Anyone else hate the bow already?
It can be fun to use but it's seriously annoying because it's practically silent. You can't tell where enemies are shooting from most of the time. I keep hearing arrows fly past me and I've no idea w...

@jokool_aidwhen an enemy fires a gun you can hear where the shots are coming from and see the muzzle flash. You can't see or hear where the arrows are coming from at long distance and at medium range it also takes an extra second to realise what's happening when getting shot at by the bow
I've seen AND heard where the arrows are coming from in my games. You may need to adjust some settings for your TV/monitor & sound, but I know people often have sound issues too so maybe that's what you're experiencing? I haven't died to the bow much cuz once I get hut or hear that 1st * whiff past me I'm on the move. Most of the people who have been using the bow against me can't hit moving targets well it seems lol. It's still a high risk weapon especially if you don't have tempo attached. I think the damage needs to be tweaked a bit that's it.
Its fun to use, but its damage is horribly overtuned. It hits for 70 dmg per arrow and harder than most marksman weapons on headshot, and the arrows move at bullet speed and has the drop off of a sniper weapon all of which just isnt realistically feasible for any bow by any standards. The fact it is a quiet weapon isnt an issue though, since you can still hear where the arrows come from and even the shooter if you are close enough to them.
At the same time it is a marksman weapon so it does take SOME skill to aim and land shots. Its not your simple spray and pray full auto where you can get lucky and unintentionally down someone with it so most average players wont be popping off with it. At higher levels it is broken and can be compared to a kraber in terms of offensve power if you can consistently land headshots. I would not be opposed to putting in the care package as is but if they want it as floor loot, then the bow will need some SERIOUS adjustments.
