</>What does Roadrunner do?
The island is huge, and hoofing it from your base to that far-off cave eats up real time. Roadrunner fixes that. Flip on Super Sprint and pick how much faster you want to move, from a gentle jog-up to a full-on blur. Your running, walking, and swimming all get the same boost, so whether you're sprinting across open ground or paddling to an offshore point of interest, you get there fast. Use the slider to find your sweet spot — a little extra pace for comfortable exploring, or maximum speed when you just want to cover ground. Turn it off and your normal pace comes right back. Great for exploring the whole map, backtracking for supplies, escaping a bad fight, or just cutting down the boring walk between objectives. Works best in solo or offline play; in co-op, outcomes are decided by the host.

</>Common questions about Roadrunner
What does Roadrunner do in Sons of the Forest?
Roadrunner dials up how fast you run, walk, and swim in Sons of the Forest, so crossing the island takes seconds instead of minutes. The map is huge, and hoofing it from your base to a far-off cave normally eats real time. Roadrunner fixes that: flip on Super Sprint and pick how much faster you want to move, from a gentle jog-up to a full-on blur. Your running, walking, and swimming all get the same boost, so whether you're sprinting across open ground or paddling to an offshore point of interest, you get there fast. Turn it off and your normal pace comes right back.
How does the Super Sprint option in Roadrunner work?
Super Sprint is the main switch in Roadrunner for Sons of the Forest — turning it on activates the speed boost and lets you set how strong it is. You use a slider to find your sweet spot: a little extra pace for comfortable exploring, or maximum speed when you just want to cover ground in a hurry. The setting applies to all your movement at once rather than to sprinting alone, so it changes your baseline pace across the board. Because it's adjustable, you're not locked into one extreme — you can tune it right down for careful cave navigation, then crank it up for a long cross-map trek.
Can I adjust how fast Roadrunner makes me, or is it a fixed speed?
Roadrunner is fully adjustable in Sons of the Forest — it's not a single fixed speed. Once Super Sprint is on, a slider lets you set your pace anywhere from a gentle jog-up to a full-on blur. That range matters because different situations call for different speeds: a small boost keeps exploring comfortable and controllable, while the top end is best for open ground where you just want to blitz across the peninsula. Finding your own sweet spot is part of the appeal. If the speed ever feels like too much for a tight area, you can slide it back down without turning the mod off entirely.
Does Roadrunner speed up swimming as well as running on land?
Yes. Roadrunner boosts your swimming in Sons of the Forest by the same amount as your running and walking, so it's not limited to dry land. That's genuinely useful, since the island has offshore points of interest and water crossings that normally take a slow, tedious paddle. With Roadrunner on, you cut across water quickly and reach those spots without the long swim. Keep in mind it changes your movement speed only — things like your breath underwater, cold from freezing water, and any enemies in the area still behave normally. What Roadrunner guarantees is that the distance itself stops being the thing that slows you down.
When is Roadrunner most useful in Sons of the Forest?
Roadrunner is great for exploring the whole map, backtracking for supplies, escaping a bad fight, or just cutting down the boring walk between objectives in Sons of the Forest. Because the peninsula is so large, a lot of playtime is spent simply travelling — Roadrunner turns those long treks into quick hops so you spend more time on the parts you enjoy. It pairs well with Infinite Stamina, so you can move fast without ever tiring, and with Fly for reaching high or blocked areas. Works best in solo or offline play; in co-op, movement outcomes are decided by the host.
