Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s omnimovement feature introduces a new sprinting mode: Tac Sprint Assist. This mechanic allows you to replace movement in any direction with sprinting, enabling an extra-fast operator in multiplayer matches.
However, the addition of Tac Sprint settings can create some confusion for players accustomed to the regular auto sprint settings inrecentModern Warfaregames. To clarify these changes, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide explaininghow to enable Tac Sprint, how to use it, and how to maximize its effectiveness in your gameplay.
The New Auto Tactical Sprint Feature Explained
Tac Sprint is a new movement feature inBlack Ops 6that enables you to sprint forward, backward, and sideways with a quick input. This ability is part ofBO6’s omnimovement system, which allows players to sprint, slide, and dive in all directions.
The main difference between Tac Sprint and the regular auto sprint frompreviousCoDgamesis that Tac Sprint extends the sprinting functionality to all movement inputs, allowing for sprinting in any direction. In earlier games, enabling auto-sprint removed the need to press and hold the sprint button, but it only applied to forward movement.
How to Enable Auto Sprint in Black Ops 6
Open Settings by pressing the Start or Menu button and selecting the cog icon.
Go to the Controller settings (or Keyboard & Mouse if youplayBO6on a PC).
3. Select the Movement tab.
4. Scroll down to theIntelligent Movementsection.
- Toggle Sprint Assistant on or set it to “Tactical Sprint Assist.”
When Sprint Assist is off, you must activate sprinting by pressing a button (RS or R3 on Xbox and PlayStation, Shift on PC). When it’s on, max movement inputs will result in sprinting. Setting it to Tac Sprint replaces basic movement with sprinting in all directions.
Tips for Adjusting Auto Tac Sprint for Combat
The new Tac Sprint settings take some time to get used to. However, you can enhance your gameplay by adjusting these settings.
Turn Off Sideways Tac Sprint for Strafing
If you’re accustomed toMW3’s strafing strategies, you should turn off sideways Tac Stance. Fortunately, the game allows you to customize this movement, giving you the option to disable left, right, and backward tactical sprinting.
Reduce Your Left Stick’s Max Input Deadzone
If tactical sprinting is triggered with a delay, reduce your controller’s max input deadzone. This adjustment will activate Tac Sprint more quickly, allowing you to sprint without having to push the stick fully in one direction.
Keep the Sprint Assist Delay at Zero
You can set a maximum delay of one second (1,000 milliseconds) for the Tac Sprint feature, which activates the sprint only after holding the movement stick briefly. However, it’s better to avoid this delay, as the fast-paced multiplayer games inCoD: Black Ops 6require every slight movement advantage.
How to Optimize Advanced Sprint Settings
In the Movement Advanced Settings, you can further adjust Tac Sprint’s behavior. Here’s how to optimize these options:
