Ranged Weapons are used to deal damage to the enemy at a distance.

Each type of Ranged Weapon uses ammo from designated ammo source:

  • Throwing Weapons bundles have 5 projectiles (6 for Bolas).
  • Bows use ammo from equipped quiver of arrows.
  • Crossbows and Handgonnes equipped in active weapon slots at the start of a battle are pre-loaded. Later, Crossbows and Handgonnes respectively require equipped quiver of bolts or gunpowder bag for reload.

Projectile bundles of Throwing Weapons, ammo for quivers and gunpowder bags are automatically refilled after combat from global ammo stockpile.

Multiple quivers or gunpowder bags can easily be carried into battle as they have no fatigue penalty.

Slings use stones and, thus, have infinite ammo source. Slings don't require any bags or quivers as well.

For tactical use of some weapon types, visit the section page.
