No one is complaining about the Bow nerf?
I dont see any threads about it. Maybe it isnt enough? 😉

@DarthValtrexThat's true, I haven't used it much and used it for the first time in a match yesterday and got 3 kills with it. Panic shooting with the bow is quite funny. Maybe it should be harder to use but I don't think tracking at a distance is particularly easy but I come from being a bow main on Destiny so..... xD
I'm not too keen on the fatigue idea. Idk how they'd balance it and would each legend really have the same value?
@Lord_Scorpion34I think that's because they're not the easiest thing to see and at some angles I swear you can't even see them sticking out of a wall xD
@Fastrthnwind I think the drop-off should be a lot shorter but I haven't really tested it out completely. I think the damage would've been fine as it was just maybe they should've reduced the fire rate like Darth suggested. As for the ammo side of things I don't really think 14/28 is a lot. I have found that the drop rate is weird tho. I either see tons of bows and arrows or non. I literally crafted all of my arrows in a game and I didn't see any other bow users or arrows until the final 4 squads.
@GH0STEDbyME Fatigue would be some what like the L-star overheating. You get enough shots to kill someone, with a small margin for error. After that the RPM starts to drop off at an ever increasing rate until exhaustion is reached in which the cool down is maxed out. Give the fatigue a cool down period of a few seconds. It would take a lot of work to get the timing right on all of that but it would make the bow fairly difficult to use effectively while still keeping it as a high impact weapon when used correctly.
That could be used to lower the DPS of the weapon without impacting the uniqueness of it. If they make the velocity similar to the sentinel or wingman, what's the point of the bow? It's quiter? That's not a big deal.
I'm just trying to think of ways to adjust the bow without impacting the uniqueness of the weapon.

One thing that needs to be added/fixed - there's no audible warning you can give if arrows are whistling past you unless you're on mike. As soon as someone starts the firing bullets most of the legends complain of being shot, but arrow near misses illicit nothing. There should be a warning, a la Mirage "Hey guys! Some [redacted] with a bocek is firing pointy sticks at me!"
- @EdwardDLuffy Indeed, probably an oversight from the team. It doesn’t even have to be a specific bocek callout. It can just be that someone’s shooting at you cause if they have at least 3 braincells they should know, it’s from a bow.
Does wraith even get a warning that someone’s aiming at her with a bow since the callout isn’t even done?
