archery skill bug

[GunJah]

after ranking up one level in archery, i'm not able to use my compound bow any more. archery skill level stays zero, even if I kill puppets with the wood-bow (which I must use now). I heard there's a similar bug in "driving car skill"?
scum build 0.4.92.26712

If you are under 3.0 in any skill level you won't be able to go above medium skill on that skill branch.

thx for the fast reply.
so are there 2 solutions?

solution 1 is to create a new character, skill up archery that i'm able to use the compound again. from the actual state, my current character will not be able to use any compound bow in the future. also using a toolbox to fit with the character doesn't work.

solution 2 is to get above 3.0 and then it's possible to get from 0 archery skill to >0 and compound bow is accessable again?

Same thing happend to me. After a level up in archery I adjusted the draw weight of my compound bow (using it gave me the level up...). From this point on I wasn't able to use it anymore. Readjusting didn't work. Opening a thread here didn't help or was giving me a useful answer. So I stopped using the bow. After a few days I died. So I got curious. And well, it is a BUG! After respawning I was able to use my compound bow again...

also with my new character. if i reached 100% archery skill, it resets to 0 and stays 0. scum is using 0 skill archery that i'm only able to use a 60 pound bow which btw cannot be hold long with my character. that's crap. other skilled characteristics like "handgun" or "rifles" stays 100% which is correct because my character is not strong enough to go to the next step.
so the bug is that "archery" is reset to 0 and all other like "handgun", "rifles" stays 100%
please fix that issue!
here's a screenshot of the characters skills: {LINK REMOVED}https://snipboard.io/B2bVhU.jpg

i have archery skill basic 3.0 on str and cant use compound bow after adjustment to 70.
So why we cant adjust to lower your setting on compound bow with tool box,
so now i useless bow after getting higher skill, no logic whatsoever.

PLS fix that.

[sQ]

I just have question to devs. Are you guys planning to fix that , coz if not i going to have to create new character.

TX.

[GunJah]

the DEVs think that's not a bug. they didn't saw that archery is 0 after skill ranked up while all other stays at 100%. so they will do nothing. the bug will not get fixed. this is my second character and again, i ran into the same bug as with my first character.
i'll open a new ticket, because this one is marked as solved. so no DEV will take a look into that.

I'm not talking about staying in 0. Problem is that can't use compound bow, after adjustment to 70 , with my archery skill mid, str 3.0 -1%.
My skill level is going up but can't use cb and can't adjust lower after loosing str -1% (2.98 or so)

A little old but I just wanted to add something. I was using a CB with 1.3 and 40 adjusted. I was in a bunker and skill upgraded but from then on even if the CB was 40 I was unable to use it anymore.

I had STR at 1.3 I know you need 3.0 for medium but if that's the case then we shouldn't be able to use the CB under 3.0

Maybe something that needs attention.

[what?]

I'm way late to this thread but there's definitely a bug. I was just using the compound bow with 70# adjustment while at medium archery at 99% progression. The second i shot that last puppet that got me to 100% progression the bow stopped working. I realize I'm 2.5 str so the skill will not advance to advanced until I hit 3.0 str, but that DOES NOT mean I shouldn't be able to draw back the compound bow at 70# adjustment. This is clearly a bug that is hindering the compound bow. Please understand devs, that this should not be happening... admit it's a bug.

[what?]

I'll also add that when I got back to my base I tried adjusting the bow with a toolbox, it went through the adjustment animation but still the bow isn't working.
So the two options are spend time leveling my character on this server until strength is 3.0, OR removing the locks on my base and leaving it vulnerable and deleting/creating a new character with 3.0 strength and booking it back to my base, just to be able to use the compound bow again. Neither of those options should have to be used to be able to draw back the compund bow, which again is adjusted to 70# for my characters current strength. Definitely a bug breaking the compound bows usage.

Almost a year later the problem still is not fixed. This renders archery useless. What a damn stupid bug.

you need a 1 in str for basic
2 for medium
3 for advanced
If you get a disease and it lowers it below those points you drop down

The issue isn't the requirement but the incredible flawed balance of things, allowing higher values at lower base stat.

Say i have Medium archery skill at 2.9 STR, my Compound bow can be set for #75 of tension.
I level up to Advanced skill, and suddenly i cannot maintain #75 of tension anymore, and since the adjustment isn't STR based, I need somebody else with lower Archery skill to adjust my bow.
It really is hilarious, imagine you being in the middle of a Bunker, clearing out Puppets one after another with a bow and the last guy survives because your character is inexplicably unable to tension your bow any longer despite being at full stamina.

Same with driving skill going 155kmh on medium and suddenly not being able to maintain 120 at Advanced due to stat that's been the exact same.

This thread is STILL relevant in 2023.
