Running Compared to Other Movement
Running is fastest but also loudest
Walking is slower and quieter, better for sneaking near patrols
Stalking makes footsteps completely silent, useful for close approaches
Crawling keeps Snake hidden in grass but is the slowest way to move
Tips for Running Safely
Sprint when no enemies are close enough to hear you
Switch between running and crouching to stay unpredictable
Manage stamina carefully, since sprinting drains it faster and slows health regeneration
