.22 Rifle

A rare sniper-class weapon that fires a single shot dealing 12 damage at up to 20 tiles range — one of the longest-range, hardest-hitting options in the game. The severe drawback is durability: only 2-4 uses before it breaks. This makes the .22 Rifle a precision tool for eliminating high-value targets or bursting down bosses, not a general-purpose weapon. Line of sight required. Save your shots for when they matter most.

12 damage at 20-tile range is exceptional — the Sniper Rifle outdamages it (at 25 damage) but the .22 Rifle provides meaningful long-range burst at rare rarity while the Sniper Rifle is very rare. Against bosses, 12 damage per shot across 2-4 uses equals 24-48 damage from safety. The Blacksmith ability can restore uses through basic attacks, effectively refilling the rifle for continued use beyond its base durability.

Best reserved for boss fights, elite enemies, or situations where you need guaranteed damage from maximum safety. Avoid wasting shots on regular enemies that can be handled with basic attacks. The Blacksmith interaction makes it dramatically more valuable if you have that ability, transforming it from a limited specialist weapon into a reliable primary option.
