I‘d personally love to see a bow / crossbow in the game, ir they are in a game they are generally my favourite weapons… I understand it could be difficult to introduce and balance a whole new weapon class, but nehertheless I thought I‘d post it here. I would be so happy to have them in the game!

i mean… it’d be a funny recon gimmick.

#

We already have pickaxes and sledgehammers, might aswell give recon a funny gimmick weapon.

#

Lord knows sniper rifles aren’t supposed to be fun anymore.

I thought of it more as a primary, the bow probably like a different DMR of sorts, the crossbow similar but with slightly better range, but longer reload ofc (so basically the bolt-action)… something with a ton of bullet (or rather arrow) drop, not a lot of armor penetration (heavy armour will significantly reduce damage?), and a high damage value up close (looses damage quickly on range though)

Yes

#

You can treat bows in 3 manners if you decide to add all 3 that is

#

Recurve, compound and crossbow

#

I recommend only 2 for modern sake as compound and cross are still well modern

#

They can easily be balanced with fast drop offs and low velocity while giving them sniper like damage (probably let them do more against body but ya know)

#

I think they would be hella fun

#

And a massive W

#

Anyone who down votes is just a hater or got shit on by some swear in CoD with a obsidian crossbow

#

Yes.
Default arrow like one-shoot pistol with parabollic trace
Explosive arrows to destroy walls on distance

#

ppl could try to use explosive arrows as grenade launcher, and battlefield make it enough clever, explosive arrow does almost no damage to persons/vehicles in area, but destroys walls like small rpg

proud viper
#

As a crossbow would be a primary

glad rampart
#

yes, in battlefield ppl doesnt use that arrows. but somebody... guess maybe i'm... should be support, that clear any walls and then... accidentally... we start to win

#

crossbow as primary... hmm... not sure. very weak vs any auto-rifle

#

A gimmick of these weapons could be having them work better against armor, since that makes some sense irl. More meme weapons would be fun

#

Throwing knives are a personal fave of mine

Flashbang Crossbow bolt.

#

could do what bf4 did and add different bolts, like gas, bullet point and broadhead

btw gas/flame GRANATE is a good idea forces enemies to change position, like HE does but delayed by time

#

Having a gun that one taps to the body but has to reload after each shot could be cool, aside from that it doesn’t fit the game whatsoever

proud viper
#

A crossbow could still work as they a r popular and a lot more balanced

#

As it requires a we bit of skill to be able to hit a slower projectile with super fast fall

#

Also using a meme game as a reference isn’t a good talking point

Its entire point is dumb fun stuff isn’t balanced as it’s a meme game lol

#

But most people agree it would be better without one taps. Not because they’re good but because they’re unreliable and unsatisfying to die to

What’s that even supposed to mean

#

Sounds like how people call this game a Roblox shooter to discredit random things related to it

proud viper
#

I’d never disrespect Roblox like that
