Since Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is all about realistic gameplay, many might wonder if the sequel has a crosshair of sorts or if it sticks to the first game’s roots of letting players figure out how to aim on their own. Well, the answer is the latter, as KCD 2 still doesn’t have a crosshair. However, Warhorse Studios heard the players’ feedback and made firing bows, crossbows, and guns much easier this time around. While you won’t be able to have the comfort of modern FPS games, there are a few things you can do to land those sweet headshots.
How To Shoot With Every Ranged Weapon in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To reiterate, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn’t have a crosshair function. There is one dot that appears on the screen at all times that helps you figure out where Henry is looking. However, once you aim a ranged weapon, it disappears, and you need to figure out where your shots will land. The aiming part will depend on the type of weapon, and I did an image to help you see where your shots will land.
As you can see, the above image shows a bow, a crossbow, and a gun (from left to right). I added the red “X” in the image, which doesn’t appear in the game, by the way. I put it there so you can see where your arrows, bolts, and bullets will hit.
Using this poor blacksmith as an example and looking at the bow, your arrow will usually land wherever the tip of the arrow is aiming. The same applies to the crossbow. You’ll be able to see the bolt’s tip, and it will land in the direction you’re aiming. Guns, however, are a bit different. Since the cannon is bigger, you need to look at where the gun’s barrel is pointing.
Usually, that’s where it will hit. I say usually because, in the case of bows and guns, there’s a lot of swaying, especially in the former. Plus, guns have some recoil, so the shot might go elsewhere if you haven’t leveled up your Marksmanship enough. As a general rule, always try to shoot as fast as possible, regardless of the weapon. Henry will get tired after aiming for a while, and it will affect your shots. So, aim true and let the arrows, bolts, and bullets fly, but don’t dally too much.
