Far Shot
Far Shot is a keyword that scales the damage of projectile attacks with respect to the distance the projectile has travelled, reducing damage initially then increasing damage after covering a long distance.
It can be found on a modifier on various items as well as an Ascendancy passive skill of the same name. The Far Shot modifier grants Projectile Attack Hits deal 20% less Damage to targets at the start of their movement, dealing up to 60% more Damage to targets as the projectile travels farther.
Monsters also have a variation of Far Shot which scales differently.
Mechanics
The projectile has a maximum damage penalty of 20% less near the start of travel (up to 10 units), then linearly scales to a maximum damage increase of 60% more at 70 units. [1]
It is important to note that damage scaling is done with respect to the total distance the projectile has travelled, not its current distance from the point of origin.[2] If the projectile changes direction—as is the case with Spectral ThrowSpectral ThrowAttack, Projectile

Projectiles that travel in multiple segments (such as Arrow Nova Support) include the payload distance in the damage penalty.[3]

Fork, pierce and chain
A projectile which pierces, chains or forks is still considered the same projectile, and its total travel distance is used.[4]
Point Blank
Point Blank and Far Shot are multiplicative with each other and can make damage more consistent by counteracting each others' damage penalties.
Projectile speed
Projectile speed has no impact on the distances at which Point Blank's multipliers affect damage.
Longshot
Longshot functions similar to Far Shot, but instead offers increased Damage instead of more Damage.
On Enemies
Far Shot is also used as a monster modifier. It is used by Retchs, Maelströms, Voidbearers, as well as some unique monsters.
Presumably, monsters share the same damage mechanics as this keyword.
