APOC:Potion launchers
Potion launchers were a type of ranged weapon in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[3][4]
- Ships will utilize a larger form of potion launcher in place of canons.[5] These canons will be able to be equipped with different potions that have different effects.[6]
- Fantasy as a genre has been done many many many times and there are many things that we all love about the fantasy genre. We want to make sure that those those staples are catered to, but at the same time we are thinking a little bit outside of the box and some of those thoughts may rear their heads in the coming months for development that you might see.[7] – Steven Sharif

Potion launcher targeting
Potion launchers in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse are able to shoot over walls and other obstacles.[31]
Guns and gunpowder
Gunpowder (black powder) weapons will not be present in Ashes of Creation.[33][34]
- Ships will utilize a larger form of potion launcher in place of canons. These canons will be able to be equipped with different potions that have different effects.[6]
- I previously said there was not going to be gunpowder in Ashes. What there will be is something very similar to gunpowder but has a more arcane nature to it. It's not necessarily going to be explainable through the conventional means of chemistry, metallurgy, and physics and what not, but rather the Essence is the core component of many types of magic, one of which is obviously going to be evocation type magic; and that evocation can have some explosive tendencies.[33] – Steven Sharif
Weaponry such as Potion launchers, Siege weapons and weapons used in Naval combat are based on the arcane arts.[6][33][35]
As we said in the past, were not really about that black powder life. Instead it's really going to be focused on the arcane arts: The elements; the use of radiance and darkness; and then those being employed in larger weaponry, such as the type of siege weaponry between ship battles as well as those and sieges. A potion launcher is an example of the arcane energies that can be mastered in order to facilitate these highly destructive alchemical blends that can be created.[35] – Steven Sharif
Ranged weapons
A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.[13][15][11]
- Characters performing ranged abilities will switch to the ranged weapon, then can switch back to the melee weapon and shield or two-handed melee weapon.[13][15]
- There will be a setting to determine if the ranged weapon or main/offhand is the primary weapon to use for Q or left-mouse-button basic attacks.[13][15]
- Rangers do not have a minimum distance requirement for using their ranged weapons.[37] Previously rangers were intended to have a minimum distance requirement.[38]
- Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.[39]
- Some Ranger skills require a bow to be equipped.[40]
