Some form of easily obtained ranged weapon, like a bow

[Wilsonphiggsfan]

the bow would probably be prototyped with 3 sticks and like... 4 silk. arrows would probably be pretty expensive in bulk

Isn't that what boomerang and blowdarts are? Other than that, easy ranged combat is Walter's perk.

blowdarts should give 4 per craft, not 1

Boomerangs are post-alchemy engine, and blow darts are rather grindy to obtain due to the seasonal feathers. it's likely new players will gravitate more towards the spear or bow due to the marshes being quite difficult to early players.

 

or is it just me who is negatively rubbed by the swamp because a tentacle jumpscare me.
