Throwing weapons are the hardest to use properly. They have the worst accuracy, lowest range, and highest arc of all ranged weapons.
Throwing weapons are the hardest to properly use. They have the worst accuracy, lowest range, and highest arc of all ranged weapons.
    
    
Throwing weapons, unlike other ranged weapons, can be used while holding a shield so you can throw something between blocks. They're also fast and immediately have maximum accuracy so there's no need to wait a long time for the aiming reticle to decrease in size. Many throwing weapons though have low damage but their power skill has the highest boost so they're potentially very dangerous. They can also be thrown very rapidly. They give you an effective ranged weapon without having to spend two inventory slots (a launcher and ammo with crossbows/bows) and without having to sacrifice a shield.
