Title: Shotgun question
Post by: dreamician on March 11, 2010, 23:29

Okay, so one of the tips I picked up while reading through some posts here was to fire a shotgun into unexplored territory and listen for screams etc. Alright, when you fire without a target, the cursor starts on your character. So here's the question:

If you move the targetting cursor one square away will the shotgun still shoot to its maximum range, or do you have to move the cursor out until it stops to get a full range shot?

One square's all you need. The square you select for the overwhelming majority of weapons only affects the angle.

The Revenant's Launcher is the only exception I know of, where you instead target a specific square.
