So, while using crossbow, (if i use my heavy bolts on a single tap basis, it gives a comparatively higher amt of dmg... while if i just let it rip and use the heavy bolts all together, all the bolts deal half the dmg (except the first one)... (but if i keep tapping heavy bolts every singlew time for every single bolt, it give its normal dmg amt...
Is that iintentional? or is that a bug or smthng... i am confused... (and if it is the intended mechanism, smone pls explain why does it get so low after the first bolt)

It is not a bug, it's due to balancing that's how the devs have designed the weapon to work.
If you take into consideration the speed it can do these:
Co-strike counter
Applying debuffs
Dash combo
Armour break potential
On a rapid fire weapon having it do full damage for the full Volley would be too broken.
If you're asking why didn't they just make the entire volley do the same lower damage from start to finish I just think it's to do with user experience to make the weapon feel more impactful.
One more thing I'd like to add after looking at the upgrades the first heavy shot has the same characteristics of Massive Bolts upgrade and they do similar damage and give recoil and knock you back so maybe that also has something to do with design choice.
Fair enough... makes sense...
Thnx for the explanation
