thefriendlydutchman 160 Posted April 21, 2014 a bow and a crossbow are very light so it should be possible, the character wil walk a little but slower (about 5% thats allot in the long run) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted April 21, 2014 A crossbow wouldn't knock 5% off your running speed unless it's unrealistically massive and heavy. 1% maybe.But yes. x/bow + primary weapon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted April 22, 2014 Lemme toss up a little doodle. Not only is the crossbow longer than the M4A1, it's also wider than the length of the M4A1. As for weight, they are about the same. Does a crossbow have the ability to shrink itself and defy the pull of gravity? No? Well, in that case crossbows should not be treated any differently from other weapons or items. If you can do rifle plus crossbow, you can also do rifle plus rifle... there should not be any discussion on this subject limited only to crossbows because that makes no sense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ld-airgrafix 403 Posted April 22, 2014 Crossbows are heavier than bows, not sure about modern ones, but ones made out of wood are heavy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DURRHUNTER 597 Posted April 22, 2014 This isnt the walking dead. IRL you can carry 2 large weapons, one in your hands, one on your back (IF YOU HAVE A GUNSTRAP) and that should be all unless you have a bag that can carry multiple weapons.Sidearms (IE pistols) you should be able to carry many of these as you want.

Chaingunfighter 917 Posted April 22, 2014 Not without a sling or some sort of implement. Even then, a crossbow is pretty damn large and using one alongside a full-sized rifle seems pretty odd (Although hunters will do it, occasionally). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AP_Norris 1018 Posted April 22, 2014 Bullets need to be made rarer, to make a choice between a crossbow and a rifle very difficult.Most crossbows usually allow you to take the arms off though, however if we see crossbows slipping into bags I would really want guns to as well.Once some sort of weight and fatigue system comes along I'm happy for the player having far greater flexibility on where he can put things.

ld-airgrafix 403 Posted April 22, 2014 Not only should bow/crossbow be used due to lack of ammo, but also not to alert the "hundreds" of zombies that this game might never have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
