| + | #REDIRECT[[Ranged Weapons]] |
| − | | |
| − | '''Ranged Weapons''' ('''launchers''') are weapons that can fire missiles from a distance; slings, bows, and crossbows. Being able to attack enemies from anywhere in [[line of sight]] is a large perk, especially for faster characters. However, not only are they weaker than their melee counterparts, but ranged weapons are subject to some unique quirks.

| − | ==History==
| |
| − | *In [[0.27]], monsters with ranged attacks got unlimited ammunition (except [[net]]s). Throwing ammo was reduced as a result.
| |
| − | *In [[0.24]], throwing weapons were streamlined. Darts replaced blowguns/needles, boomerangs replaced tomahawks and brands were simplified.
| |
| − | *Prior to [[0.18]], each weapon had a strength weight percentage that determined how the weapon would benefit from your strength and dexterity. Additionally, more types of ammunition could have brands of their own.
| |
| − | *Prior to [[0.15]], ranged combat was significantly more complicated; among other differences, min delay was heavily influenced by your [[stats]]. Additionally, 0.15 introduced greatslings (later called fustibali), hand crossbows, and triple crossbows, and removed the old version of darts.
| |
| − | *Prior to [[0.14]], [[dagger]]s, [[spear]]s, [[hand axe]]s, and [[club]]s could be thrown.
| |
| − | *Prior to [[0.11]], ammunition could have its own [[enchantment]] bonuses.
| |
| − | *Prior to [[0.6]], darts could be fired from an early version of hand crossbows instead of being thrown by hand.
