Damage to structures

Aside from shotguns, range does not affect structure damage. [1]

An explosion does the same damage to every object it hit.

Shotguns do less damage as you get further away from a structure. They also do less damage if some pellets miss the structure. The structure damage listed for each shotgun in the tables below are for maximum possible damage.

A weapon does the same damage to every type of structure.
