To see the different 'Sprint' options, you need to press on the input prompt that is on the left side of your current key bind. By default, this should say 'Hold', so... press the hold button! Here you will be able to switch between all of the different 'Sprint' options in Helldivers 2:"

  • Tap: Triggers only when a button is pushed down and released quickly.
  • Double Tap: Triggers on the second press if you quickly push down the same button twice.
  • Press: Triggers as soon as the button is pushed down.
  • Long Press: Triggers after a button has been pushed down for a set amount of time.
  • Hold: Triggers continuously while a button is being pushed down.
  • Long Hold: After a button has been pushed down for a set amount of time, this starts triggering continuously.

If you want to be able to just press the button once instead of continuously holding it down, you should go with the 'Press' option. This will ensure that you will not have any issues with your hands during long gaming sessions.
