Bow absolutely useless in PvP
The bow desperately needs to be buffed in PvP. Right now, it's absolutely useless. Even with perfect aim, you lose to every other weapon in the entire game due to draw time, arrow trajectory, and just overall poor damage.

How? I think they are great Only thing I would want to be changed is how the arrow moves when you only charge it a small amount. It moves in such an odd way and should be going farther than it does.

Ar-..... Are you serious? I use bows all the time, I feel like a GOD who can just become Thanos, snap his fingers, and that cheeky shotgunner is [i]*pop*[/i] gone! I think it's a lil bit of yourself that could be better with bows. 🙄

Ur joking right? Or a ps4 player??

They require a different play style to be effective. Basically treat it like you would a sniper and play as a ranged support dps. Either clean up kills or soften up enemy guardians for your team to clean up. Don’t be overalls aggressive with them and play to it’s strength. You’ll have more success playing this way, I guarantee it.

They are fine and have very forgiving hitboxes. Bows require a different playstyle, maybe thats what youre missing
-
I completely disagree with this. I can 2 shot people with the primary compound bow. With such high impact and range they would nerf them before they buff them. They're fine the way they are, honestly.

1 ReplyBows are fine. They are basically 2 shot handcannons if you know how to use cover.

Nah. It also has incredible magnetism
-
They’re designed to be a medium damage precision hitter with tons of ammo, ohk’s stuff that a scout or hand cannon would chew on, but doesn’t put even the crummiest sniper outta business.

Operator error. In the hands of someone who knows what they are doing with it, a bow right now is a very frustrating weapon to have to go up against 1. It flinches the hell out of you if you get headshot with it. It WILL knock you off target. 2. It can easily one-shot you if you have any damage already. Smart players either use them: a. Like a sniper and ambush you from long range. b. Pop in and out of cover like a good hand cannon user, or c. (Most annoying) is they'll double up with another play...and team shot you. The guy with the firearm will engage you in a 1v1....and strafe to cover. He gets to cover before you can put you down....but has done enough damage to you for his team mate to pop out with the bow and then one-shot you.

Don't know what game you're playing.. But the bow definitely is not useless in PvP. I love the bow, 2 tap for the kill, or 1 to the dome & swap to finish. A bow with Rampage & Archers tempo absolutely wrecks PvP.

Nah man you just suck with a bow...it's a 2 hit kill ...precision hit does about 170 damage with the subtle calamity ...I have armor that has...enhanced targeting for bows, bow reload speed and enhanced unflinching bows ...it's pretty amazing
-
I like them where they're at right now. It's not a 1 hit kill, but it takes your opponent to the brink. If they're smart, they'll run for cover. If they're not, they'll challenge you thinking you're gonna stick with the bow. I've been switching to a hand cannon after 1 bow shot, and it's been pretty fun.

1 ReplyOn maps without long lanes, yeah, it's really bad. But on maps with much longer lanes, like Midtown, I've done pretty darn good with it. Give it another try, just don't use it on small maps.

2 RepliesWho would have thunk it. A bow and arrow losing to a bullet. Dont bring a bow to a gunfight.
