RUNNING WITH RIFLES news & patch notes

Happy Easter, Runners!

Hello Runners,

First of all, RUNNING WITH RIFLES is available for a limited time at the steepest discount ever! Grab it while it's hot if you didn't already! Second, and this might catch you off-guard but the RWR Vanilla family will grow soon, more about this topic later.

Last but not least - we know a lot of you Runners were waiting for this - we are excited to share the news that we have reached a new milestone by publishing the store presence of RWR 2 here on Steam.

RWR2 will be bigger, smarter, and more tactical than ever and offering a whole bunch of new possibilities without losing the flow and the charm that characterized RUNNING WITH RIFLES.

If you are hungry for more and can't wait any longer, then follow the link to the RWR 2 store page below:

While the Prologue trailer is viewable on the RWR 2 store page, you can also watch it directly on Youtube for a 4K version.

As mentioned at the start of this news post, the Vanilla family will grow later this year with a new DLC with the codename RUNNING WITH RIFLES:EXTENDED!

It will feature a new campaign with 2 brand new factions, the Blueboots and the Whitefangs with their own arsenal and equipment. With it comes a new set of maps and of course, the new content will also be entirely playable in online Invasion!

There is no release date yet but early meteorological forecast shows the storm is brewing up, and will hit the coast around Q3 2026! More info will be dropped in a dedicated news post within the next weeks.

Happy Summertime, Runners!

Last year's summer event was a hit among the community, which is why we're bringing back the fun — with some exciting new additions! The community has once more been on fire to make this content possible while the core of the Vanilla development team has shifted to the RWR2 development.

The good old off-duty veteran is back as fit as ever to continue causing chaos across the enemy lines!

We also added a new Cooling Box 3 as a random soldier drop with pre-existing rare stuff and with brand new equipment and goodies such as 5 new weapons.

In this update we added a new unit called the VIP exclusively for online invasion which is a blue helmet war reporter equipped with a ballistic shield and a camera. This pacifist unit needs to be escorted to another base. The commander will inform you on the tactical map where the VIP is and which base he needs to be escorted to. Note that the VIP is not spawning on every map but average on every third map. A successful mission rewards the entire server with a ticket which can recompense you with items from a pool of pretty much every equipment piece the Seasonal Event has to offer!

The Summer Event will last the entire Summer so there is plenty of time to get the most out of it! Enjoy!

• New objectives: The campaign has a larger variety of objectives and advancing further in the game isn't always about capturing zones.
• New building system: Some buildings feature interiors now, and some walls are destructible for entrance, and most walls feature damage effects.
• New health system: Actual health is in play now with self-healing, allowing player to spend time more surviving and less respawning.
• New camera control: The camera rotates now *shock*
• New stealth mechanics: High grass and foliage help staying unnoticed, there are lights to stay away from at night time. In certain circumstances, enemies don't recognize you as their enemy.
• New AI: Bots and commanders have learned plenty of new tricks, e.g. chasing, driving in a convoy, retreating, looting and moving items, and a whole lot of changes in combat. They handle new types of objectives and communicate their intent better to player. AI navigation has been pretty much rebuilt.

• New vehicle types: Helicopters!
