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.

I think all that was needed was a stow animation multiplier. Put like 1.5 multiplier on the stow animation of bows and that would've killed the bow swap combo. Or even a handling penalty after firing a bow.

You’re crying right now because you can’t “adapt”.

Go ahead and play bows yourself since you want to be a smart guy.

No thanks. They were cringe before and they’re cringe now. That campy peak shot playstyle is one of the worst in the game. You have unlimited ammo and can sit back and keep players out of fights because you do so much damage with one shot. The only “problem” with bows now is you actually have to aim at the character model to hit it. If you can’t manage to hit your shots, that’s a you-problem. Time to “adapt” lol.

The campy peak shot playstyle is all bows have left now. It wasn’t how I played, I was quite aggressive with my hip fire grip, opening shot Under your skin. But I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to hit two head shots on a moving opponent while I’m trying to dodge my opponents fire. If I take aggressive engagements in this current sandbox, I need 1.7-3.0 seconds to kill peoples that only need 0.7-1.0 seconds to kill me. The nerfs Bungie made to bows nerfed the wrong playstyle and have left the passive, long range playstyle the same as it has ever been.

Yeah agree, they used the wrong nerf hammer for sure. They just decided to make them totally unusable vs addressing the issues it seems.

Exactly
