Ragnarookie 4 Posted June 20, 2014 So I want to ask u guys if the dmg of the Crossbow is understandable.The wiki tells me it only does 200 dmg, even the 1911 does 500 http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Crossbow /http://dayz.gamepedia.com/1911 . You are firing a huge bolt and this is all it does? You can oneshot Zombies, but not Players? Thats Bullsh*t. For such a long reload time, i could expect a bit more dmg. It doesnt have to oneshot Players, but heck! It should at least not tickle the Enemy.This is just my opinion and I was looking forward to using this weapon, because I feel more like i´m a Survivor with this weapon and not a Soldier. Tell me ur opinion on the Crossbow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathlove 2286 Posted June 20, 2014 well even the normal ashwood bow is not doing to good right now ether. I think they plan on adjusting the damage for them so they are more accurate and powerful. It shouldn't take over 3 direct hits to the skull to kill an infected.... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ld-airgrafix 403 Posted June 20, 2014 Im loving the bow, i am no koser so dont care what it does to players. I wish we can craft our own arrows though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Gews- 7443 Posted June 20, 2014 Those aren't the damages, those are additional effects, it does more damage than the 1911. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragnarookie 4 Posted June 20, 2014 Those aren't the damages, those are additional effects, it does more damage than the 1911. Are there numbers for the dmg of the real dmg for the crossbow, would be good to know, The Thing is, it is designed for PvE, but u will most likely meet other people on ur journey. Thos People will not be friendly, well most of the time. So now u are there with ur Crossbow and u have no chance of Surviving this situation, because ur Weapon is Useless in PvE. I dont want it to be the überweapon, but at least u should be able to defend urself against bandits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted June 20, 2014 But did you shot a player with crossbow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragnarookie 4 Posted June 20, 2014 But did you shot a player with crossbow? I didnt. Im too afraid to use the Crossbow. At the time i find it with some bolt i already have at least a sks and I dont want to lose my stuff because i picked a good for nothing weapon. At least this is my opinion on the Crossbow. Would u recommend to use it, would test it next time if u say so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted June 20, 2014 Maybe it 1 shot kill players, maybe someone who used crossbow on players will post his expirences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted June 20, 2014 I have problems finding any arrows, even crossbow is rare for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragnarookie 4 Posted June 20, 2014 So i did some research, well i watched a video :DD (this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0hSBv0B7zA ) and as u can see it oneshot Players, if u hit them in the chest. So at least the dmg is acceptable, but the crossbow has still some down sites. I will try it next time, i hope i will have some good experience with it.
