Ranged Weapon Mechanics

Ranged weapons in Remixed Dungeon follow specific mechanics that govern how they function, including ammunition requirements, accuracy, and special properties.

• Damage: The minimum and maximum damage values the weapon can deal
• Delay: The time needed to perform an attack with this weapon
• Accuracy: How likely the weapon is to hit its target at range
• Strength: The minimum strength required to use the weapon effectively
• Ammunition: Most ranged weapons require specific ammunition to function

Ranged weapons use an ammunition system that requires specific types of projectiles:

• Bows require Arrows
• Crossbows require Bolts
• Dart Throwers require Darts
• Wands use charges instead of physical ammunition

Ranged weapons have different accuracy based on distance:

• Close range (1-2 tiles): 100% accuracy
• Medium range (3-4 tiles): 80% accuracy
• Long range (5+ tiles): 60% accuracy, with additional penalty for each additional tile

Some ranged weapons have special properties when used:

• Wands can have unique magical effects based on their type
• Enhanced ranged weapons with enchantments may have additional effects
• Throwing weapons may break after use depending on their durability

• Bows - Traditional projectile weapons requiring arrows
• Crossbows - Powerful ranged weapons with slower fire rate
• Dart Throwers - Throwing weapons for short-medium range
• Wands - Magic projectile weapons with charges
