Alright, miner! So you're looking to get around Hoxxes IV a bit more efficiently, huh? Smart move. Knowing how to get from point A to point B quickly and safely can make a huge difference, especially when the bugs start swarming. Let's break down how you and your fellow Dwarves get around. ## Basic Movement First things first, the basics are the same for everyone. You've got your standard walk (W, S, A, D keys), jump (space bar), and sprint (shift key). Walking speed is about 3 meters per second, and sprinting gets you up to 5 meters per second. Don't forget, you can reload your weapons while sprinting, which is super handy. Jumping will get you about 1.2 meters high. Now, here's a neat trick: if you're falling and touch a vertical surface at about eye level, your Dwarf will automatically grab the ledge and pull themselves up. This is called 'Ledge Grab,' and it's a lifesaver, but remember you can only do it once before you need to touch solid ground again. You've also got pretty good air control, so you can adjust your direction a bit while you're in the air. ## Equipment: Your Mobility Toolkit Beyond the basics, each Dwarf class has some unique gear that really opens up your movement options.
