    Reproducibility: Always

    Summary: Sprinting has odd interactions with Crouching, Aiming Down Sights, and Blocking.

    Description:
    Bug 1 - Crouching is impossible while sprint is either toggled or simply held down.
    Reproduction:
    1. Toggle sprint on (or hold the sprint button)
    2. Try to crouch.
    3. Crouching is impossible while sprint is on.

    Bug 2 - Aiming Down Sights while already moving in sprint will toggle sprint off. It would be more natural if it only interrupted your sprinting until you stopped aiming down sights.
    Reproduction:
    1. Toggle sprint on.
    2. Move forward
    3. While moving forward, start aiming down sights.
    4. When you stop aiming down sights, sprint will be toggled off.

    Bug 3 - Blocking while moving in sprint will only bring the weapon up momentarily, but it will not let you hold the weapon and walk unless sprint is toggled off or not held.
    Reproduction:
    1. Toggle sprint on.
    2. Move forward
    3. While moving forward, attempt to hold block and keep moving.
    4. The weapon will raise for just a moment then go back to neutral instead of staying out to block.

    Online/Offline: Both

    Addendum:
    I have already reported bug 1 on Discord, but this bug report contains more comprehensive info on the interactions with sprinting. These interactions have always been in the game, but they are more problematic now that toggle sprint is available. The bug with crouch is by far the worst of the three for anyone who sprints a lot and also crouches to reduce their recoil or dodge attacks (e.g. the chest laser of the King Flesh Pound). Bugs 2 and 3 don't harm gameplay as much, but it would be a nice quality of life change if they were addressed.
