The main difference between gun and bow combat is that guns need to be reloaded when emptied. The trade off is that guns have high burst damage, leading to hit and run strategies being more favoured by gunners. | The main difference between gun and bow combat is that guns need to be reloaded when emptied.

The weapons available to a gunner also determine playstyle: pistols' ideal range is close-up, with high damage per ammunition expended and fast reload times. Assault rifles have a medium ideal range with 3 shot-bursts and high damage per turn, but are extremely ammunition-inefficient. Railguns have extreme burst damage at long range, but take very long to reload and use expensive energy cells as ammunition. It's also possible for a gunner to carry multiple guns | The weapons available to a gunner also determine playstyle: pistols' ideal range is close-up, with high damage per ammunition expended and fast reload times.

Railguns have extreme burst damage at long range, but take very long to reload and use expensive energy cells as ammunition. It's also possible for a gunner to carry multiple guns for use in different situations. However, it should be noted that while reloading, all other shooting weapons you have will be disabled. | ||
