggling]]**. | However, the most powerful use of sprinting is to enable sprinting, move up to 3 (or 4) AP to create a [[:noise|sound]] distraction for human [[:guards]], and then disable sprinting for the rest of the turn and sneak to safety.
