Longbow Firerate
The Longbow buff was definitely needed for the damage consistency but now it shoots way too fast for how much damage it does. Fully kitted it can shoot almost as fast as the wingman but does 10 more ...
The longbow is currently in a really good spot.
I don't know if it would be worth it nerf the fire rate as it isn't used that much and is less forgiving than other guns.
which makes that it's a situation bound weapon and not a go to weapon.
Not sure what game you are playing but I tun into a longbow with almost every squad i fight now. It's almost got the same fire rate as the wingman with better range and a bigger mag. It can 2 shot with headshots and 3 with body on level 1 shield. I would rather pick up a longbow over a wingman any day. It's better than the triple take as it hits for more consistent damage. Since it's buff I see it as a regular weapon. Add the thermal site onto it and you've got the best medium to long pressure/enemy detection in the game.
