Atomic Heart doesn't feature a traditional sprint function. So, you'll have to walk at the protagonist's default pace. You can, however, opt for an upgrade within the game called Morning Exercise, which slightly increases your walking speed. The absence of a sprint function is quite rare in games, especially the ones focused on combat.

You can acquire the Morning Exercise upgrade in Atomic Hearts for 80 Neuropolymer. The absence of a dedicated sprint mechanic makes this upgrade a must-have in your arsenal. Moreover, you can select the Character section of the NORA upgrade station and buy this skill to walk faster.

Acquiring upgrades requires spending Neuropolymer, the in-game currency. You can interact with NORA stations that resemble a vending machine and upgrade P-3's abilities.

To overcome the lack of a sprint function, you can use the dodge button to add speed to P-3's maneuverability. It is extremely useful to evade robot attacks and temporarily boost your walking speed.
