Why Can't I Run After Dropping a Chest in Sea of Thieves?

-

Whenever I drop a chest in Sea of Thieves, it seems like I get stuck and can’t run for a short period of time. This happens no matter where I am, and it’s really frustrating, especially in fast-paced scenarios. I’m playing on PC via Game Pass. Can anyone help me figure this out?

How often do you find yourself sorting chests while in a fight? It can be tricky managing both at the same time, but I also used to have some fun messing with new players by dropping treasure on their ships while they tried to fend me off. Not exactly fighting, but it definitely added to the chaos!

Check if you accidentally toggled the slow walk option. Sometimes, the sprint button can get bound to the same key. Just a thought!

This was the issue! I didn’t realize they were using the same button. Thanks for the tip!

You might just need to double-tap the sprint button to re-initiate it after dropping the chest. Give that a try!
