Tired of boring Bow-and-Arrow-Gameplay? Feel uninspired by always jumping to high ground and simply using the strongest skill currently off cooldown? Do you enjoy the smell of gunpowder and the satisfying recoil provided by firearms? Then the Musketeer Classmod might just be the mod for you.

D:OS2 is a great game that encourages players to strategize and solve problems with creative solutions and ideas. Whilst Pyromancers or Assasins have a diverse arsenal of skills at their disposal, Rangers are left with very little creativity in their toolkit. The Mod was designed with a new Class in mind, the Musketeer that uses firearms to deal heavy ranged-DPS but require more finesse to unleash their high damage potential.

Firearms need to be reloaded when empty and can be loaded with different kinds of Ammunition. In order to clearly show the player his available Ammunition and currently loaded Ammunition-Type, a new Menu, the Ammobar will be available once a firearm is equipped. The Ammobar shows the current and maximum Ammunition of a player's current firearms and also preview the consumption and restoration of Ammunition a skill would provide.


The currently loaded Ammunition-Type is also displayed by a pulsating effect on the top part of the Menu.


The Musketeer Mod does not replace any game content and only adds more options. If your friends still fancy primitve bows and arrows, then let them be. Rifles are a new Weapon-type and not a direct replacement for bows or crossbows.

Features

Weapon Type: Rifles

The Musketeer Classmod introduces Rifles to the game as an alternative to traditional bows and crossbows. Unlike other ranged projectile-based weapons, rifles use ammonition and have to be manually reloaded. Reloading takes time and will occupy you until your next turn.

In total, 3 different types of rifles are available in this mod:

Name	Damage	Range	Maximum Ammunition	Properties
Muskets	Moderate	10m	3-6	Standard issue Musket. Solid and sturdy with moderate damage and range
Matchlock	Moderate - High	8m	6-7	Slight deviation of the traditional Musket. With a slight advantage in firepower at the cost of range
Blunderbuss	High	4m	2-3	A deadly variation of close range firearms. The limited range and capacity it offset by it's big damage potential

A rifle’s attack range also dictates the range of all rifle-based skills introduced in this mod. A Blunderbuss will thus restrict your ranged firepower dramatically, as skills such as Buckshot and Rend the Marked will be harder to use effectively.

Mechanic: Marked Interactions

Most rifle-based skills have special interactions with Marked targets. Marked can be applied by a number of skills introduced in the Musketeer Classmod. The following spells can apply Marked one or more targets:

Death Sentence	Tracking Shot	Blazing Flare	Tripwire Flare	Piercing Ammunition + Tracking Shot
				+

More details about the individual skills are available in the skill overview in the Gameplay section.

Gameplay

Think about how much Ammunition you want to spend in your turn, if you don't want to end up useless next turn because you're empty. All skills have their own purpose.
