Ranged Weapons

Ranged weapons and ammunition

Unlike melee weapons, ranged weapons rely on ammunition. If a ranged weapon is not loaded, the character will not be able to attack with it. Reloading is accomplished for 1 AP by clicking on name of the ammunition associated with weapon in the inventory list.

Ranged Weapons
Name	Base damage	Base accuracy	Normal trade value	Locations	Notes
Rifle	5	20%	$300	Outsider Weapon Huts, Jungle	Needs ammo (rifle bullets). Holds 2 bullets at a time. Requires 2 inventory spaces (regardless of how many bullets are loaded). (Natives require outsider knowledge to use.)
Blowpipe	4 (and some poison damage)	20%	$300	Native Weapon Huts, Jungle	Needs ammo (poison darts). Darts are not loaded into the blowpipe, like the rifle, but poison darts are taken directly from their stack. Uses 2 inventory spaces. (Outsiders require native knowledge to use.). Requires 1.5 AP to fire, but the Native skill Basic Blowpipe use drops this to 1 AP. Initially inflicts 4 HP of damage for 4 XP. Animals take a further 2 HP of damage immediately from poison, while human targets incur 1 HP of damage until they are healed with a healing herb or a first aid kit. No XP is gained from poison damage.
