Red chinchompa

Red chinchompas are multi-target stackable Ranged weapons requiring level 55 to use. Red chinchompas can be obtained by box trapping carnivorous chinchompas in the Feldip Hills. This requires 63 Hunter, and will give the player 265 Hunter experience per catch. To use chinchompas in combat, they must be wielded in the weapons slot. The red chinchompa's are thrown like darts or throwing knives however, it explodes on impact. They can hit up to 9 targets in a 3x3 area. They cannot be picked up again from the ground after being thrown and ava's accumulator does not return them.

Using red chinchompas is widely regarded as the fastest way to train Ranged and Constitution; however, this method is very costly. Catching red chinchompas is also popular among high-level Hunters as it gives fast experience, and is profitable.

There are three attack styles, short, medium and long fuse. Medium has the attacking speed of "rapid" and is faster than short and long fuse. The speed of red chinchompas is the same as a shortbow.

Note: if a player dies with red chinchompas in their inventory or equipped, the chinchompas will disappear and cannot be retrieved.

Chinchompa Scam
Be warned of players who try to trick you into luring you into the wilderness with 3 valuable items. They will give you a chinchompa to wield. One of the players will attack you causing you to retaliate with your chinchompa. The chinchompa will hit the other player too, not just the one who is attacking you. Although you are not clicking the 'attack' button, you still attack the other player and therefore get skulled. If anyone offers you a chinchompa in the wilderness and tells you to wield it, do not wield it. Report both players for item scamming, and run / teleport away.

Trivia

 * Shortly after the release of Hunter, grey chinchompas and red chinchompas had the same Ranged attack bonus. Red chimchompas were not used by many players until they were given a higher bonus.
 * On 19 July 2010 the explosion animation of chinchompas was updated. It now uses particle effects and Red chinchompa new.jpgbles the fireball from a fire spell.
