Bow & Arrow

(-0wnage-) #1

Just one of the types of weapons i’d like to see in-game possibly linked to some future merc perhaps. But I think if done correctly it could work pretty well. I’d love to see it implemented though since i’m a fan of B&A. Although I don’t think it would be as efficient and useful in guns fights maybe theres a way around that? Probably having some merc ability which allows a faster firing speed or some auto locking arrows? lol, I just think it would be a more “Fun” weapon to use.

What do y’all think?

the only way it would work is if the B&A would involve an explosive/poison/emp/heartbeat sensor. Simple damage B&A has no place in this game.

I think a crossbow would fit better, esp. wrist-mounted Deus Ex style.

A bow and arrow weapon would be completely inferior to every weapon in the game. It would require a charge up time to knock the arrow and fire, and it wouldn’t hit as hard as anything but a pistol.

To do this, I must become someone else. I must become something else.

Haha exactly! I loved the first few seasons of Arrow but it fell face flat on the last season. But yeah, loved all B&A stuff involved though ^^ I mean, it definitely could work in DB but would just require a bit of studying to balance it out.

Mechanically, I don’t see how it would be any different to Sparks’ REVIVR.

A crossbow could be fun if done correctly. If it did 75 damage per round, was perfectly accurate while moving (but not while jumping), had no zoom at all while ADS, and had to reload after every round, it’d be pretty balanced. Like a close-quarters sniper rifle.
