Mastering the ranged combat in the game will be very important to your survival, whether you are using the bows, the Blastslings, Spike Throwers, and more. However, to make your time easier and to enable better aiming, Concentration Mode will help tremendously in two ways.

The first is that it slows down time, allowing for the perfect shot to be lined up. Secondly, it will zoom in further than usual, giving you more flexibility in aiming your shot. That could mean tearing down an important component, or landing that fatal headshot on the human enemies.
