There is no ranged on DnA anymore, it was removed as part of the specials revamp.

If you find an old pet deed with ranged on it you can sample it then use it to make a new pet. Only use one sample per combinewith ranged - I have success putting it in the psych slot.

I also have a ton of old deeds with ranged. Muhahaha!!!!

Ranged doesn't work. I had some old dna samples with ranged on them, made a pet with ranged attack, and gave it to a CH alt. Pet still closes to melee range and attacks.

ok ty for clearing that up.. neone else have any more ideas on when ranged is going to work again.. or how to get it working??

As amaster creature handler, you get the option to teach your pets to use their ranged attack... IF the pet has a ranged attack. So insteadof just teaching your pet to attack, there is another command to tell it to attack with its range attack. I wondered about this new command when I became a MCH untill I tamed a blurrg and was able to teach it to attack with range.

Of course, that is in regards to wild creatures, not bio-engineered ones, as I havn't made one since I've been back in the galaxies the last 2 months.

It very likely isn't coming back, as far as i know it was taken out of the system to bring the new specials into line, you may see it appear as one of the trainable specials instead, but i doubt it will ever be put back into DnA for us.

Well I hope it does come back as mamny wilds still have ranged attacks, like the CuPa. If and pet has the ability in the wild and you tame it it still retains the ability so we <BioE's> should be able to craft it back into them. It would also be nice to see posion, disease, and AOE returned to us as abilites we can craft into a pet. Best of all I STILL WANT FRIGIN LASER BEAMS OUT OF MY RANCORS EYES!!!!!

I have got ranged DNA post-CU and have crafted ranged pets with it. At least so the deeds say. Tamed them, trained with the ranged attack command - it doesnt work. I get message that ranged attack is switched on, but pets go melee. Ranged is broken as far as I know for all pets, though a wild pet which has ranged will continue to use it naturally, without command.

Was this DnA you got just right after CU came out? Because Ranged wasn't remioved at CU, it was removed a couple of patches later.
