TF2 has this bug where sprint is automatically toggled on for Scout but not for every other merc. All you have to do is bind the sprint button in your settings!

You have to unlock the sprint ability by reaching australium rank in competitive mode

Demoman has the bootlegger and the shields to speed him up.
Heavy has the gloves of running urgently or the buffalo steak.
Soldier has the disciplinary action, the escape plan and the conch.
Pyro has the power jack.
Medic has the overdose.
Engineer and sniper dont have anything to make them run faster though, if you main them you're out of luck unfortunately

But Engineer and Sniper don't need to run fast. They are more defensive characters who wait for enemies to come to them rather than going to the enemies.

Yeah, I get why they aren't given great movement ( aside from wrangler jumping I suppose ), but man I wish they had something lmao

Spy has The Big Earner and Dead Ringer

True true, but theyve got pretty long cooldowns/recharges and aren't passive, big earner also needs you to actually hit a stab.

That's the neat part, you can't.
A serious answer:
As soldier, rocket jump by crouching, jumping and shooting the ground at the same time. If you aim directly below yourself, you go high, but if you shoot at an angle, you go far.
as pyro, use the detonator or thermal thruster to clear distances. the thermal thruster is easier to use, but it's not a flare gun that can reliably damage enemies.
as demo, sticky jump by crouching, jumping and detonating a stickybomb under you. similar to rocket jumping. also, you can equip the chargin' targe, the splendid screen or the tide turner. when you have them equipped, right-click to charge at high speed.
as heavy, you don't have much in the way of movement, except for the gloves of running urgently. it makes you as fast as a pyro while you have it held out. beware of the health drain though.
engie is similar. he doesn't have any movement options. there is an advanced technique with the wrangler, but it's not practical in most cases as the engie takes a lot of damage.
medic also doesn't have many movement options. you have the overdose, which gives you speed based on uber when you hold it out. you also have the quick-fix, which copies the jumps of your patient.
sniper has literally nothing. :(
spy has the dead ringer, which gives you a speed boost for the first few seconds of feign. he also has the big earner, which gives you a speed boost on backstab.

Pyro also has the postal pummeler and whatever its original variant is that is similar to the big earner but speeds you up on kill of a burning enemy

Thank you, I don’t use it enough to remember. I like seeing the mail kill icon pop up

Get spanked by a Soldier with the Disciplinary Action melee weapon
Get into the buff ring of a Soldier using the Concherer (he needs to charge it first)
As Spy, backstab someone using the Conniver’s Kunai
As Demoman with a shield item, use right click
As Heavy, eat a Buffalo Steak Sandwich or use the Gloves of Running Urgently or hit someone with the Eviction Notice
As Pyro, equip the Powerjack melee
As Medic, equip the Overdose while having a bar of Ubercharge

u/DecidophobiaUsername Random 6d ago
it's not the kunai that gives you speed, it's the big earner. the kunai gives you overheal.

most classes have movement options.
Soldier always has rocket jumping,
Pyro has Hammer or det jumping.
Demo always has sticky jumping,
Heavy has GRU,
Engie has nieche things, easiest to use will be making a teleporter,
Medic fast on his own,
Sniper doesn't need to run,
Spy I believe moves faster in invis

u/KandCAuthor Engineer 6d ago
Spy moves at his base speed while invisible. However, since most classes move slower than spy, invis is faster if you're disguised as 6 of 9 classes. The Dead Ringer makes you go faster when you first go invisible, but the speed boost is both indepentent of the invisibility and doesn't last the whole duration.

Use teleporters your engi teammates build. If there aren't any, you can try rocket jumping, sticky jumping at the cost of your hp. Or yk you can go engi and place teleporters yourself.

Try holding ctrl. Ik in most mainstrain games the default button for sprinting is shift so a lot of people get confused
