Crossbow:
Rate of Fire:
This gun will have extremely low rates of fire to compensate for the high impact of each arrow.
Impact:
This gun will have the highest rate of impact of any gun in the game, even higher than hand cannons.
Reload:
These guns have moderate reloads. The arrows are stored in a drum that rotates as each arrow is fired. During reload, the drum is removed, a new one is placed in the slot, and a small switch is pulled back.
Magazine:
Mags range in size from three to five.
Stability:
These guns are very accurate, since the arrows are propelled by motors, not explosions.
Damage Types:
Crossbows deal all types of damage. Kinetic damage models shoot arrows. Elemental models fire narrow shards of the element.
Exotics:
Hand of Zeus. [i]"All who look upon you will burn." [/i] This arc dealing crossbow has relatively low impact for a crossbow, however it is full auto, the only crossbow with this mod. It has a magazine of four to avoid dealing extreme damage in a short amount of time. It's final mod is "The All Seeing Eye". All enemies are outlined in blue. Enemies are even visible through walls when equipped.
Beowulf's Wrath. [i]"Beowulf slayed a dragon, but was slain himself. Perhaps you will do better."- Lord Saladin[/i]. A solar dealing crossbow with a magazine of three. It has relatively high impact. It's final mod is "Beowulf's Wrath". One random arrow in each magazine will ignite enemies. (This exotic would be available through a crucible bounty centered around Lord Saladin.)
The Leviathan. [i]"Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him."- Psalm 18:8[/i]. This kinetic damage dealing crossbow fills the primary weapon slot. It has a magazine of 5, and deals damage just barely higher than that if a hand cannon. This weapon's final mod is "The Tempest". One random arrow disorients enemies for 1 second.

3 RepliesEdited by db0ssman: 1/28/2015 3:52:29 PMHow much ammo would you have in reserve? If you want to see how this would work in the game, use NLB for a little while. That is a very slow firing primary with much higher damage then any other primary type. Edit: I just saw that you were saying it was a special in the topic. I got confused because you were comparing it to hand cannons. Keep in mind that impact works along side a hidden damage multiplier for each gun type. Very high impact with a low multiplier leads to not that much damage.
