Apex News: Compbound-bow as floor loot spotted??

Before we head to the news that we got I want to talk about volt SMG and about these new changes that might change

Data miner Shrug give some kind of explanation about what expect to happen to the volt SMG:

"I had originally theorized that Volt would go to the care package and the Devotion would return to the floor (for Rampart passive). Mainly because it's hitscan in TF2, which means it either needs to be nerfed and still compete with other SMG or go to CP."

"However, they don't mention anything about Care Package on the page. So if it isn't, they would need to replace the Devotion with one of it's SMG competitors, namely the Prowler or the R99. Otherwise it might just end up being a worse/strictly better Havoc/Prowler/R99."

So let's get to the teaser that has dropped for pretty long.

Look at the pics that I posted (:

I don't want to post the ammo type pic but If everyone want I can sent it as private message

This is why I want the Supressor as a barrel mod.

@BigBlackCaustic Yeah, draw time and notching an arrow would essentially make it behave like a bolt action mechanics wise, you'd obviously have more fall to contend with too so it would be quite easily balanced.
@ExpertEpic99 a lot of people have requested the gold barrels secondary function be a silencer but respawn don't seem interested. ☹️

@MandatoryIDtag I would simply have a mechanic like many bows have that increases the speed and damage the arrow as you pull it back, and let people release it early. Just to make it feel more like a bow and increase the skill cap. A bow should be high skill/high reward, no doubt.
