    remove the explosive arrows from the heavy crossbow !!! I cannot move away from sunderer or respawn because a paratrooper with a crossbow and explosive arrows is sitting somewhere

    Just for using that font I'm going to say "lets keep the crossbow and buff it even! Add a concussion effect to the AOE! add a second fire mode where the bolts only detonate if you hold the X or B key, so you can fire a few into a wall and insta-murder opponents as they pass! Add a leaching mechanism, each hit takes 100% of the shield and health damage and gives it to the player!"

    Very over powered. I had to dial down particles, lightning, effects and bloom, because they cause that much saturation in fights to where I can’t even see. I used to run high or ultra. Not anymore.

    The Seeker in it's current state needs to be a nose gun on a Liberator, not a Light Assault or Infiltrator weapon.

    Or a top turret for MBT or Harasser. Would be a direct upgrade over the Canister.

    i dont see a problem with that tho, if u get an entire squad of people camping ur sundie, their weapons arent the problem? u lost the fight and now theyre littereally just farming you? problem is u keep using a lost sundie then, no?

    4 snipers, 2 on each side spamming bodyshots instantly killing anyone spawning and an engie to resupply

    engies with their anti material rifle basically does the same as the crossbow - and also instantly takes out any potential max and light armored vehicles/aircrafts

    grenade belt + fast jumpy LA´s just spam nades and instantly oneshot anything in a 20 meter radius of the sundie (ofc not dmging the sundie still cause lovely armor)

    heavys just spam thumper

    5 flash´s with shotguns driving around the sundie - or 2 harrashers - or 1 anti personel lightning + repair sundie would also make perfect just camping the sundie (just dont directly shoot the sundie with the lightning - or swap it out for anti personel guns on another repair sundie and have godlike power)


    the only thing crossbow does better than other weapons flanking, if u manage to get around and through the entire enemy team without a single person spotting you - also everyone sees you if u try to fly - and when u get spotted, any other weapon has more.. well everything than the crossbow,
    snipers one/twoshot with higher velocity making it easier to hit - all other type of nonspecialised guns have more dps putting the LA at a disadvantage if he dosnt shoot first... its just a new type of weapon with maybe a reload problem that nobody seems to bother thinking for 2 seconds how one would counter it, and just assumes it overpoweres anything in the game and starts spamming remove it

    the sniper rifle has no damage in an area of ​​3 meters in 250 damage.

    it does not. it just instantly kill you without any warning at all. - i highly doubt the crossbow itself is your problem, i never had a problem with, only 1 time did i die and was like "that might not have been entirely fair" (our sundie was safe and everything, nobody around for miles, i spawn and run out and fight, i die, i respawn and instantly boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and im dead... but then i simply, spawned again sprint full speed (this time i was prepared ofc), and turned around and started shooting at him and easily took him down making it a notproblem.. other than that i never experienced anyone just blowing the to pieces no matere where i go.. i just dont go where theyre all shooting and im always safe from it - all other weapons has more dps xd

    uh and also, the explosions dosnt matter, if 30 people are camping ur sundie DONT SPAWN THERE if its 30 snipers u wouldnt even spawn at all, u would go from map screen > you dead screen - no time for spawning or explosions or anything to get angry over, just permantly stuck on "you are dead" or the map xd

    I know you want to defend the current state of this broken crossbow, because it's really fun to eliminate fellow planetmans without any kind of risk (ok, as Light Assault you at least are not invisible).
    But come on! Try to bring some argument, that at least partially reflects reality.

    i did in my post, mainly it removes the biggest gamekiller for the game - being stuck in doorfights, but in saying without any kind of risk couldnt be more wrong - and i also never said its perfect, i could do with a little less explosion radius and making the shot VERY bright reflecting that its an energy weapon, and i also wouldnt mind or care really if they add a line behind the bullet for a second given its a light assult and infiltrator non-sniper weapon you should be moving alot because your not completely invisible(at least you shouldnt be) but its like.. 5000 arguements why its good vs 10 wrong arguements why its bad, and 2 right ones

    yet look at the update they gave us due to everyones just whining about absolutely EVERYTHING about it - now theres no areolight or split bolts anymore.. at all, just completely gone for no reason? maybe split bolt had too long oneshot range, but now its littereally impossible to ever get a oneshot so theres littereally no reason to put it on, all it does is remove all ur dmg at 10m+ and not boost 10m or less and the same for areolight, just goes from 2shot kill to 3shot kill for no gain - yet they still explode the same way and equally big and damaging and the directive is still there so theres still gonne ba 50% of the players using it, which is the main problem here, making a 1 month long event about 1 weapon is just stupid, especially if it explodes, then its just boomside 2, but nothings gonna change that except waiting a month, then it will go down and it would had been balanced but not now, now its just gonna suck *** like every other weapon that dosnt resemble an AK-47 in EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE WAY.. like cmn its a ******* sci-fi game let us have more than glocks and ak´s.. maybe add something thats still useful, and dosnt exist in csgo already?

    :oops: I have to retract my statement for now. :confused: I thought you meant the Basic Crossbow. I had no idea there was a new one. Genudine, late to the party as always. We do not have it yet. I will be happy once we do get one though. I always found it rather sad the Explosive Tipped arrows were not the same grade of quality as Rambo's.... :D One Explosive tip per Vehicle and Building. :eek: Now that is true quality!;)
