Swap the bow with triple take
The Bow is absolutly insane its ruining the game for me entirely it just does far to much damage and shoots far to quickly, how it got through QA I will never know. I never understood triple take g...

I find it pretty hard to hit moving targets using bows. Unless you run in a straight line, even two archers can not easily knock you down. Whereas one macro and rapidfire Scout can easily knock you down within 2 seconds.
The Volt also got a lot of complaints when it was introduced into the game. But nowadays nobody talks about it any more.
@DeathRaven_1983 I’m not gonna lie I find the bow hard to use too but then you watch streamers like backoffmyjankz hitting for headshots repeatedly and at the very least it needs majorly nerfed... its basically a silent kraber as ground loot
@TheApexLegendNub He's playing pub. We all know that SBMM in pub is broken. I always get matched with low-levels while against premade squads with 20 bomb and 4k badges, which is why I only play ranked now. It’s safe to say that most of his kills are against low-levels.
So what you really should complain about is SBMM.
@DeathRaven_1983 SBMM is another thing needed to be looked at, yes, but stating the bow is fine because it is only OP against lesser skilled players is just plainly wrong.
The Bow outclasses every single Sniper in the game, apart from the one-shot potential one could even argue the Kraber could be redundant. Even on short range the bow is a sufficient shotgun having this much damage without any real hip-spread while moving.
You can do all scenarios with just one weapon, without major or even any drawbacks (even though one draws back arrows.... huehue).
I am basically waiting for "pred with only bow"-challenges.
Another perk from the bow (no need to state out every screw to balance a weapon and say the bow has it turned to high to max), which is often overlooked: Because humans react to the loudest sound by instinct, returning fire with anything other than a bow to a bow-user instantly focuses all attention on you, giving the bow a massive advantage in playing defensively over every other gun in this game right now. Apart from the massive offensive power it brings.
There is simply no way to put the bow anywhere other than on the top of all weapons, with a really big distance to the second place, sorry.
BTT: I stated in a different post trading Bow and TT would be an easy and fix hotfix to get things sorted out a bit, so I very much like this idea 🙂
- @Laminiae lol. In no way the bow outclasses sniper rifles. The sniper rifle is a long range weapon, while you can hardly see mid-range targets with the 3x optics, which is the optic with highest magnification. Let alone hitting them.
And shotguns beats the bow hands down. The bow fires one projectile at a time, while shotgun fires at least 6. I’ve never seen a player using arrows in face to face fights in ranked.
Also, if you can’t hear where the arrows come 5 days into the season, you should buy yourself better headphones.
