Buttsecks Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 or maybe a bowman warframe? Pretty please? My pants are ready to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expletive Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I'd love to be able to murder guys with a compound bow. Seconding this. It could be like a stronger version of the bolto. Relatively slow firing, but armor piercing, huge damage, and pins them to walls. Edited January 25, 2013 by Expletive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prepoznator Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Crossbow would be something,we already got bolts ingame,lot of armies still uses crossbows in rl,that would be cooler but then in the end i wouldnt mind a good bow :D Armor piercing weapons still rule!

Neverus Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^^ I would also love to shoot some npcs with bow. There could be entire frame dedicated to bows or crosbows, but but bows preferably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 And chances are, with the technology you could create some crazy pseudo-alloy frame with higher tensile strength and blah blah blah! Or it could just be like bolto or some sort of magnetic bolt driver. Because, you know, they've probably figured out how to fire any projectile in a compact package.

Relatively slow firing, but armor piercing, huge damage, and pins them to walls. Bolto is armorignoring, does pretty high damage, AND pins targets to walls. And it has a pretty high firerate. But I I think I know what you mean. I would love a bow, with a similar concept as the bolto, just stronger.

Ced23Ric Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Crossbows are for peasants. Longbows is where the mammaries are at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10twenty4 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 What's with this trend of sticking bows in everything? Is it because of the Hunger Games? Crysis 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labcat Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) What's with this trend of sticking bows in everything? Is it because of the Hunger Games? Crysis 3? No, because of IRL bows. I once got a bow for my birthday. Excited, I went to test it, with a friend of course. I thought the arrow would fly about 50m. It flew 100m, just passing the roof of a house .fak Edited January 25, 2013 by Labcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapricaSix Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 A scifi composite bow that shoots.. plasma bolts and "stuff". Yes please! The impaling effect of Bolto would be great with this kind of weapon but I think the scifi arrows should be much faster than Bolto's bolts. There could even be a melee-like mechanic for it, you simply hold the LMB to charge it and shoot it like a powerful bolto shot that impales people, and if you tap LMB it just shoots regular scifi arrows.

Kiwi Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would love having a bow to run around with and attack people with :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBauce Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 this game does need a silent weapon since stealth is trying to be implemented more. It would be pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I am totally for a bow of some sort being in the game. Nothing says "I owned your &#!" than killing someone with "outdated" tech This is just icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's silent, small and easy to carry for the ninja on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lers Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 +1 Bows are just overall awesome. And it would fit the "traditional" feeling of the Tenno anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshired Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Because bows are awesome? Nothing says "I owned your &#!" than killing someone with "outdated" tech You know what else is awesome? Pirates and T-rexes... you don't see them being implemented do you? I would personally love to see bow because it sounds like a weapon which could introduce another way of distance fighting but... I don't know what that could be to keep up with weapons that are already out there. It can't be fastshooting. It could go under long-range with heavy damage but that's not any use since it should be slower than the slowest sniper rifle available now. Maybe charged shoots that can pierce few enemies in straight line? Interesting and worth thinking some more beside "its cool" point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aheed Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would love to see a bow as well, give it the same damage as the snipetron, but make it aim like the bow in res 5. Skill to balance the power. Also make it silent so you can take down an enemy at range and go unalerted making stealth more possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackram Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You know what else is awesome? Pirates and T-rexes... you don't see them being implemented do you? We already have spaces ninjas, could see space pirates making an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshired Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 We already have spaces ninjas, could see space pirates making an appearance. ...back to T-rexes. RoboT-Rexes that is. but seriously what I meant is an explaination to why would one use bow instead of futuristic guns and what mechanics would such new weapon provide. That differentizes good sci-fi from trash sci-fi. Possibly reliable explaination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You know what else is awesome? Pirates and T-rexes... you don't see them being implemented do you? Space pirates and a planet inhabited by dinosaurs. Sounds like a good time to me. But to the rest, firing a bow isn't necessarily slow. There are techniques that allow an archer to accurately shoot several arrows in a matter of seconds, that can be done without any fixed anchor point and while moving and jumping. Certainly a bow weapon can be as you described, but it could also serve as an optimal weapon for medium range combat, or even close range if we bring something like a wrist-mounted crossbow into the mix.

Expletive Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm gonna say it could have adjustable damage. Either you can fire fast like a semi-auto by clicking fast, or you can fire it more slowly by holding down the mouse button for stronger attacks.
