Tranq darts? maybe a blowgun?

Yeah, I think they might be trying to give early level players the ability to have range tranq before the arrows and narq. I would bet they are flint, thatch and narco berries to craft.

Tranq darts are fired from the Machined Sniper Rifle they're adding. The tranq darts are intended to be an even more potent form of the narc arrow.

Oh, interesting... do you know what rifle ammo its going to use? Advanced?

Did the server get patched yet?

I am at work so I don't know for sure.

They are usually late on pushing the actual patch.

This thread says "1pm est"... so 30 minutes ago....
