Combat Playstyle
A rapid-firing ranged weapon that allows you to kite dangerous beasts across the Mining Colony. With high Dexterity, this weapon lets you dispatch targets from a safe distance before they can close the gap into melee range.
Stat Scaling & Requirements
This weapon scales primarily with Dexterity (1x weight). Ideal for thieves, shadows, and hunters looking to build high-crit ranged characters. Focus on training Dexterity to increase your accuracy and critical hit rates.
Combat Synergy & Faction Context
Aligns with the aggressive, high-risk tactics of Lee's Mercenaries and Rogues. Designed for maximum damage output to dominate in turf wars over the Ore Mound, it benefits from high stamina conservation tactics.
Colony Pro-Tip
"Always maintain high ground when using this ranged weapon. The Gothic engine grants a slight accuracy and target acquisition bonus when firing from elevated ledges or wooden towers."
