About Sling Shot
Want to knock out a T-Rex with your slingshot? Well heres your chance. The Slingshot is the first ranged weapon available to players. It's a short-to-medium range weapon that uses Stones for ammo. Compared to other weapons, it's most notable for its ability to inflict Torpor, making it ideal for early tamers. Usage Slingshots are used to inflict Torpor from a distance. A successful shot will inflict 23.8 points of Torpor (primitive version and fully charged) onto your target, while only dealing a low amount of damage. This is perfect for safely immobilizing small creatures and players. Once unconscious, creatures are defenseless, and are able to be tamed. It is most effective if you shoot on the head. Notes/Tips Holding the 'Alt Fire' button (default Right Mousebutton) will put the Slingshot in front of the player's camera, allowing for slightly better aiming at the cost of reduced movement speed. The Slingshot has an incredibly short drop-off range, so it's advised to aim high in most instances. The Slingshot is useful for early-game hunters to help take down dangerous prey without getting too close. This is a great ranged weapon for beginners. The ammo is cheap and easy to acquire, and its damage is low compared to other ranged weapons, reducing messy friendly-fire accidents.
