v0.34:Blowgun
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
- For a comparison of different weapons, see Weapon.
A blowgun is a ranged weapon that fires projectiles called darts. Blowguns are relatively rare, being used primarily by certain bands of animal people. Dwarfs in strange moods can also make blowguns at a Boyer's Workshop. Currently it is not possible for your dwarves to add a poison or toxin to a weapon, making blowguns even more underwhelming.
As ranged weapons, blowguns use and train the blowgunner skill; as melee weapons blowguns use and train the swordsdwarf skill instead. Dwarves cannot forge blowguns nor darts, limiting supply to whatever low-quality specimens can be wrested from indigenous populations. Even if you do manage to get your hands on a blowgun, the severe lack of ammunition will make it nearly impossible to field an effective blowgun-dwarf. All dwarves can equip blowguns.
Bugs
- If squad is assigned multiple ammo types, dwarves with "individual choice ranged" may carry wrong ammoBug:1374.
