Sling should throw rocks further away.

What it says on the title.

I love slings, they are basically a primitive sniper rifle but no game gets it right, so i think it should at least have more range than it does now because right or give it more damage so you can at least one shot small animals or give it bonus damage against small animals because right now its not worth using.

They sound like sniper rifles, too, lol. It would definitely give the Malefactor way more utility and not be quite so useless late game, especially if you can upgrade the sling with better materials to allow you to chuck those stones even further. Malefactor should also get the ability to craft a bola and other types of throwing weapons, in my opinion. Also the ability to craft lead glandes for extra damage.

id say there should be better slings and not locked behind a class to craft lol

thats true, although i dont know how they could add better slings considering its a very simple weapon to begin with.

adding better ammo seems more likely id say, it would also give molds some relevance past the bronce age.

I would t say the sling a bad weapon, sure it only does 2.5 damage, and is more expensive then a simple, requiring 4 more flax, or to be able to make leather, however it offers the fireate of the bow and is cheap to fire, sure a crude bow with hunters featherless arrow, but this takes rocks, no need to knap anything, you’re not worrying about retrieving ammo, and ammo is just laying around, it near impossible to run out it near impossible to run out, and the last small bonus, the rocks skip on water, making hitting across, or in (though anything in water free game already) even easier.

Now I still don’t think the sling is good, but it has it place, slightly higher initial investment, then requiring little upkeep, and no time retrieving ammo. it’s no hunting tool, but it’ll easy to hit things with it, and does just as good as a job as the bow without going bankrupt on feathers and arrow heads (pretend flint don’t exist.)

But, uh, yeah, basicilly just a worse bow in exchange for great ammo economy.
