Hand crossbow and Crossbow poison

[ChickenTendieSoup]

As it stands these weapons are negligible at best and more akin to memes than actual use, i think they should be made small slot weapons and considered for dual wield. They may actually see some sort of play and be made somewhat viable.

Agree. The amount of times I've had the jump on people (at close range), shot them just for them to turn and shoot me back makes them pointless compared to other weapons. Deffo should be small slot items. At the moment they're only useful for PvE.

poison is a meme but hand crossbow isnt
Its not meant to be used as a primary at rifle range.
its a shotgun blast slug that one shots people inside buildings.

Disagree. Poison arbalest is now a perfect pve weapon. Useless against players, though. Normal hand arbalest is still one-shoting enemy player on <10 meters distance. Comes with a rifle. Killed a lot of players with it.

They can one shot body shots at close range, silient, and make a great weapon for killing PvE with ammo you can retrieve. I think they are fine. Every weapon doesn't need to me a meta hunter slaying weapon.

The Handcrossbow is still a closerange onshot to the upper body, though i agree about the Poison hand crossbow

[McMurphy]

handcrossbow 14 meter oneshot in the chest worth it!

Outdated weapons

someday the time will come for crossbows.
they buffed small ammo and silenced guns

[x-treme microcephaly gamer]

Small crossbows serve their purpose, they are not really meant for PvP unless your a broke noob

[ChickenTendieSoup]

Im not saying increase the damage or range or anything of the sort, just make them more versatile.

why not make them small slot. it wouldnt change a whole lot

[DUKE HAZA]

Double hand crossbow is viable and great with Bolt Thrower. But poison and or poison and hand crossbow seems meme.

Crossbows are still great though? Aside from the poison one of course, I still use them regularly and to good effect. One of my favourite early-rank loadouts is a springfield compact and a hand-crossbow.

People tend to sleep on the regular hand-crossbow, it's actually a really good weapon that offers a better 1 hit kill range than any of the hand cannon shotguns. Making it a small slot weapon would elevate it to one of the most efficient weapons in the game.

The hand crossbow is nice, it does enough damage for a one shot to the chest and the bleeding damage is really good because it either kills someone who didn't die in one hit to the crossbow or forces them to run off and bandage before they bleed out. It's small size allows you to carry something like a Nagant Precision or a Mosin Obrez for longer range fights.

Poison crossbow is trash tho.
