A Different Head On Dreads Arrows

[MeowNinja]

This may have already been brought up before, But I think the cresent moon head on the Dread Bow does not fit the weapon. It just looks funny. I think that its head should be more intimidating, like a swallowtail head (Seen here https://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=11050.15 ), or a nice intricate design like this one http://www.edgesofreality.com/store-products-XH2222-Torii-Arrowhead_41891668.html .

It's for goring enemies. It doesn't need to look cool.

It's meant to slice dudes up not stab them and stick in them.

I'd say it's a fairly accurate evolution of a deadly arrowhead. Glowy, melty bits exist on other weapons for the intend of cutting things, so it makes sense that the head is more like a guillotine than a point. With an edge that cuts directly (with plasma or whatever science fiction) and not necessarily needing to pierce first, you would maximize the face of the head to impact the most of a target area.

I took it as wings hense it flies straighter and furthur

I like the heads on them. It would be cool to get more weapon skins in general though. Something that could be used on both the Paris and Dread

[Flunky]

it looks like a suction cup

The point (heh) is that it has a broad arrowhead, those were used in history to deal heavy damage to armored targets, that's why it has more base damage than the Paris, but does not have armor ignore, like the paris does. I do agree that the shape is completely $&*&*#(%&, whoever designed it should have modeled the arrowhead to a more stylish and historically accurate shape, look at this.

And as a comprisson, here is what an armor piercing arrowhead looks like, for those who will say that the difference is too slight to be noticed.

Clearly it should look like the first image, rather than some stupid crescent shape, it doesn't look dangerous, it looks goofy.

Hell, there's even more badass designs out there, that are actually used for hunting, check these out and tell me you wouldn't preffer that over the pokeball:

P.S. I would have used tags, but for some reason this forum doesn't allow them, weird.

yeah but broadhead arrows were meant to wound and bleed out unarmored enemies or animals. In a futuristic setting the current arrowhead makes sense much like the plasma sword glowy bits.

Sure thing, but the shape is still goofy as fuuck
