Huntweapontutorial

Huntress (and Ranger) weapons are firearms which have a limited clip size and need to be reloaded when they run out of ammunition. The player has an infinite ammo supply to restock from when needed or desired. All Huntress weapons have fully automatic firing; they will continuously shoot at a specified rate per second, until the attack button is released. Weapon size is absolutely inconsequential for Series EV and only affects the distance away projectiles are released for other users.

Distinct Stats[]

  • Shots per Second: The weapon's attack rate. Only upgradable on every fourth item level minus one (3, 7, 11, 15, etc.), until the it caps out for the weapon.
  • Clip Ammo: The weapon's ammunition capacity.
  • Reload Speed Bonus: Determines the time taken to reload, based on how empty the ammo clip is.
  • Additional Projectiles: The number of extra projectiles fired per volley. Only upgradable on every fifth item level minus one (4, 9, 14, 19, etc.)
  • Projectile Speed: Determines the velocity of projectiles. Can be upgraded up until ~+30,000.

General Weapon Categories[]

  • Crossbows
  • Guns
  • Cannons
  • Flamethrowers
  • Grenade Launchers

List of Huntress Weapons[]

  • All random weapon drops from enemies and chests will be Huntress weapons if everyone in the game lobby is currently a Huntress/Ranger.
  • By default, any specific mission victory rewards below are guaranteed if the player is a Huntress or Ranger. Series EV has a 50% chance (25% for Jester and Summoner) to receive the corresponding weapon.
