How do you aim with the crossbow?
I feel extremely stupid as I can hit with a bow but constantly failing with the crossbow. Putting a laser on it is useless since the BIG round thing (have no idea what it´s called) blocks the laser, I feel like I have to guess where the shot will land. Tried to use that round thing as a sort of sight but that aint working.

Is it the big round thing blocking my view? :-) I can´t see through it.

Get rid of the laser (the round thing blocking your view). You'll then see a little M like figure which shows you where you are aiming your arrows (iron sights).

Why? It has an iron sight - worked for me so far.

yeah the falloff is ridiculous (like 5 meters max) and you have to point it where the front completely blocks the view of target to actually hit it. Bad design

I went back in the game to take a screenshot to prove my point, I then realised what you just wrote, that it was the laser sight being rather useless ... and blocking my view. I took it off ...

I know nothing about weapons .... feel kinda dumb .... but it works now.

It's all good, the devs don't know ♥♥♥♥ about weapons either lmao. Look at how they designed the use of laser sights :steamfacepalm:

Wow I had no idea any attachments could go on the crossbow. Good to know it's also placed in a completely useless spot

Why do the devs hate Iron sights?

It's not even an iron sight. It's a rail, made for sights/scopes and attachments.

Hopefully they will patch it to put The rail on the side or on the bottom side instead. The only thing you would put on top is a scope to look down, while lasers and flashlights are usually on the side or bottom rails of a weapon.

Is it also a thing with graphics settings? Like if they want the laser sight or flashlight on the top, at least have the camera zoom in past it when you hold right trigger to aim. (Like other FPS where you zoom into the actual scope rather than real life iron sight)
