Izziee 128 Posted June 28, 2012 Not much to say, a small rare to find quiver attachable to the tool belt. Can hold 8 or so bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravenger 10 Posted June 28, 2012 +1 even though the crossbow is a great pvp weapon as i can kill someone with one shot in the stomach it needs more bolts for zombies unless you headshot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCHOLAR 9 Posted June 28, 2012 YES...I might use the crossbow if you found a quiver of bolts, 7 or 8 that took only one slot instead of a couple, for why would you drop your enfield for a bow with 2 or 3 bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tso 5 Posted June 28, 2012 I posted some time ago about putting bolts on the tool belt.Since hatchet and flashlight was moved there bolts would make sense.To design a quiver/magazine would probably just mean a more overall change to the crossbow.(as that is the only way to add/code it that I can imagine) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why you it would be hard to code though. It would just be like creating a back pack and attaching it to the tool belt like the hatchet.[hr']YES...I might use the crossbow if you found a quiver of bolts' date=' 7 or 8 that took only one slot instead of a couple, for why would you drop your enfield for a bow with 2 or 3 bolts.[/quote']Yeah, I really LOVE the X-bow, but I just don't pick it up anymore.

Ginger Beard 0 Posted June 28, 2012 I am currently using the crossbow just to test it. I am refusing to use another gun untill my character dies. It does have a completely different playstyle too. I love sneaking around a town and silently taking out any zombies that come too close. The ammo management sucks though it realy does need to be fixed. I also cant understand why everything keeps saying you must headshot a zombie to kill it. What? I hit zombies anywhere and its always a one hit kill. Its people that i have a hard time killing in one hit. I hit someone the other day and he was bleeding but he bandaged. That fight ended badly, but only because his buddy that was with him disconected, went onto a different server, got to my position and reconected and shot me all while the guy i shot stayed just out of line of sight but showed his feet often enough for me to know he was there. If the sights on the crossbow were better i might have won that engangement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lachmayne 2 Posted June 30, 2012 Crossbows are awesome. But bolts take up way to much room. I hope there is a way to make the bolts stack. Either with a Quiver or just have like 5 bolts per stack. I hope a dev reads this thread and lets us know if this idea is a good one or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 30, 2012 Izziee, you can use the report function to report Kobra if you have a problem with him.On topic, a Quiver sounds like a brilliant idea to hold bolts in, and would also mean that a crossbow requires one to be as useful as other starter weapons. In fact, I think I would want to use a crossbow over even an AK-74 should quivers or stackable bolts be implemented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zak757 146 Posted June 30, 2012 Why not make it like shotgun rounds? Combine 4 bolts to make a quiver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
