Fire rate mods can get you firing about that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doommoose22 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 not even close facehugger, using maxed shred fast hands and speed trigger on a paris prime, the bow still does not fire nearly as fast as he is able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lautalocos Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 yes please. i think bows as a whole need a rework, or at least a second look. right now they look awesome, but are not powerfull enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andaeros Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah, you can get fairly in the area of that rate of fire with the right mods. However it's probably never going to be that quick unless there is a bow that comes out that does less damage, considering that the slower speed is supposed to balance out the increased damage.

I can relate as for high level missions I will use a bow, but it's definitely less thought required to use a hitscan weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siekier Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 not even close facehugger, using maxed shred fast hands and speed trigger on a paris prime, the bow still does not fire nearly as fast as he is able to. Perhaps that's becasue fire rate mods affect only charge speed on bows. If you want to shoot uncharged shots faster then use reload speed mod.

Yefrign Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 while I admit thats pretty damn impressive, reload speed and rate of fire mods can basically replicate that. just not with the 'multiple arrows in hand' technique (now I want to pick up archery again >.<) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penthos Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Currently, I find a couple glaring issues with bows in this game: 1. Modern day high-end compound bows have the ability to shoot faster arrows with less curve than those currently in the game, and with this game being so far in the future, you'd think they'd be better. 2. The fire rate is definitely an issue. You pull back your arrows with what seems like so much strength only for a lackluster and rather slow shot. The speed definitely need to be set at a higher rate so you wouldn't need to pour on fire rate mods for this to be an effective weapon, as fire rate mods will take much away from damage output. Your idea for the Tenno to hold the arrows in hand is a good idea. They could hold 5 for a "magazine" and when they are gone, grab 5 more. It would work. So do I agree that fire rate should be better? Yes, but more than that I feel bows should be reworked in these areas I've mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doommoose22 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 We have multishot mods. Close enough. so do the fully auto weapons that can hit 500+ per shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzodia Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 so do the fully auto weapons that can hit 500+ per shot I'm not disagreeing that bows should be able to shoot faster. Just saying, multishot can replicate multiple arrows (duh). I like the idea though - perhaps press reload to stock an additional arrow for quickfire, and semi-auto- away!

lautalocos Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 i do think that a faster reload speed, to make quick shooting feel better, and a faster charge speed would make the bows feel better. considering that you need to watch out for travel time and arrow drop, it would be okay.

shut Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 What I want are normal shots to deal greater DPS than charged shots. There's literally no reason to use normal shots right now other than to stagger enemies, proc Thunderbolt on weaker enemies, or open crates. They need to increase the fire rate and redraw speed of normal shots. Preferably to somewhere around the speed shown in the first bit of this video: (Kai trailer from Vindictus) Basically giving normal shots roughly double the DPS of charged shots, at the cost of ammo efficiency and accuracy or range (i.e. huge falloff after 15 meters or so).

doommoose22 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 so all in all who agrees with this or has an idea to help with the current issue? wouldn't mind faster non drawn at the cost of accuracy and range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trentr1996 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I agree it should be fixed too, or add another bow. But it would be a col option to be able to hold multiple arrows at once by hitting the reload button numerous times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
