Walk In, Sprint, Running in Valorant

Walk In or Walking

Walking or Walk In means silent shift-walk in Valorant. This movement mode is silent so nearby enemies can’t hear you.

To do this you need to press your ” ‘W’, ‘A’, ‘S’, ‘D’ “ movement keys and the Left Shift key together.

Your movement mode is by default set to run when you press your movement keys. Walking allows you to silently push toward enemies for a surprise peek. When you unhold your Left Shift key you will be switched to run mode again.

Sprint

Sprint means running a short distance as fast as you can. In Valorant, you can run between two bomb sites or go for helping teammates quickly by sprinting.

When you’re sprinting in Valorant, you need to have the knife out in your hands to move as fast as possible.

Running

Running is moving as fast as possible with the gun out in the hands for sudden combats. Your speed will be slightly slower than Sprinting.

Many players get confused about the difference between Sprinting and Running words.

Let me clear the doubt.

Sprinting: Moving with the knife out as fast as possible.
Running: Moving but gun in hands for combat situations. It’s generally slower than sprinting as you need to keep your weapon out in your hands.
