-:[[Inherent Powers#Sprint|Sprint]] is an inherent power possessed by all. When engaged, it significantly increases running speed, although it does drain [[Endurance|endurance]]—bear this in mind when in the midst of combat, as it could adversely affect your endurance pool during a critical battle. Sprint speed is sufficient to outdistance most enemies, although they might get a successful shot off in passing. Make sure you have enough [[Hit Points|hit points]] left to absorb any parting shots before trying to sprint out of combat.

 Should you decide that you would like to forego travel powers until later in your career (or even go without them entirely), you may want to consider picking up the temporary powers offered by [[Safeguard Missions|safeguard]] or [[Mayhem Missions|mayhem missions]] at early levels to help you navigate through rough terrain.
-Completing the Atlas Park mission (available at levels 5-10) will grant you the [[Raptor Pack (Mayhem)|Raptor Pack]] temporary power, giving you the ability to fly.

 You can remap the movement keys using the [[The Players' Guide to the Cities/User Interface/Options Window#Movement|Options Window]] or the {{slashcommand|bind}} command.  For example, you might bind {{slashcommand|up|prefix=++}} to the '''J''' key to create an "auto-jump" key.

-This toggle allows you to run long distances without having to hold down the "forward" key. When auto-run is engaged, you begin to run forward in the direction you are facing and continue until you use auto-run again or until you use forward ro backward.  (If you run into an obstacle during auto-run, you just run in place.) During auto-run, you can adjust your direction of travel with the left and right turning keys. You may use auto-run in conjunction with [[Inherent Powers#Sprint|Sprint]], [[Flight#Fly|Fly]], [[Speed#Super Speed|Super Speed]], or [[Leaping#Super Jump|Super Jump]]. Overall, this makes long-distance travel much easier. Auto-run also activates auto-swim when you are in water.
