Crossbow needs a scope

[TheNameDoesntFi 4]

I really love using the crossbow, it is such a great weapon but I really hate the iron sights on this weapon, I am sort of accustomed to them but they are horribly inaccurate, it would make much more sense to have this kind of scope here. It doesn't have to be like a rifle scope just a simple red dot.

At present I wouldn't say that the crossbow even has "iron sights" - you are just looking down the RIS Rail. All crossbows that I've ever seen (about two dozen-ish designs in total) that feature a RIS Rail have a removable flip-up iron sight. Weaver mounts are often the same (though not always).

I'd be quite happy with a standard iron sight, no scope would be required. That said, if a red-dot/scope/ACOG(!) was added along with a means of stacking ammunition, I'll drop my MP5SD6 in a heartbeat and never look back.

That, and make bolts stackable and add the bolt to Zeds inventory when you hit 'em.

Xbows needs quivers. :(

If they added the option to attach sights to the crossbow, along with a quiver (already been announced), I'd pick it up over any gun.

It will in SA, they've already showed the model at some event.

Each gun(Crossbows too) will have the option to be able to attach objects on there. So far, your weapon magazine is considered an attachment and have to reload bullets manually.

Crossbows will be able to have scopes and not sure what else it'd feature but there will also be a quiver to stack bolts.

I guess i would still prefer any gun to the crossbow

yeah it's silent, can kill zombies from range and looks cool,

but it takes too long to shoot, zombies are respawning way faster than you can kill them, and against players you need to land 2-3 shots to kill them, and that take about 10 seconds if you hit every time

Here's hoping ALL attachments are customisable and swappable, depending on rail size, obviously.

Attachments are confirmed, but we don't yet know to what extent we'll be allowed to play with optional extras.

I don't think the crossbow necessarily NEEDS a scope, but the option to add one would be appreciated.

What it REALLY needs is a bolt-holding mount on the stock.

If they had this and a bow and arrow Implementation then made THESE weapons Common Id use them so much Id never go hunting down that One Assualt Rifle I desperatly need or that Backpack I want because Id be a Wild Hunter with only a CZ550 and a Revolver for guns (Crossbow could start with Iron sights and be able to use any Scope/Sight that fits on a Standard Rail and also have its own Specialized scopes that improve its accuracy also it could have Better and worse parts -a High power Firing system thats really long lasting could have detrimental weight issues (Not much but still enough to effect aiming) where as a Lightweight long laster could also fire pretty damn far but lacks immediate Power the other one has at close range) For the Bow suggestion why not have different types Such as Homemade(Doesnt last long but is fairly easy to get parts together for) Compound, Composite, long, Short, Medium, High Draw Weight and Low Draw weight all that customizable goodness people would realise the way forwards also in a Zombie Apocalypse Crossbows and Bow's would be the most common as even after the fall of the military you are gonna run out of Ammo Guns and the materials to make the Ammo for the guns. Id trust a bow over a Gun any day (And Im not any good with a bow)
