What crossbow is better?

[BreEZe]

I dont know what crossbow to get. Both the ten point and the reverse draw look good. Are there any major differences? I need something reliable and good for any hunt. Which one should I get?

[Harkon[DGA]]

ten point has a bit less range and power , but the scope/sight is much more user friendly

[Zig-Zag-Man]

i like the tenpoint but everyone is going to have thier own opinion

Tenpoint better IMHO as the scope on the reverse draw is really poor - it gives virtually no zoom, and I find the iron sights hard to use.

How about the noise, wich one is quieter?

Tenpoint, no matter what.

yeah ,devs can realy have another look at that scope ,cz its just anoying ,it also feels like the iron sights have more zoom than with the scope on

Haddock - my thoughts are the same.


And the Carbon just... looks like a proper crossbow should.

Just out of interest from any real crossbow shooters/hunters out there.... in the real world what scope options do you have? Ie could you mount a 12 x 50mm if you wanted to?

The ten point is my favorite weapon in the entire game. I can do reliable 60m shots with the tenpoint, and reliable shots at 72m with the reverse draw. That 12m difference isn't a big deal.

For anybody who's still cosindering buying a crossbow and don't know the differences between the two, here's a video of Hawkeye who summed it up nicely. Watch it till the end to also see the important comparison between the different iron and scope sights (with the reverse draw having really weired zoom factors, in fact iron sight has a bigger zoom than the crossbow's 2x scope): https://youtu.be/ck2piy7hupw

His mic is a bit rumbling at the beginning, but it gets better over the course of the vid. The only thing nobody can really demonstrate is the spook/noise-factor, since it depends on many more factors than just a noise the player can hear (in fact it doesn't depend on the audible noise at all, which is only an audio file, but how the mechanic of the object is coded).

The shop however says unfortunately nothing about the silence-category the two were in, so just grab the one you like better, techniqually, for it's at least as silent as the strongest bow, the Snakebite, which I use most of the time and with great success without spooking anything but wolves/coyotes, they seem to hear everything. I can even cull two lynxes one approaching right after the other if I hit the first one right. With a Snakebite.

Furthermore the Tenpoint is advertised with 345 fps ... aka 105 m/s (to normal people who don't measure things still in human body parts. Arrg!) ... Reverse draw...? Nothing, but most likely faster, like 385 or even 400+ fps if the game simulated real life data correctly. 105 metres per second? Should do the job. You'll most likely not exceed this distance, you'd rather shoot at 20 to 60 m. So, this means the bolt hits the game within the fraction of a second at normal bow distances. No escape.

Oh yea I ended up getting the reverse draw crossbow. Best decision of my life.
