New Crossbow Ammo Idea

Recommended Posts

I am a keen archer and love the inclusion of bows in this game, but I think the overall range and accuracy of the cross bow is disappointing. I know that bows could easily reach 100 yards and more with the right equipment.

How about adding a new Carbon bolt which increases the range of the crossbow, or even a scoped version of the existing crossbow much like the SD and scoped versions of the M4 and M16.

The carbon bolt could be destroyed on use.

2 things to add about crossbows in general :

1) please make retrieving arrows easier by including arrows INSIDE dead zombie inventory.

2)give us option to use knife on wood sticks to create arrows - there should be penalty of accuracy and distance and time required for creating one arrow.

Yes a crossbow bolt should be able to go 200 yards, however it should drop quite a lot in height and it would most likely take 2s+.

Hunting crossbows are 200-300 fps I think. ~1s for 100 yards.
