Bomb Launcher family
Bladed harpoon launcher, adapted to fire projectiles with a delayed explosive. Lethal at short range but cumbersome to reload.
loaded / in reserve / total
1 round.
The muzzle climbs 8° after every shot. How much of the screen that eats is not fixed - it depends on how wide your own field of view is, so these are drawn at the game's default 55°, and a wider setting costs you less of it.
Your weapon rests shouldered, so that is the cone an unaimed shot uses - crouching, walking and jumping all scale it. Sighted, it closes to 0.45.
One shot, then 6.9s to load it back. 6.9s for one full trip through the magazine.

Louder than 4% of the arsenal to AI. That is what monsters notice. Another hunter hears the shot out to 750 m - the same for every weapon in the game, so this bar is about stealth from AI, not from people.
of 150 weapons, Flame Rifle to Uppercut Precision
Drag to a distance and fire. Each layer fades, dulls and drops out on the game's own curves - past 750 m the report stops dead, which is the game's cutoff rather than a fade.
Built from the weapon's real sound layers, each following the volume, filter and dropout curve the game authors for it, plus one synthesized echo tail taken from the game's own outdoor reverb settings (decay 6 s, predelay 50 ms). Not reproduced: exact room-by-room tails, the stereo image, obstruction by terrain and buildings, and the variation the game adds between shots.
The game's trait descriptions give no numbers. Where this weapon's own attribute presets substitute values for an active trait, they are below.
Crack Shot affects this weapon, but this guide has no figure for what it does here. Other weapons do carry values.
Swaps in the game's expedited reload animation
| Stat | Base | With |
|---|---|---|
| Reload start | 6.633 s | 3.967 s |
Where a trait swaps in a different reload animation, the seconds come from that animation's own recorded length rather than from any weapon stat. A longer start is not always worse: on a clip-fed rifle the expedited animation takes longer to begin and then loads several rounds at once.
Only stats the trait actually moves are listed - a value the trait leaves untouched is omitted rather than shown unchanged. A crouched-spread multiplier of 1 means crouching stops steadying the weapon at all while that mode is active. Dual wielding is a weapon capability rather than a trait, and is not uniformly an upgrade: several pistols fire slower akimbo than single, in exchange for the doubled magazine.
Every trait this weapon's own data references. A recommendation is the game's own; the numbers above are the ones we can prove from the weapon's attribute presets.
A few perks carve out exceptions in their own description - Crack Shot excludes shotguns and sawed-off variants - so read the perk text, not just the listing.
