Sprinter

The Sprinter is the single fastest zombie type in the SAS zombie assault games. It is, however, the weakest type. Two or three shots from a Glock 17 will kill it. While the player can still move faster than a Sprinter, the Sprinter has the fastest attack speed, able to easily hit a player with a larger gun even when said player is on the move.

Strategy
The Sprinter is difficult to avoid due to its high speed and common spawn rate, even in earlier levels. They also possess the ability to hit the player through barricades. Due to this, if one is at a barricade, it is best to back up or stay out of the way and deal with them.

Running from Sprinters is always preferable to standing and waiting for them to come to you. Sprinters strafe from side to side as they run, making them hard to hit. When they get to you, they can deal a lot of damage very quickly.

Use pistols on them. Even the puny Glock 17 can kill a Sprinter in a only 2-3 shots. This allows the player to conserve ammo for bigger threats.
