Which Vitality Perk is better? Marthon Man vs Sprinter in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance you have a choice between two perks in the Vitaility Stat. They are Sprinter and Marathon Man. On Reddit u/Squirrel_Dude does an analysis which comes to the conclusion that Sprinter will take you a farther distance than running in normal or Marathon Man speed. You can see the post here.

Vitality Perk Details:

• Marathon Man: You run slower, but keep it up for longer. Your sprint speed is 20% slower, but demands 20% less Stamina.
• Sprinter: You run faster, but also tire faster. Sprinting is 20% faster, but costs 20% more Stamina.

I did a little test and can confirm that the Sprinter perk does in fact take you farther over time.

After saving at the Mill in Rattay I could reload and test both perks plus normal speed. I used a stopwatch to run for 2 mins each time.

• Each time I ran from the exact same spot
• Ran flat out until the stamina was empty
• Walk until stamina was completely regenerated.
• Ran again, etc until the timer expired.

I took a screenshot of the starting location and ending location of each test. Here are the results.

Some players choose not to take either and I feel this is a mistake. Aside from travelling farther, the speed boost will assist you in catching those pesky runners and dashing from a fight.

Furthermore, you can negate the Stamina penalty in Sprinter by taking the Maintenance perk: Seven Mile Boots.

• Seven Mile Boots: If you’re wearing boots you repaired yourself, sprinting will cost you 20% less Staminia, so you can run for longer.

Happy Sprinting!
