New Features
NEW WEAPONS ( and their proficiency of course)!
Longbow:
· Left-click shoots arrows that damage enemies. Shots can be charged by holding the left click. The longer it is held, the further it shoots and the more it deals damage. There is a maximum charge indicated by a circle forming around your reticule.
· Right-click switches between default arrows and special arrows.
· Special arrows split into 10 smaller arrows in a horizontal fan shape at a distance of 5 meters after being fully charged. Uncharged arrows will shoot the default arrow.
