Default Sprint Controls
In 99 Nights in the Forest, sprinting is controlled by holding the Left Shift key on PC. Simply hold down Left Shift while moving with WASD keys to run faster than your normal walking speed. This works immediately without any setup required.
Auto-Sprint Feature
Many players prefer enabling auto-sprint to avoid constantly holding the shift key. To activate auto-sprint:
- Press Caps Lock to toggle auto-sprint on/off
- When enabled, your character will automatically sprint when moving
- Press Caps Lock again to return to normal walking speed
Mobile and Console Controls
On mobile devices, look for a sprint button icon on your screen – typically located near the movement controls. Tap and hold this button while moving to sprint. Console players should check their control settings, as sprint is usually mapped to a shoulder button or clicking the left analog stick.
Troubleshooting Sprint Issues
If sprinting isn’t working properly:
- Check if Caps Lock is stuck on – this can interfere with normal sprint controls
- Verify your keyboard’s Left Shift key is functioning correctly
- Try rebinding sprint controls in the game’s settings menu
- Restart the game if sprint controls become unresponsive
Remember that sprinting drains your stamina faster, so manage your energy wisely during those intense forest encounters. For the full 99 Nights in the Forest experience with all controls optimized, you can dive right into the action.
TL;DR
Hold Left Shift to sprint in 99 Nights in the Forest on PC, or press Caps Lock to toggle auto-sprint mode for hands-free running.
