Not missing with sling

Post by grimdark »

I have a quality 6 string, 14 Per 10 marksman, and I cant even hit a bunny with 75% full aiming bar.

What do I need to improve out of these things to start to hit reliably?

Never try to hit a rabbit with a ranged weapon for one. Just pick them up and snap their neck. Only hunt larger game with ranged weapons.

Well I was just practicing to see if I'd even be able to hit anything. And apparently I can't, or are rabbits special?

I don't want to try a fox or something until I know I can do it.

Surround the fox with a fence (make sure it's an actual fence and not signs) and just shoot till dead. The other option is to do like everyone else and hunt from a boat.

You can kill even a bear with a q6 sling. It'll take you an hour, but you can do it!

No, they're not special, but you should always pick up live rabbits rather than shooting or punching them first, in case they are Rabid Jackalopes.

Get a boat, and go shoot something while safely sitting in the boat in a river. Animals can't swim, though they may attack your boat if you park it right next to the shore. Don't do that.

It's probably worth getting a better sling before even trying again, q6 is really quite terrible. Get some survival!
