More usable Crossbow/Crossbow Bolt

Recommended Posts

Everybody knows this weapon is cool for zombie fights...

+++++ Noise

- Effective range 30m (wiki)

- - Rate of fire - very slow (wiki)

- - - Non-stackable bolts (in many cases disappear under the body + it takes forever to find where is that spot you can pull that from body)

I have idea that can improve this weapon, make that usable for many people. All, one or none change. You decide:

1. Make bolts stackable (maybe 5). I know, low ammo in this game is important but when you get to the town and you have only +-5 bolts together, that is not funny

even against few zombies on regular server. Against other players or weapons is this weapon already underpowered.

2. If it is even possible, you can make bolt dissapear and give that bolt into dead body. I do not know the engine that much but this could be better than the first point.

Someone shot me with a bolt yesterday point black was a dick move on his part i was about to say friendly and click into my chest. Went down to about 7k (was already hurt) and before you knew my akm had littered his body with rounds in the head but he Alt F4ed and i never got the kill.....In other words the gun is terrible at killing nothing but zeds. i pass these terrible things up on a daily basis and keep out my flashlight proudly.

Long story short .......HE SHOT ME WITH CROSSBOW THEN ALT+F4ed ESCAPING MY BULLETS. O and gun sucks period i would prefer that the bolt be lodged into the person and require a buddy to pull it out while still bleeding or bleeding to a certain amount of health then more bolts.

And if you don't have buddy to play with.. you are then screwed. And blood bag too.. when peoples are so offensive like they are, I think it is not good idea to make another similar things for two ppl. I dont have friend to play with too. Just because, he tried dayZ with me few days and then.. he was bored.

I like using the crossbow for the most part and I would be fine if I was able to get bolts from body's without looking for where the shot land on say body.
