Notes[edit]
- Functions as a counterpart to
Tranquility but in contrast to that mutation it only increases damage dealt directly by the player from a ranged attack.
- While Point Blank will not typically buff damage over time effects such as bleed or poison, it will buff these effects if they were applied directly by the player while within Point Blank's activation range regardless of whether or not the attack applying them is ranged.
- This does not apply to status effects that are applied via
Catalyst, 
Open Wounds, or affixes such as Bleed on hit. - Once a status effect is applied under these conditions, it will not lose the added damage from Point Blank even if the player walks far enough away from the afflicted enemy to leave Point Blank's activation range.

- While Point Blank will not typically buff damage over time effects such as bleed or poison, it will buff these effects if they were applied directly by the player while within Point Blank's activation range regardless of whether or not the attack applying them is ranged.
- Works well in tandem with
Infantry Bow, due to its critical requirement and the close range damage overlapping. - Projectiles reflected by items such as shields or
Flashing Fans are affected by the damage bonus from this mutation.
- Interestingly, this is not true for reflected bombs. Even at extremely close range, reflected bombs will not be affected by this mutation's damage bonus.
- Whether or not the damage bonus is applied is based on the player's position when the attack hits an enemy, not when the attack is initially launched. This means it is possible to fire an attack at an enemy from far away but still get the damage bonus from this mutation if you are within range by the time the attack lands.
- The damage applied by
Barbed Tips can be buffed by Point Blank.
Trivia[edit]
- The activation range for this mutation is roughly equivalent to the inner circle of
Lacerating Aura
