Gear slots

Alpha-2 Fighter character sheet UI.^[5]

We wanted to create something that would handle a couple of different roles, with obviously your equipment slots for what we call a "paper doll", which is that display of your character. Eventually it won't just be a image of your character, we hope to have the 3D character and be able to rotate around, look at what you're wearing. And then we wanted to support a couple of different features here, with some base stats; the equipment, which will show what equipment you have available to quick swap, so you don't have to have your inventory and the screen open; detailed stats for those people who want to get into all of the details; and then of course gear sets. So this is going to be able to swap to your sets of gear quickly; and being able to save different loadouts.^[6] – Colby Marchi

Ranged weapons

Alpha-2 bows 3D renders.^[1]

A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.^[12]^[14]^[10]

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.^[12]^[14]
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.^[12]^[14]
Rangers do not have a minimum distance requirement for using their ranged weapons.^[30] Previously rangers were intended to have a minimum distance requirement.^[31]
- Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.^[32]
Some Ranger skills require a bow to be equipped.^[33]
