Compound bow vs Crossbow

[CrspyToast]

Soo which one is better?

anyways, back on topic lol. honestly dmg stats aside i still prefer the crossbow over a compound, however i suppose it makes no difference really when taking down a big dino

also i'm curious are we talking in a PVP or PVE set up?

Both i guess

Compound is better for killing things, but xbow is better for taming. Also, xbow is the only weapon that can fire underwater, and so is best underwater for both.

exactly my point lol. i play PVE so its ovbious why i prefer the crossbow

its only downfall is no metal arrows

For PvE I would gladly use a Crossbow. Underwater, grappling hook, underwater grappling hook, tranqs, etc. For PvP I would use a Crossbow. Does more damage with stone arrows than the Compound bow does. Metal arrows need Poly and CP anyway, so those are just about worthless when balancing cost to benefits in PvP.

take away the grappling hook and use underwater, just the plain arrows, crossbow with default arrows, and compound with metal

The metal arrows are the compound bows big deal, they not only do more damage than stone arrows but pierce armor aswell.

For tranqing xbow is always better, for damage it depends on stats of weapons AND targets armor, but generally the compound will be far ahead unless the target has no armor at all.
