Ranged Weapon Damage
Just looking for some clarification on the intended direction of ranged weaponry in Primitive Plus. Spend the last hour doing testing on numerous dinos with Obsidian arrows and the standard pistol ammo and found something that puzzled me. The original bow consistently did 135 damage, while the crossbow also did 135 damage. Now the Longbow only did 122 damage and the flintlock pistol did 112 damage. Just curious why a bow and pistol that are more difficult to craft are being out damaged by the lowest tier bow in the game. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
