Run and Gun + Combat Extended: The Ultimate Guide to Mobile Firepower in RimWorld

Introduction: Two Philosophies, One Battlefield

In vanilla RimWorld, combat is a turn-based-esque chess match of cover, peek, and pray. You stand still to shoot. You move to reposition. The enemy does the same. Enter Combat Extended (CE) , which overhauls the system into a realistic ballistics simulation: suppression, armor penetration, ammo types, and lethal crossfire. Then enter Run and Gun – which lets pawns shoot while moving.

• Outer ring: spike traps, mines, killzone funnels.
• Mid ring: angled sandbag positions for skirmishers, embrasures for marksmen.
• Inner fallback: med bay, ammo depot, secure power and turrets (if used).

→ Reorder: CE → Run and Gun → CE patch.
→ Check that patch is loaded (mod list shows “RunAndGun_CE” as active). rimworld run and gun combat extended
