Terminal Velocity Worth It?

[weak_man_small_hands]

So a couple of hours ago I put up a thread on whether Terminal Velocity works on Bows or not, I have since confirmed that is does.

What I wan't to know now is if it is actually worth a mod slot, is the flight speed increase barely noticeable, or does it make Bows into Hitscan weapons?

[Horonelius]

At only 60% of course it wouldn't change them into hitscan weapons, however fully ranked it could very well be capable of turning your bow into a very slow Boltor.

Dont have so cant test, lets see if it does work :O

[Djangofett]

Im pretty sure it wont, why sacrifice a slot for a mod that increases flight speed? Unless you are conclaving.

[Horonelius]

Personally? If I had it I would use it. With it I could spend more time firing and less time leading.

Of all the weapons I have used I wouldn't see it being too useful on bows as they seem to have some of the best travel speeds for projectile weapons, and while that would mean they have the biggest effect from the mod they are still fast enough to not 'really' need it.

 

I could see it being useful on the Tetra (I think I'm the only person who not only owns one but who has also forma'd one) due to it's terribly slow projectile speed.

Moved to a more appropriate section.

SUPRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I wouldnt even use it on Supra, with its inaccuracy you will not do any long range shooting anyway which is where the flight speed would acctually matter.

[Brimir]

The way I see it, it is only a crutch if you aren't good at leading your shots.

 

If you are, there are better mods to put in that slot.

[Volume]

I dunno.

 

Dera seems like the only weapon I'd use it on. Maybe Supra.

 

Tetra is too weak baseline and needs the slot for damage.

 

Bows don't really seem to need it as much.

You are not the only one my friend...although I have not tried the TV mod on it yet - but I will test it. I have used it on the Supra and it does make a difference to accuracy whilst also making it look a bit visually "tidier", as it does appear to fire shots in morse code.

Does someone used it on a Lanka?

I can confirm Terminal Velocity boost the flight speed of the arrow, up 50 meters it is fast like a hitscan weapon on longer distances its still fast but cant reach the velocity of a hitscan.

This mod worked fine on bows, Miter, Lanka, Supra, Not much improvement on Boltor, Ogris, Torid but this it is very fun to use on Penta if you like to kill by impact only
