Why Does Crouch Running Use Less Energy?

[scaramoosh 162]

Has any one actually tried to do this? It is harder than running upright, which is what we evolved to do. I just think it is a dumb mechanic to have it actually use less energy than standard running, it should be the other way round tbh, just like how crawling prone should use far more energy!

Haven't noticed?

Good idea.

Haven't you noticed that when crouch running you move at maybe a little faster than walking pace? If you're physically unfit, maybe this might be a problem...

Why not actually try it for a bit, and stay crouched when you stop too.

I can do it better than the ingame characters, it's the straight sprint from Kamy to Elektro that puzzles me.

All movement uses the same amount of energy at present.

That video makes no sense. Walking/Jogging/Running/Sprinting? Ummm there are not 4 movement speeds. You can walk, run or sprint....Also I see no way of actually measuring this mechanic like is shown in the video...sounds like a lot of speculation and guessing to me

Sprinting is when you run with your fists out.

 

The video is not mine, credit belongs to a guy called Merino. If you actually watch his video(s) you'll find he does a lot of extensive, scientific testing and compares it with data in the game files to draw his conclusions, and he always emphasises that they are only his theories and subject to change. Nobody has done investigations anywhere near as in-depth as he has and his findings seem right on the money.
