Ranged Weapons

Effect scaling

Most ranged weapons scale withTactics, though some crossbows only scale withSurvival. A few of these weapons can also dual-scale withBrutality orSurvival, meaning their DPS will scale off the higher stat between the two.

Ammunition

Some Ranged Weapons use ammunition, which will be restored automatically after a short while. Most of these weapons can get affixes that slightly increases their total ammo supply. Some weapons that do not have ammunition can be used repeatedly, namely magic items, while some can only be used again when the thrown weapon has been retrieved, such as the Boomerang. Some weapons with ammo cannot benefit from the effect of the Ammo mutation, they are denoted with † in the following table (some of which include: Hokuto's Bow, War Javelin, and Boomerang).
