1: Go to C:/users/[username]/Saved Games/Enshrouded

2: Open enshrouded_user.json

3: CTRL+F "sprint"

4: Change the part below it where it says "toggle:" from false to true

5: Save the file and sprint without pinky pain

Step 1: Go to (or search for) C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\Enshrouded

Step 2: Open enshrouded_user.json in a text editor, i.e. Notepad++

You'll see a bunch of code nonsense. These arcane runes are not for you.

Search/CTRL+F "sprint" and you'll skip a couple thousand lines down.


A little bit farther down, you'll see a line that says "toggle": false


Note: I've seen some comments about this line being missing. If you don't have it, try swapping the control scheme in the game's menu to keyboard & mouse, then close and reopen the game.


Change the word "false" to "true" and then save the file.

The in-game control binding should now specify that it's a toggle.
