Dauntless is the free-to-play co-op action game that plays similar to Monster Hunter. It is still in open beta though thankfully the days of its rocky launch has since past.
It is now adding an all-new weapon class and the first ranged weapon in the game, repeaters.
Unlike other weapons, repeaters can mix and match several modular components to make your own personalised gun. Different barrels gives out different elemental properties. What type of chamber you put in determines your skillshot ability. The grip you choose will have different thrown ability and the prism you equip determines your passive bonus.
Despite it being a ranged weapon, you are still incentivised to go in close to the behemoths as it deals more damage up close. Reloading close to behemoths is also rewarded as it will power up your next rounds of shots.
Repeaters will be available on the next patch scheduled to arrive on October 3rd.
