So it’s not just me… I’m running into this same issue. Worse, there seems to be no other method in Fortnite.digest.verse fort_character that could be the actual start sprinting event.

That’s just how this works. It has to do with sprinting being built into movement in legacy versions of the game. They didn’t add a key to specifically sprint with the whole energy system until later so it remains as an artifact of those times.

We should be asking for a new sprint event. It would be cool if we could subscribe to sprinted event (not running, but the one where the sprinting bar displays)

The old event will probably have to remain the same in case some maps are using it (og sprint)
