Bows

Please bring back bows so they’re usable in PVP, really enjoyed playing with them

  • Agreed, bows need a buff in pvp, they are struggling against other weapons in this meta. Against autos, pulses, hand cannon, those TTKs don't give the chance for two headshot.

  • Bungie nuked all bows instead of just adjusting the 3 things that were making bows oppressive. Wish-Ender’s wall hacks are just too strong in 3v3 environment on a peak-oriented weapon. If they dropped the range to 30-ish meters in PvP and used the perk decay they added, it would likely have been fine in the vast majority of matches. Le Mon was by far the highest stated bow. Incredible Accuracy, Stability, and handling. When it was a precision frame, it natively had faster draw time than others. As a Lightweight, it has near double the Accuracy of its piers. A simple reduction to Stability and Handling would’ve put it down a peg to be re-assed later. Bow Swapping was rightfully nerfed. Shouldn’t have been in the game in the first place. One of the biggest hits to why Bows feel terrible right now was the change to Aim Assist bows have significantly lower aim-assist falloff distance than their playstyle dictates. This is even more apparent on console where crits become a 50/50 at 40m even if you’re on target. Bungie took the easy way out instead addressing the problem weapons first.

    I've played enough PVP recently to see some Bow usage back. I will not detail anything other than its exotic-based + buildcraft and that I hope that "this" gets nerfed into PVP oblivion. I hope to see my [b][u]legendary[/u][/b] bows back in use only > yet not considered abusive.. fine with some tuning... ...or would love a weapon specific playlist rotator... (meanwhile they remain totally unused in my vault)

  • No thanks. They require virtually no risk in the hands of a good player. We need less -blam!- like that in PvP. Crucible is in horrible shape right now.

    • Dead archetype because people cant adapt. It’s a shame because bows really are fun to use. People had an issue with the swap combo, the real solution was to nerf the draw speed of bows and hand cannons but nope, bungie cant risk nerfing hand cannons so they just completely nerfed bows instead.

      • Never bring back bows. Nerf them even more just to make bow players mad, please.

        • Ive still been using them since the nerf and have done well. Not to say they are great by any means, but I just am and will always be a bow main. I personally feel like they could use a reduction in their reload animation from 0.5s to 0.3s. Would help the base of the weapon to perform a little better against other archetypes. Now that the damage reduction has killed off bowswapping, it would be nice if they could revert the stow speed nerf from the past year so that I could swap to my shotgun at a similar speed to other weapons too. Gets a bit annoying not being able to swap over in time.

            • There are one or two exotic bows that I have found functional in PvP, but that's just my opinion.
