Movement Speed 
is an attribute and mechanic in Outward.
Overview
The more movement speed bonus a player has, the faster they move. Negative bonuses result in the player moving more slowly.
Other than the attribute, the character's movement speed can be affected by:
- Sprinting increases player movement speed by 75%
- Crouching reduces movement speed by -42.5%, or -25% if Stealth Training is learned.
- Blocking and sliding down slopes reduces movement speed by -40%.
- Carrying too much Weight, or wearing Equipment with negative movement speed attributes will reduce player speed.
- Unsheathing your Weapon will slow movement speed by -12.5% unless crouching, this is a hidden effect which is not visible on the stats screen.
At -100% movement speed, the character will be completely immobilized, unable to even dodge. However, even the tiniest amount of movement speed above -100% will allow the character to dodge and perform actions freely, allowing one to roll back to a city with enormous amounts of loot.

Notes
- A niche use for movement speed bonus is when the player has far too much Weight and they are unable to move. With movement speed bonus, the player can carry far more items before reaching this limit, up to 1184 "kg" has been reached with the player still being able to move (at 80% bonus).
