Combining RunAndGun and Combat Extended (CE) transforms RimWorld into a high-stakes, tactical shooter where positioning and mobility are as vital as firepower.

What is Run and Gun Combat Extended?
In the brutal world of RimWorld, combat is often a stationary affair—pawns stand in lines, exchange fire based on hidden dice rolls, and hope the RNG gods are in their favor. However, for players seeking a more tactical, "high-fidelity" experience, the combination of Combat Extended (CE) and RunAndGun is the ultimate game-changer. Together, they transform the game from a statistical simulation into a deadly, fluid tactical shooter. The Foundation: Combat Extended (CE)
The Anchor: Combat Extended If Run and Gun provides the fluidity of movement, Combat Extended provides the crushing weight of reality. CE is a total conversion mod that replaces RimWorld’s hit-chance calculations with a physics-based ballistics engine. Bullets are no longer abstract rays that check for hit percentages; they are physical projectiles with mass, velocity, and trajectory.
