Basically the Bow makes no noise, so the hit is much harder to spot where it is being shot from.
EDIT: It also has no reload.
EDIT 2: also, it seems to be hit-scan when fully charged so no arrow drop. I think there is arrow drop if not fully charged.
EDIT 3: Lordloshbang makes a good point, IMO, about arrow thickness.
@KelRiever The bow is pretty much a hitscan weapon, if you're missing with it then you're hot garbage at the game, especially on console with the auto aim that comes from controller play. The weapon has DPS potential HIGHER than the kraber. Your opinion doesnt matter at that point, the weapon is busted.
I uh, heh...right. Hitscan and auto aim, I kind of have to dismiss this retort.
If you can hit things in the game automatically all the time, you'll win with a P2020
@hayhor They do have auto aim, its not even up for debate, you can name it what you want, aim assist, aim adjustment or w/e. If it moves your camera 90 degrees without touching your stick (which it does) then its automatically aiming. Controller users can cry all they want but they need auto aim to play the game, its just like how controller users cry about not being able to use movement tech when they can, its a joke.
@KelRiever dismiss my "retort" all you want, i stated the facts of the matter and if you want to remain ignorant on the manner than thats on you, the bow is busted and literally anyone can pick it up and instantly kill someone with it with no issues unless they're a literal bot that cant even get a single hit with an automatic weapon against someone who's in their face. Its probably the most accurate weapon hipfire right now, it has the highest DPS, even over the kraber and it has the fastest bullet (arrow) travel. But yeah, proceed to dismiss these things.
@Oyasumlpunpun Sorry, opinions are not facts of the matter.
Here, I'll prove you wrong: You said 'anyone' can pick up the bow and instantly kill someone with it.
So, you can't, if you pick up the bow and never fire it. Or purposely miss every shot.
It's hyperbole but the point is calm the F down, I get your point, I happen to disagree with it. Your point is not facts and neither you or I are ignorant.
My advice, seriously, is if you think it's broke so much then use it. Use it and kill people with it until it is changed. That would certainly make you the better player both in aim, and then being smart enough to use the broke thing until it is changed. I'm just going to dismiss the point not because it's personal to you, it's not you shouldn't take it that way. But dismiss it on my point of view that if you can aim it, and kill people with it, and it's broke, you really should be using it right now since there's very little control anyone here has as to what is in the game. Hopefully, then if I were you, it would be changed. Until then, plink away and listen to your enemies scream about how it was the bow which killed them and not you.
I'm pretty sure as you shoot them through the face with the bow though, you won't be giving the bow all the credit for your kill 🙂
@hayhor Have you ever tested it yourself or are you talking with a lack of knowledge? i've seen it first hand, i've done full on testing with it. The crosshair will follow people without you touching the stick at all, so much so that it moves your camera 90 degrees. This can easily be seen if you hotdrop next to people and the camera chooses to follow those people. It happens on xbox too so no, this cant be blamed on "modders" since those dont exist there. Keep lying yourself about it not existing though.
@KelRiever Everytime i kill someone with the bow i get annoyed at how broken the bow is BECAUSE of how broken it is, i play games to get better at them skill wise and not to use crutches to do so. I really dislike how you can oneshot more than one person with ease in early game with it all while having no repercussions(how fast the arrows are, no reload, how many arrows you can hold and so on). Even if you arent getting headshots, you 3shot people with red armour in a matter of seconds. So no, when i get kills with that weapon i blame the bow for those kills, not my skill. Also, the stuff i stated about the damage being comparable to a kraber and how fast the arrows shoot making it damn near hitscan are not opinions. This is literally how the game mechanics work. To state otherwise is ignorant. Im not trying to attack you by saying so, im stating such because ignoring things that are objective facts only makes the problem with the weapon a bigger issue, one that might not get fixed if treated like it doesnt exist.
