How to Run in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Running in Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater is the fastest way to move across the map. It is louder than walking or stalking, so you need to use it carefully to avoid alerting guards.

Let go of Shift to return to walking speed

Dodging boss attacks or repositioning quickly
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
Final Blurb
To run in Metal Gear Solid Delta, push the left stick fully forward on controller or hold Shift while moving on keyboard. Running gives you speed but creates noise, so balance it with walking, stalking, and crawling to stay undetected.
