ranged
Extended across territory
Ranged describes weapons or attacks effective at a distance rather than in close combat: ranged weapons like bows and rifles, ranged attacks in video games.
The term appears almost exclusively in gaming and military contexts.
As the past tense of range, it means varied across a spectrum (prices ranged from ten to fifty dollars) or roamed (cattle ranged across the plains).
