| Class | Cool Perk |
| Attribute | Cool |

| Levels | 1 |
| Requires | Deadeye |
| Affects | Only affects Pistols |
Run 'N' Gun makes pistols free to fire from the hip and fast to move with. Hip fire costs no stamina at all, and while Focus is running V moves considerably faster. It sits at the top of the Cool tree and applies to pistols alone. It is the gunslinger's finish to the marksman branch.
Effect
Removing the stamina cost of hip fire takes the ration off a pistol entirely. There is no longer a reason to aim down the sights for cheapness, and no limit on how many shots a fight can hold.
The movement speed during Focus is what separates this from the sniping perks beside it. A pistol build with this perk fights at a walk or a run, firing continuously, rather than holding an angle.
How to Unlock Run 'N' Gun
It sits behind the Legend gate of the Cool tree, so almost every point goes into Cool. Deadeye must be fully bought first.
Perk Tree
Run 'N' Gun is bought from Deadeye in the Cool tree.
| Name | Image | Tier | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deadeye | Phenom (15) | +10% headshot and weak spot damage. |
Character Builds
The build is the gunslinger, carrying a pistol and fighting at a walk rather than from cover.
Buy it as the Legend gate opens, after Deadeye. Focus and its supporting perks are what the movement bonus reads, so the branch below has to be complete, and the free hip fire means the stamina bar is left entirely for movement.
Notes
Focus is the mode the speed bonus reads, and Head To Head and No Sweat are what keep that mode running.
Revolvers, precision rifles and sniper rifles are not covered, and Nerves Of Tungsten-Steel at the same height is theirs instead.
