It is? Seems to work quite well when I get a hankerin' for a hunk o' fuzzy tree rat or a taste for some Thumper to go with my Bambi.

For anything else, yeah, it's not really meant to be anything more than an annoyance, which is exactly what I use it for... for example:

Not far from my current forward operations base, there is a very large cannibal camp. Interestingly enough, the cannibals generally leave me alone, but Meat-Slinkies, and Wonder-Twins love to harass me. I will use the slingshot to plink a slinky and lure it over to the cannibal camp, where it immediately loses interest in me and takes to slaughtering the camp. Usually by the time the camp is down to a leader and maybe his #2, they manage to put down the slinky, and don't seem to care that I creep up and peel it like a banana.

The same is true if I lure a Wonder-Twins over, but they're considerably faster and more agile, so plinking and sneaking is quite a bit more difficult, and it seems one of the two likes to argue with the other about which way to go, so they tend to get tangled up on themselves before finally bolting on a tangent, but these are really good at dispatching cannibals leaders, and less effective against regular cannibals.

Again, neither the leaders nor the rank-and-file regulars seem to mind me peeling Wonder-Twins either.

I enjoy pissing them off by plinking them on the Noggin with a pebble, sometimes I even get an ending kill shot in with the slingshot :steamthumbsup:

The sling shot is the perfect tool for bullying the Muddies. Another hilarious instance is when the cannibals perch on a rock to look at you. Give'em a vibe check with a rock to the face.

Did you know you can throw the rocks without the slingshot? It’s low damage but I’ve actually killed many enemies this way when running out of ranger items😂
