Copperstrike Longshot

Quickstart

1. Craft Copperstrike Bullets at a crafting table using iron and copper ingots — you get 6 per craft.
2. Craft the Copperstrike Longshot at a crafting table using copper ingots, iron ingots, sticks, and a spyglass.
3. Hold the rifle in your hand. The magazine starts empty, so walk near a crafting table and make sure bullets are in your inventory — the rifle will automatically reload (consuming up to 6 bullets) when you try to fire.
4. Hold the Use button (right-click / hold screen) to look through the scope. Your movement slows while scoped.
5. Release the Use button to fire. The shot only triggers on release, not while holding.
6. Aim for the head for an instant kill, or land a body shot for ~50% of the target's max health.

Overview

Copperstrike Longshot adds a rare, enchantment-glinting black sniper rifle with a suppressor, extended stock, and 6-round detachable magazine. It fires custom Copperstrike Bullets — special ammo you craft yourself from iron and copper. The rifle features a spyglass-style scoped aiming mode and punishing hit detection that rewards precision.

How To Use

Loading

New rifles start with an empty magazine. Keep Copperstrike Bullets anywhere in your inventory. When you attempt to fire, the rifle automatically reloads — consuming up to 6 bullets to fill the magazine. If you have no bullets, the rifle will not reload or fire.

Scoped Aiming

• Hold Use → enters scoped view (spyglass animation). Your movement speed is heavily reduced while scoped.
• Release Use → fires one bullet in the exact direction you are aiming.

The rifle only fires on release. Holding the button is purely for aiming.

Fire Rate

There is a ~1.8-second cooldown between shots.

Abilities And Mechanics

Hit Detection

Every shot checks where the bullet strikes relative to the target's height:

Your action bar always shows your current magazine count after firing: [Copperstrike] Bullets: X/6.

Enchanting

The Copperstrike Longshot can be enchanted at an enchanting table or anvil using sword-type enchantments.

Progression And Strategy

• Ammo management is key. Each crafting recipe yields exactly 6 bullets — one full magazine. Stock up before heading into combat.
• Always scope before shooting. Releasing without scoping still fires, but scoping ensures your aim is aligned precisely with your view direction.
• Prioritize headshots. A well-placed headshot eliminates any mob or player instantly regardless of health pool, while a body shot on a high-health target may leave them alive.
• Repair with common materials. Copper and iron ingots are easy to farm, keeping your rifle in service for long adventures.
• Enchant for survivability. Because you must stand still and slow down to aim, enchantments that improve melee fallback (Knockback, Fire Aspect) can help when enemies close the gap.
