Ghostmaker R10 lover here, glad to find some friends !
I've played a lot with it it's my Top 1 weapon with Mastery 101.
My opinion on this weapon, it is really powerfull and it's problem is more in the reload animation. Standar and explo bolts are deadly and don't need a buff in my opinion, while the 3rd option (Bolt rack ammo type) is useless (should give ability to shoot twice as fast to be reliable with such stats). Maybe Dice could do something for the rack ammo and give some love here.
On the "reloading" point, i feel like there is a small difference between the visual reload animation and the effective reload time. In far too many occasions, after a reload i switched to a secondary or thrawn a grenade... and saw the empty crossbow restart the whole reload animation. I never encounter this with any other weapon in the game.
Can someone at Dice check if the visual animation really match with the reload timer? For me it looks like the visual animation is a little shorter and the relaod timer should be adjusted...
On another hand there is also the amunition problem, reloading 2arrows at a time is a little short... i would like to see it goes to 3 or maybe 4.
I really enjoye the crossbow but everytime i play it i encounter difficulties with multiple reload animations for one bolt... not with it's power.
