Bow Mods

[(PSN)bmulligan]

Having recently been introduced to the wonderful world of bows, I'm a little disappointed that bows don't have their own(or at least a few more) bow specific mods. So, I decided to brainstorm a few mods since i didn't have much else to do anyway.

 

 

Carbon Fiber (what ever magic future arrows are made of)

 

Essentially serration but for bows

(stats relative to Serration.)

Rank Effect Cost Conclave

0 15% 4 C20

1 30% 5 C20

2 45% 6 C23

3 60% 7 C27

4 75% 8 C30

5 90% 9 C33

6 105% 10 C37

7 120% 11 C40

8 135% 12 C43

9 150% 13 C47

10 165% 14 C50

 

Fletchette

 

Increases bows flight speed, essentially making bows better at longer ranges

(stats relative to Tainted Shell)

Rank   Flight Speed Cost Conclave

0   +6% 4 C20

1   +12% 5 C20

2   +18% 6 C23

3   +24% 7 C27

4   +30% 8 C30

5   +36% 9 C33

6   +42% 10 C37

7   +48% 11 C40

8   +54% 12 C43

9   +60% 13 C47

10   +66% 14 C50

 

Dual Nock

 

 Increases chance to fire two arrows.

(Split Chamber's bow equivalent)

Rank Effect Cost Conclave

0 15% 10 C20

1 30% 11 C20

2 45% 12 C28

3 60% 13 C35

4 75% 14 C43

5 90% 15 C50

 

 

Stabilizer

 

Increases bows accuracy, also making them more effective at long ranges.

(relative to Tainted Shell)

Rank Accuracy   Cost Conclave

0 +7%   4 C1

1 +14%   5 C1

2 +21%   6 C1

3 +28%   7 C1

4 +35%   8 C1

5 +42%   9 C1

6 +49%   10 C1

7 +56%   11 C1

8 +63%   12 C1

9 +70%   13 C1

10 +77%   14 C1

 

 

Instinctive Aim

 

Increases the charge speed of bows.

(similar to Reflex Coil)

Rank Effect Cost Conclave

0 10% 2 C5

1 20% 3 C5

2 30% 4 C6

3 40% 5 C8

4 50% 6 C9

5 60% 7 C10

 

 

These are just some ideas that I've had for what bow mods could be and/or how they'd function. As with all concepts, anything I've typed is subject to change.

Though I know what your going for, you've just copied already exsisting mods and gave them different names which i dont really understand, you can put serration as a mod as well as speed trigger and split chamber

[DangerDaddy]

We really do not need to make bow mods where they can use rifle mods.

 

Carbon Fiber = Serration

 

Dual Nock = Split Chamber 

 

Instinctive Aim = Speed Trigger

 

Although Flight speed sounds like an amazing mod, it'd be better as a rifle mod so it can be used on non-hit-scan weapons such as the supra

Of course these mods are very alike to other mods for rifles, but that's the point of it.

 

As all different kinds of weapons have mods that do basically the same thing, with slightly varying percentages, I've attempted to recreate that for bows. Yes, they are virtually identical, but nothing is set in stone.

 

Also, Instinctive Aim is much more closely related to melee's Reflex Coil. Though it has the same effect in the long run, where the effect applies is different.

kinda agreed....since it was bow...using "rifle" mod is kinda weird

"

• Can decrease the delay on Chargeable weapons such as Dread, Paris, Paris Prime, Lanka, Miter and Ogris."

I feel like Carbon Fiber should be overall less effective than Serration at the damage buff to balance out bows. Currently, they have arguably the highest damage potential in the game with their absurd crit chance, so for a bit of balance and so snipers don't have to use bows, it should get maybe 20% less added damage at max rank, for 145%. Or better yet, make it weaker than Serra., but easier to max out. Just take out the last two nodes and make the level eight one go to 145%. Also I approve of MagiTwister's idea. Give me a flight speed buff on my Supra/Lanka/Paris Prime/Dread/Everyothertraveltimeweaponinthegame!
