Your colonists can never be a true Rambo if they cannot gun while they are running. Therefore, this mod adds a mode that, when enabled, allows drafted colonists and NPC pawns to shoot while moving at the cost of an accuracy and movement penalty . These penalties can be modified in the mod settings of this mod.


Overpowered?
Seriously, I get this a lot. But please, take a look at the mod settings, you can make RunAndGun as useless or as OP as you want. This makes saying that this mod is overpowered is as silly as saying your television is too loud because you never figured out how to tweak the volume. Also, don't forget enemies also run and gun. At its default settings RunAndGun may make the early game easier as it makes kiting easier. But during later games it makes large raids much more chaotic and harder to handle.

Some things to take into account
- NPC pawns are also capable of Running and Gunning. This can be disabled in the mod settings if that is too intimidating for you.
- Fire at will should be enabled. Firing manually will cause the pawn to stop running.
- Run&Gun mode can only be enabled when the pawn is drafted, and is carrying a ranged weapon in its hands.
- The movement penalty is only applied at the moment the pawn is actually shooting or cooling down after shooting. So don't bother disabling Run&Gun every time you just want your pawn to walk somewhere.
- The accuracy penalty is only applied when pawns with RunAndGun enabled are actually moving, so don't bother disabling RunAndGun every time a pawn stands still while shooting.
- The movement penalty depends on the heavyness of a weapon. A weapon can either be heavy or light. Light weapons get a lower movement penalty compared to heavy ones. What is considered a heavy/light weapon can be configured in the mod settings.
- Enemy pawns will also run and gun while fleeing. However, the chance that they do this can be configured in the mod settings.
- By default, RunAndGun can be activated with any weapon. RunAndGun can be forbidden for certain weapons in the mod settings though.

Known issues
All issues communicated to me that I could reproduce are solved as far as I know. This does not necessarily mean no issues exist. Please let me know if you find any issues. I want them gone as bad as you.

Dependencies
This mod depends on Hugslib, so make sure that mod loads before this mod does.

Compatibility of saves and other mods
- Is compatible with existing saves.
- Works very well with Giddy-up! Battle mounts, as it allows pawns to shoot while riding.
- No known compatibility issues with other mods. Please let me know if you find any.

Upcoming Features
I would like to implement the following features but do not promise anything. The list is ordered by priority (highest priority on top).

-Allow the AI to use RunAndGun, can be turned off in the mod options
-Option in the mod settings that can toggle if enemy pawns can fire while they are fleeing
-Make the movement penalty dependent on the gun that is being used (suggested by: Not Birthday Boy (Alfons)).
-Adding a mod option that allows users to forbid RunAndGun for certain weapons.
-Extra movement penalty when pawns are shooting while running backwards.
-Making the movement and accuracy penalty dependent on the shooting skill while allowing users to configure this.
-Allowing melee weapons to be used while running.

No longer active as modder.
I'm currently no longer active as modder because I'm working on my own game now. I do intend to keep my mods alive, but won't add any new content.

The game I'm working on right now (with Oskar Potocki) is called Cursed Crew.
Cursed crew is a roguelike crew management game taking place on a 17th century ship in a fantasy setting. You control a captain that needs to keep the ship’s crew alive in a harsh world with environmental hazards, pirates, stowaways, sea monsters and more. More info can be found on the Discord server of our game:

[discord.gg]

You can also check out the Patreon page[www.patreon.com] of Cursed Crew if you'd like to know more, or if you'd like to support us.

We've also set up a Steam page for our game now. Make sure to wishlist it!

Is this mod safe to use?

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
Then enable the mod in the game mods menu by double clicking on its name and restart the game
