RANGED WEAPONS
RANGEDWEAPONS WEAPONS
There are ranged weapons available in all Four Dimensions. In Prehistoric
they can be stones, slings, spears or bows, in Medieval bows and crossbows,
in Old West guns, shotguns, rifles and throwing knives, in Future laser guns
and grenades. All these have one thing in common - they harm at a distance.
You have to practice the skills for using the weapons, different skills for
different weapon types.
Not all guns and bows you come across are ranged weapons, some of them can be
used as "normal" weapons too. (Generally you get a hint about how to use a
weapon if you look at it). You can usually buy ammo for the weapons in a
weapon shop somewhere in the zone where you find the weapon. Generally the
effect of a weapon varies with the type. A longbow or crossbow can hit the
target at a further range than a common bow, a shotgun makes more damage at
a short distance than a handgun, and for long distance a rifle or laser gun
would be the best choice.
You can use the ranged weapons against both players and mobs. Just be a bit
careful - the mobs will remember who shot at them, and may come after you or
attack you on sight later - and so may the players...
Some mobs are also immune against firearms.
