timedance 120 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I really like to see bow and arrow in the next update... lets hope it will be. What do you think about the shooting range of the bow? I heard bows, will be craftable? Maybe we can also find "sportsbow" in private houses, so they have better shooting range, than crafted bows. edit:look at this picture! HELL!

TheWanderingMan 170 Posted February 19, 2014 I'll be upset if they don't implement recoverable and craftable arrows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snugge 3 Posted February 19, 2014 will not be inplemented before there is no Hunting ;)But "Sportsbow" would be interresting ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohannKraus 1 Posted February 19, 2014 Would be cool, thought of it too, but i don't know how helpful will this be with Arma's mechanics... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FatboyTim 27 Posted February 19, 2014 You should be able to fashion PVC Pipe bows from a length of pipe. :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathlove 2286 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) If its like Rust's bow and arrow mechanics it would be useless against some one with a gun. I dont want bows to be more overpowered than guns but than i dont want a few select ppl running around with guns owning everyone too.

They'll make it to SA some time, but certainly not soon. Whether they will make an appearance before animals do is a different debate.

Not sure how that differs from Rust since I haven't played Rust. And I'm not sure how that translates into DayZ PvP.I'm sure they will nail it though, bows are deadly weapons obviously and should be portrayed as such. I wonder if we will get sling-bows though, that would be freaking awesome. I don't think we will see that in the next update, I hope we will but I honestly don't think so. So personally I'll hope for cooking and fire places. Edited February 19, 2014 by LeChat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timedance 120 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) you guys know, what would be MUCH MORE BETTER? >>> BURNING ARROWS> :D(right click on arrow, "make burning arrow") shooting on a guy - 100% damage Edited February 19, 2014 by TiMEDANCE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathlove 2286 Posted February 19, 2014 i case of this, what about crafted torches?Only if they fix the gamma exploit otherwise most light sources are useless on all day servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doctorbadsign 645 Posted February 19, 2014 There are berries, pond water that isn't infected and you can shelter under trees in the rain, so you can already do this. I tried to live of berries in the previous build. That didn't go so well. I didn't find a single berry and then reached the brink of starvation and decided it would be much better to find some beans haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbyb85 3 Posted February 19, 2014 Would love to find a compound hunting bow somewhere. I would be a happy guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eleventhavenue 204 Posted February 19, 2014 Bows that work like Skyrim?Aghragr Why not guns that work like call of duty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mdogg2005 447 Posted February 19, 2014 Bows that work like Skyrim?Aghragr Why not guns that work like call of duty?You're talking about one thing that works and one that doesn't. Bows in Skyrim are done very well. Arrows are recoverable from being fired into the environment as well as recovered off of killed enemies. Call of Duty gunplay is balls. That's why not.
