Bows should get a rework

They feel oppressive in crucible,they do what eriana’s does while using primary,I mean they legit stop gun fights and aren’t really used in pve,they should become special ammo with the same economy as eriana’s,the exotic ones are crazy in pvp and really good in pve,I think it’d be cool to have them get damage buffs in pve and simply have them become special in pvp. They make for very pesky weapons in pvp and good damage weapons for champs in pve,bow switching and teamshooting with them make gunfights impossible unless you’re using special or bows. And if we’re really thinking about it the exotic bows can do some wild stuff,one gives you wallhacks,another can grant a venomous effect and dragonfly by simply landing perfect headshots,heck one of them can make you explode by simply hitting an aimbot arrow and then a regular one,we also have a bow that causes some very strong chain lighting by simply shooting after getting an arc kill. And since we’re getting a bunch of Intrinsic champion mods on them shouldn’t they be brought in line? (Le monarque im looking at you) some of them are getting overload,which stops healing and ability regeneration,it’s bad enough it they take you out of the fight by simply landing a body shot,it’s too much damage which slows down the game too much even if you peek shoot with most weapons if a bow hits you once you’re technically one shot. What I’m trying to say is that they’ve been oppressive in the crucible and their damage is amazing in pve,and since they’re getting champion mods they’ll be even tougher to fight in crucible and they won’t affect pve as much. Anyway I’d love to see any insights you guardians have,make sure to keep things civil,I would genuinely like to read your thoughts on the subject,and bow users please don’t take this personally,it’s just the view of someone who wants to have from fluid primary gunfights.

  • Honestly i think bows would be worse as special weapons in pvp. Not worse to use, but since they would 100% be 1 shot weapons, they would be exponentially more annoying. Hell some bows can still 1 shot headshot with the right rolls, and they would have to have their dmg profiles completely reworked. Also if they become special weapons in pve, they may see practically 0 use due to the fact that they may be competing with the likes of arblist. Personally i find bows extremely annoying to play against, but not really oppressive in the current sandbox. Bungie even outlined in a recent twab that they are going to be ‘adjusting’ bow hotswapping with handcannons so that isn’t as annoying to deal with.
