LegoBoom29 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So ive been using the Attica crossbow fow awile now and I realized that currently there are only 3 crossbows in the game and i can say from experience that crossbows are quite fun to use so maybe we could get another one with the next warframe/prime release?

Senguash Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Attica Prime sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AoN-CanoLathra- Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 What is the third crossbow? I only know of Attica and Zhuge. Unless you mean the Balistica series, but those are hand crossbows. What I would really like is a true heavy crossbow, with good crit and a miter-like charge mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeyez Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 but crossbow its an bow... acting as rifle... with silenced shots... that can bypass bow-only sorties... besides i'm not against new crossbows and i know that there's the feeling of the weapon, but the general mechanic is similar to Boltor series, with Hush equipped and lower ammo clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ada_Wong_SG Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I want a single shot crossbow that is high crit and high damage, kind of comparable to sniper rifles but it is technically a bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a charge-based crossbow; like a giant version of the Rakta Ballistica with some cool mechanics and such. It would be so freaking epic.

The main convenience crossbow have over regular bow is when you reload it remained charged, and can hold until you discharges a weapon. I suppose the charging would be the reloading, once loaded it kind of function like a rifle. Supposingly Lanka would be already that if you are thinking of charged primary that does not lose charge over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekkou Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It'll be cool to have an Arbalest as slow firing, much more powerful cross bow variant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbalest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AoN-CanoLathra- Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 There are two ways to use the existing game mechanics to simulate a high-powered crossbow's fire rate: Have a magazine size of one, with a long reload time (1.5 seconds or more). This would be annoying due to reload speed mod mechanics, but could be exploited by increasing its mag size with mods. Have a charge trigger, somewhat like the Lenz/Miter, and either a large magazine or no magazine. This would not give you the ease of use that the first would offer, but could be modded more easily due to using fire rate mods (and the 2x multiplier on fire rate mods that bows get). Have a normal magazine and trigger, but a very slow fire rate (0.5 base), similar to our pump-action shotguns. I personally thing this would be the best course of action, as it doesn't slow you down before firing, but doesn't also have the modding problems of a long reload time.

SnuggleBuckets Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Maybe one that specializes in some other damage type, doesn't need to be slash or impact, could be a weird elemental one, with a secondary fire shooting an arrow with a connective line that allows you to zap enemies with guaranteed electric proc, secondary fire following zapping would pull them to you for an easy finisher, continuing with primary auto fire would just allow you to keep shooting, or just a rapid fire Zakti type that shoots arrows that explode into gas clouds, less recoil hopefully, could have less damage but a good chance of stunning enemies in the gas blast maybe.

o.0- Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) technically, the attica and zhuge are more automatic arbalests with their powerful windlass systems, so a powerful crossbow could be an interesting alternative.

TheGrimCorsair Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Single shot Grineer crossbow with two firing mods. Fire Mode 1: Fires high crit, extremely high damage round that deals Impact/Puncture damage (60/40 split). Initial velocity splits the difference between Attica and Zhuge, but after a short distance, a small rocket motor kicks in and quickly accelerates it to maximum velocity (which is where it achieves its full crit chance and damage). There is no drop on this round, has a flat trajectory.. Velocity should be comparable to Ferrox. Fire Mode 2: Fires a low velocity canister with moderate crit and high status chance. A direct hit with the canister Impact procs and knocks down. Canister projectile splits the difference between the Zarr and Zhuge for velocity, though velocity is closer to the Zhuge than the Zarr, while drop is closer to Zarr than Zhuge. Upon hitting fire again, the canister explodes, shotgunning high velocity projectiles in the direction it's flying. Projectiles possess punch through, high velocity, and a 75/25 mix of Slash and Puncture damage. Projectile spread is moderate and uniform, though projectiles only fly a finite distance before dissipating. High damage potential for skill shots.

When it comes to crossbows, I like what the OP has suggested - something similar to an Arbalest. A heavy, single-shot crossbow. Not a repeater / automatic, not a burst, a single-shot sniper-style weapon. None of them feel good. None of them feel strong. They feel weak as piss.

One shouldn't have extremely high standards for weapons... Shall we continue this little game? Anyway, Attica and Zhuge have great stats. Attica combines high damage, good crit and high ammo efficiency while Zhuge is great crit/status hybrid. Also, Attica happens to have strong disposition while Zhuge neutral. And I too would love more conventional, single target crossbow with cool reload animation. Edited January 30, 2018 by Slaviar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite weapons are the Latron Prime, Gorgon Wraith, Braton Vandal, and Vectis Prime. My favourite secondaries are the Lex Prime and the Stubba. I was talking about how they feel to use and how effective they are.

(PSN)Multi-Melta Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Perhaps what I want is true ballistae in the game. Essentially a giant crossbow with a large projectile and 8.0 punch through. 600 puncture would do good, but the real downside is the reloading speed. Near instant travel time as well. Huh.

Gemenai Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I always wanted a big heavy infested crossbow.
