Dexterity is a Core Attribute in New World. Dexterity determines your effectiveness with Ranged Weapons such as Bows and Muskets. Certain one-handed weapons will also scale off of Dexterity slightly, but not as much as they would with Strength. Core Attributes have thresholds every 50 points that grant you different bonuses.
