When it comes to ranged weapons, some stand out far among the rest. This is due to damage and ease of use since this style of fighting doesn’t come with the power of the Runic Arts. Nevertheless, that doesn’t stop these weapons from being the best-ranged weapons inSalt and Sacrifice.
10Mechanical Crossbow
While there may be a vast amount of available crossbows, only two really stand out as being some of the best-ranged weapons available inSalt and Sacrifice. The first is the Chronocraft Arbalest, and the second is the Mechanical Crossbow. It may not have a very cool name but this light and quick weapon is undeniably powerful.
The Mechanical Crossbow is what happens when weapons become uncomplicated. They simply deal damage, scale well, and work without much else. There isn’t much to this weapon aside from the 29 physical and poison damage and the fact that it’s relatively quick. Despite this, it’s a pretty powerful weapon to use for Dexterity builds.
9Rotwood Bow
The Rotwood Bow looks cool and can be extremely effective forany budding archers. Longbows are strong, rare, and extremely useful for some long-ranged damage that either matches or exceeds the likes of most melee weapons.
It’s capable of dealing 31 cold and poison damage which can be extremely effective on certain tricky enemies. However, the use continues by the fact that this power is combined with the range and the possibility to break down the enemy’s guard. It’s one of the strongest bows in the game and for good reason.
8Crystal Axe
Not only does the Crystal Throwing Axe sound cool, but it also looks like it could essentially be vibrating with pure power. That power is directly translated into the 32 light and physical damage it is capable of and brings a vast amount of enjoyment and success to thisoften challenging RPG.

Moreover, it has a great scale for anyone looking at building a strength-based character who wants to either dip or solely use ranged attacks. This means players don’t necessarily have to commit to a ranged build yet can still benefit from this awesome weapon.
7Timepiercer Blades
These rather ornate weapons look as deadly as they hit, often described as being able to disconnect from the traditional flow of time, juttering and shifting as they do so. They have the opportunity to deal damage and break an enemy’s guard which can prove to be particularly useful fortricky to hit bosses.
Nevertheless, once the player has mastered the art of using them they get to enjoy the 32 physical and fire damage this weapon can deal while still staying far enough away to keep as safe as possible.
6Oathgrasp
One of two greatly powerful Throwing Axes, Oathgrasp is everything players will want when choosing this category of ranged weapon. It may be a little tricky to master, often leading the player to miss their shots a few times, but once this has been mastered, Oathgrasp will make them feel almost indestructible.
It can deal around 33 damage and has a fantastic strength scale that is perfect for any build, especially ones that prioritize this stat. Nevertheless, players will need to be Class Five to wield it but will not regret buying it when they can.
5Crystal Daggers
Throwing weapons can be a challenging skill that takes a lot of time to master. Nothing is more frustrating than missing an attack, especially when players knew it was capable of dealing some useful damage to an already suffering enemy. This may be the case for the Crystal Daggers but once the player has got used to this style of gameplay they will be able to fully utilize this force-based weapon.

Any Force builds will need to try these out and will undoubtedly thrive once it’s mastered. This is primarily due to the good Dexterity scaling and the 33 physical and light damage output every time the player hits.
4Chronocraft Arbalest
With a relatively high damage output and a good scaling for players looking to aid their Dexterity build, Chronocraft Arbalest is a powerful crossbow that shows the player means business when getting into a battle.This RPG thrives on power, damage, and picking the right weapon for the right player.
Therefore, if players prefer a heavier crossbow that does good damage but has a relatively slow fire rate then this is ideal. It deals 35.5 fire and physical damage and will require a fair bit of practice to be truly deadly.
3Red And Gold Greatbow
With the Greatbow being a Class five weapon, players will need to manage it well. However, this weapon almost seems to help in that feat and manages to put up an impressive fight against even the toughest of fights. This is primarily due to the damage, scaling, and the notion that it’s imbued with draconic power.
Any archer build will want to give this weapon a try, mainly because it’s one of the easier and more deadly bows inSalt and Sacrifice. It can deal 38 fire and light damage which is aided greatly by the good Dexterity scaling.
2Inphyrean Rod
For fans of both ranged attacks and spell casting, the Inphyrean Rod is arguably one of the best Channeling Rods inthe game. It prides itself on its damage and decent Arcana scaling which is ideal for anyone looking for a magic build that can pack a punch.

It can deal around 43 fire and dark damage to an enemy which is often enough for even the toughest of creatures. Staying out of the way may be a challenge, but this rod should put them down before they have the chance to hit.
1Codex Rod
It’s known that the Codex Maul is one of the most powerful melee weaponsin the game. It’s arguably the best decision for any player looking to do some damage. Therefore, it would only make sense that the Codex Rod would live up to the same title.
Thankfully it seems to. This powerful weapon deals a stunning amount of damage, 48 light and dark to be precise. Even without any Runic Arts, this weapon is capable of sending enemies back where they came from with ease and the safety of distance. Any Arcana builds should try this weapon without question.
