Please make Crossbow ammo stack.

Recommended Posts

I cannot imagine the bolts taking up much room in real life, surely you can just carry them around in a Quiver or something like when using a bow. Even if this is not true having a single bolt take up one item slot is crazy, it makes the crossbow pretty useless and especially when the zombie falls over on the bolt and you cannot get it back.

Please let the bolts stack at least because it's my favorite weapon to use but right now the amount of room bolts take up means I have to use a silenced weapon instead.

Thanx.

Depending on bolt's lenght, one AK mag could take same place as 3-4 bolts. A bit ridiculous, then.

+1, the Crossbow is more useless than the Crowbar because of this reason here.

I was surprised to find out they didn't stack when I got my first one. That being said, they should stack even if its only up to 5 or something. Maybe theres a limitation on the arma side of things that is preventing this?

Real bolts don't take up much space if you stick them into your backpack.

Implementing a quiver or stacks of five bolts would greatly improve crossbows.

Agreed. This is almost a must have, the crossbow is useless right now.

Yep. I really like weapons like this one but.... How I could use it if I need to have 2-3 bolts 'cause need space for something else and also, I can't pick up all bolts from every zombie, 'cause it's like they fall on their back ;c

Propably they are not stacable because this weapon is awsome. During crowling into some town than you see unexpected zombie from corner or than they moving such way that they cut you, you can quite clear the way by shooting one - recive bolt and crowl forward. And no player even hear this. Perfect survivor weapon, and yes - Id like to see also quivers.

Could it be because you have to reload after every shot, so the game treats 1 bolt as a 1 mag?

Sure if theres way to stack them, 3 would be enough, with still having to reload after each shot.

Weapons come in clips that degrade. Getting a new flare doesn't add flares to your current supply of flares, it just gives you a new magazine of flares.

They would have to provide a "combine" option. Like "combine X arrows into quiver" so that it would combine your arrows into a magazine form like the 2 round slugs.
