If CCP adds a new weapon it should be a compound bow. It should be a one shot kill to the torso or head but it would also have limiting factors, such as:
An arc that takes affect after about 100 feet,
Pulling back and holding the bow should wear down on the player's stamina until they let it go,
Should have a scope less than the sniper and more than the AR, with a slight wobble,
Should be inaccurate when fired from the hip
But there may be skills that minimize the above limitations.
I just thought that would be a great addition to the dust arsenal.

A bow wouldn't really fit IMO...just because every game and their mothers now have bows doesn't make it essential for the few games that don't have one... |

Here's a previous discussion:

Basically, my argument is that a bow doesn't make sense when you can get a more advanced weapon that does everything a bow does, but better.
As for a crossbow that does 100 damage: You wouldn't kill anybody with it and it would take like 10 seconds to reload. Why wouldn't you just use a scrambler pistol? |

Even the most modern and high tech bows today are still way behind in power and accuracy compared to firearms. The guns we have are even more advanced than anything we have on Earth right now also. I don't see why anyone can make a bow, when they can propel the projectile from some kind of gun instead because of the power, accuracy, and advantages like not having to reload after one shot.
An arrow would not be able to do a 1 hit kill on people wearing dropsuits since we can survive magnetically propelled railgun sniper shots, close to a dozen burning plasma assault rifle shots, etc. To suggest an arrow could 1-hit kill what a insanely more powerful railgun cannot is ludicrous. Even if the arrow is stuffed full of high tech stuff, and explosive rounds, it would still be a waste to fire it with an arrow, and not a gun. |

I'm all for that, go make a thread about it. |

on the new weapons note id like to see a Mortar style weapon (carried by heavies)
similar to the mass driver but more aoe splash dmg higher arc due to it having being placed on the ground to be fired
portable artillery style works in conjunction with a target painter to fire over buildings and terrain
just a thought |
