@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 🙂
