Ranged Weapons

« Equipment « Table of Contents » Heavy Ranged »

These are weapons you use to apply effects (usually damage) to an enemy or module that might be next to you or some distance away. Unless otherwise specified, you must have Line of Sight to your target (see page 38).

Range Bands

The difficulty to use a ranged weapon assumes the target is within the range band for the weapon. The range band for an unmodified weapon is 5 squares. Butts and scopes modify this number.

For each additional range band (or fraction thereof) you are away from the target add one to the difficulty of your skill check. You can add a butt to any ranged weapon to increase its range band to 10 and use as a melee weapon (page 88).

Scope

Adding a scope to any ranged weapon allows you to consider the distance to target as half as far. Upgraded scopes divide range by 3. This benefit is cumulative with a butt.

Safe

🚫 Weapons with this symbol will not have a chance to cause damage to the module if they miss their target.

Dangerous

☠ Weapons with this symbol are dangerous and harm the user if doubles are thrown in the skill check to use or quickdraw them.
