Long Range
Deal additional Weapon Damage when beyond a minimum distance from your target.
Passive — works automatically once bought.
Long Range is a Tier 2 weapon item that pumps your gun damage as long as you're shooting from beyond a minimum distance — the exact mirror of Close Quarters. It's a core buy for snipers and backline gunners who win by keeping the gap open, and it does nothing the moment an enemy dives onto you. Picked up early it builds into Sharpshooter, so the slot keeps scaling.
When to buy
Buy it on heroes whose whole gameplan is fighting from range: Vindicta, Grey Talon, Mirage, Paradox, Seven. The bonus only switches on once you're past the minimum distance, so it rewards exactly the spacing those heroes already want to hold. At 1600 souls it's a clean weapon spike for a backline gun, and since it feeds into Sharpshooter the slot never goes dead. Skip it entirely on brawlers and dive heroes — Abrams, Lash, close-range Haze — because the second you're in someone's face the bonus turns off, and Close Quarters does the opposite job better.
Is Long Range worth it?
On range-dependent gunners like Vindicta, Mirage, Paradox or Grey Talon, yes — it's a cheap weapon spike that matches the spacing they already hold, and it builds into Sharpshooter. On brawlers and dive heroes it's a dead slot; buy Close Quarters instead. It's a specialist pick, not a generically strong stat stick.
Long Range or Close Quarters?
They're mirror items: Long Range pays out when you fight far, Close Quarters when you fight up close. Pick the one that matches where your hero actually deals its damage, and never run both — at any given range one of them is doing nothing.
