Paris And Thunderbolt

[MetalGerbil]

it would be nice if there was an explosive arrow head model attached to the arrow that was going to explode. or just have it glow or blink to indicate this.

 

EDIT: to clarify, im asking for the explosive arrow chance to trigger on the draw rather than on hit. so we can make use of it.

 

then we can see it and adjust our tactics to match. making full use of what the arrow will do.

 

pros - 

 

more control of your weapon

better use of the mods capabilities

take some of the RNG from a major change to the paris

promotes skillful play

 

cons -

 

some might unload arrows just to get an exploding one then hold it until they want to use it.

 

cant think of any more cons but that doesnt mean they dont exist. 

 

i dislike that its chance based, a missed opportunity to have another weapon like the glaive where you can do "trick" shots like shooting the wall behind some enemies hiding behind cover. or shooting the ceiling to kill some osprey. but this should allow players to make use of the mod properly.

its a chance to explode on hit, not a chance to draw an exploding arrow

[Motox831]

its a chance to explode on hit, not a chance to draw an exploding arrow

I believe this is correct. Its what i got out of it.

i know. im asking to make the change at the draw rather than on hit.

 

ill add it to the op to clarify.

I love the thunderbolt mod, and I think that this is an interesting idea to further the tactical use of the Thunderbolt mod.
