About

Shoot is the attack that is used for the Firing of Ranges Weapons.

Slingshot

The Slingshot is the first Ranged Weapon available in the game. Although the Slingshot doesn't do much Blood damage it can be a useful tool for hunting, as it allows you to initiate Combat without the Creature running away. The Slingshot uses Any Stones as ammunition, but does not need to be loaded; instead it will use Stones from you inventory so be careful not have any rare inpirationals which counts as Stones in your inventory when using the Slingshot. To Shoot a Slingshot, you must equipped it to the Left Hand, then click the Shoot Attack and click the cursor in the direction you wish to Shoot. After a moment you will Shoot your Slingshot in the direction you chose, if the target has moved, you will miss, so aim well. Shots do not travel over solid objects.

Slingshot Blood Damage seems to be around 0.5*sqrt(YB/10). This probably won't kill the Creature you are Shooting at, but if Fired from a distance, it will give you time ready another Attack before the Creature gets to you.

Guns

Gunpowder and Musket Balls are required to Shoot guns. Gunpowder can be purchased in the Providence Stalls in 50g batches for 15 Silver Pieces. Unlike other powders, Gunpowder cannot be stored in a Dry Goods Bag, but instead 500g of Gunpowder can be stored in a Powder Horn, which can also be purchased in Providence for 500 Silver Pieces. Musket Balls are purchased in Providence at 10 Musket Balls for 70 Silver Pieces. Each shot takes 5g of Gunpowder and 1 Musket Ball making each shot cost about 8 Silver Pieces.

To Shoot a Gun it must first be equipped. Make sure you have learned the Firearms Skill and that both hands are empty and equip the gun in the Left-hand slot. First select Gunpowder from your inventory and right-click it on your now-equipped Gun. Repeat the process with your Musket Balls. Click the Shoot Attack and click the cursor in the direction you wish to Shoot, this will drain about 20% of your Black Bile. It will take moment for you to Aim the Gun and Shoot, using the At the Ready Action reduces this time. After a moment you will Shoot your Gun in the direction you chose, if the target has moved, you will miss, so aim well. Shots do not travel over solid objects.

Shooting another Pilgrim does high Blood and will caused them to be Snared, which slows their movement speed for a great deal of time.
