Crossbows got Nerfed?

[Ragosta tin Dei]

Saw a meme where death came for the railgun, the slugger, eruptor and for some reason, the crossbow. I wasn't even aware crossbows got nerfed.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Honestly, your guess is as good as ours. Barely anyone used it.

Before it was not good, but at least the AoE killed some trash minions. They have removed the AoE. And still is not very good against mid enemies, the rol they wanted to fill with it.

Dont know why. Maybe they try to make it looks like they dont nerf only things we okay with?

i am surprised that they havent nerfed any secondary weapons yet XD

Felt like it got a buff. Could be wrong but it felt like the arrow traveled faster with a lot less drop. The aoe seemed a lot weaker.

i just use crossbow as trivia, and yes it is nerfed, devs are just filling their deskjob "live-service for 12 months", they not even aware of that weapon isn't high pick rate.

as trivia as "this weapon shall fill in my against heavy and or armored enemies", in the mean time i use STALWART MG as main (and obviously this mg need backpack no matter how much trigger dicipline).

They did, actually. The redeemer got a slight nerf to its recoil.

they dont nerf op weapons just weapons people end up using even if the weapon is bad.

This is the reason it is generally considered a nerf by those who used it prior to the change. There's also a slightly minor issue with the change in projectile angle that makes the bolt more likely to skip across the ground rather than explode on impact, further reducing its efficacy against swarms.

They should put ammunition choice for the crossbow so we could choose which ammo take.

Devs ruined the entire explosive battle pass

Ehhh, not so much. At least not until they remove the grenade pistol's ability to destroy fab/holes.
