Crossbow a gimmick?
Is it just me, or is the crossbow just too gimmicky a weapon? Feels like they could have given us a new LMG instead. I think the devs play too much CoD.

@Metal_Daryl97 Sure, but I'd rather have had it later rather than sooner. To me, it's just a niche weapon that won't see much use outside of initial acquisition. Although, I will admit, the explosive bolts are brutal lol
It's fairly functional once you get use to it. Had the best luck with the bolt rack at mid-long range as a faster GVT headshot machine. If you don't miss and it's not a crowd then standard for close. Explosive for catching folks dancing in/out of cover. G57 for close crowds and some luck to survive.
Pretty much dead vs anything with HoF unless you catch them off guard or they're secretly Stormtroopers.

Not gonna lie, that had me dying over here.
Was the Phantom Bow a gimmick? Or indeed getting roadkills with the SUAV? Gas mask kills, Limpeting buildings full of enemies, dropping a vaj (bf5 call in bomb, sorry, we call it that), laying mines on the enemies runway.........
I respectfully disagree. These make the game fun.

- @Prep768 Short answer? Yes. No. No. No. No. No.
Alternate uses and, in the case of the last one, good stategy, doesn't make an item gimmicky. Makes the user creative.
Just because it's a gimmick doesn't imply it isn't fun to use.
