Bows in Destiny 2

A friend and I had a pretty cool idea, we thought that it would be really cool if bows were incorporated as usable/equip able weapons in the next installment of Destiny. Since in the first Destiny during the era of TTK, the idea of bows was brought to our attention, they were never really expanded upon. We saw great potential in the bow. We thought that a weapon like the bow could be incorporated very familiarly to how the sword was introduced. The sword is a weapon of elegance as well as the bow, the story potential of a bow is astounding. Think of the cool exotic powers a bow could poses. Think of the cool abilities that our new guardians could harness to defeat new hordes of foes. I advise that you take inspiration from the bows that are included in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 dlc, Awakening. They were extremely well designed and had very cool and unique abilities for each of the games four elements. Those being arc, ice, void, and solar. As you can clearly see, putting bows in the game would not only make it more interesting, but it would really show off the creative power of Bungie. Thanks for your time, sincerely, JS RIDER327

  • I actually thought long and hard about the system of how one would work. And feel that bungie might be setting us up for that using the grenade launcher system. I imagine it having a strange cone system. The farther out it goes, the more it slows down and the less accurate it is, but the precision damage is magnificent. However the closer it is, the faster and more accurate the shot but it takes more shots to the head to kill. Making mid to scout range optimal with two shots to the head to kill to make up for the slow ttk. You can draw and hold your shot for about six seconds before losing accuracy due to shake. But for a five second draw hold you get very accurate shots from longer distances. And as for the naysayers. Hunters and gun nuts now use bows. The technology is growing and expanding from high performing strings to arrows. Id imagine in the future the arrowhead and materials would utilize a mixture of strong materials and things to hack shielding. Farcry recurve gameplay will tell you all you need to. This weapon could -blam!-ing work, bro.

    Bows were brought up in Vanilla. NegativeNancies said, "but it's the future, how the hell are we gonna be flying around in space but use a bow and arrow" 🙄 I for one love bows and would love some sort of futuristic bow brought into the game to be equipped as a weapon. But please don't bring up anything from CoD. The company that has been beating that dead horse for the last couple of crap titles needed to be severed from Destiny.
