Make sure you have it in your hands and then press f to enter aim mode, then select your target and hit enter to fire your weapon.

But don’t fire your weapon. It’ll make noise, and unless you’re fending off an army of robots, shoggoths, brutes, hulks, or Jabberwocks, it’s not worth it.

Best start off with some kind of silenced weapon, like a bow or sling.

Have a weapon wielded and press f to enter in firing mode. Now, you can either select an enemy would you like to shoot at or select an enemy and press \* to snap to this target.

By the way - don’t waste ammo. Although spawning in 0xA is quite strange, even though it’s not worth to shoot every usual zombie.
