Throwing Accuracy affects a soldier's ability to hit their target with a thrown object.
Starting Values
New recruits will always begin with a value between 50 and 80.
Maximum Caps
An X-COM soldier's Throwing Accuracy is capped at 120.
Improvement
Throwing Accuracy is increased by throwing objects. (How obtuse is that?) It can increase up to 6 points in a combat mission, depending on how many times you throw. For more info, see Experience.
Influencing Factors
Throwing Accuracy is also affected by other factors:
- +15% when kneeling.
- -10% per wound to the head or throwing arm.
- -25% x (max health-current health)/max health)
Throwing Distance
While not exactly Throwing Accuracy, this is as a good a place as any for this:
Throwing Distance roughly = 2.5 * Strength / Weight
So, Strength directly affects throwing distance.
The "2.5" appears to vary from ~ 2.1 to 3.3 and/or there is some other variable not yet understood.
Refer to the handy list of Item Weights for weight information.
When weapons are tossed, the weight of the ammo (if loaded) is not counted. (But weight from loaded ammo does otherwise count for weighing down a soldier carrying the weapon.)
