Ranged Weapons
There are 112 ranged weapons in total.[1] The total damage and knockback of a ranged weapon in use is the sum of the weapon's stats and the ammunition's stats.[1] Launchers and several other ranged weapons that do not fit into the main categories are referred to as Specialist Weapons in the code.[1] Specialist weapons are buffed by the Shroomite Helmet.[1]
Weapons that inflict ranged damage and typically need ammunition to operate are called ranged weapons.[1] Bows, repeaters, guns, launchers, and consumable weapons are the groups they fall into.[1]
Consumables
Consumable weapons benefit from ammo conservation from armor items, but not from the Magic Quiver, Ammo Box, or Ammo Reservation Potion.[2] Consumable ranged weapons are used up after one use, and how many you have depends on the amount you carry.[2]
Guns
The Sniper Rifle has extraordinarily high base damage of 200.[3] The S.D.M.G. has an extraordinarily low use time of 5, meaning it shoots extremely quickly.[3]
