What does Momentum mean in BG3?

Momentum is one of many equipment features players can find on various armor/items, which provide passive effects or buffs. Momentum increases the movement speed of players by 3m. However, players lose the boost to movement speed when they get the following:

  • Restrained.
  • Incapacitated.
  • Prone.
  • Slow Down.

Momentum also appears on certain items in Baldur's Gate 3. We recommend using these items on characters such as Astarion who benefit the most from increased mobility. See the list below for a few examples of items with the Momentum equipment feature.

  • Spurred Band
