Question about the "sprint" perk from athletics

[Skyler712]

If i have the perk with a bow in battle, used all their arrows, drop then the bow, would i have the perk activated? Ty!

Hey! This perk should work fine when you are not wielding a bow or shield, no matter you wielded at the start of the battle. If you encounter any problems related to this, please feel free to report :)

Is "wield" the same as "carry?" Meaning if I sheath weapons and stow my shield, does the perk kick in?

[only if im Abel to]

i gotta necro this real quick-

does this apply to thrown weapons? if no then if i switch the throwing axe into melee mode will it still count against Sprint activating?

the text says "When no shields and range weapons are wielded, you gain 5% movement speed." meaning if you dont have shields or ranged weapons in your hands you will get that bonus, while melee mode for throwing weapons not a ranged is, there is also a hotkey to stick weapons on your char without dropping them, but mine is custom so idk what the normal one is.

i completely forgot there was a holster button in the game, which makes the perk's activation criteria make more sense to me

im holstering my weapon to go full sprint when its not in my hands ah

thanks for the clear up my man
