Crossbow and Bow

Recommended Posts

If should be nice if they can put a bow, I know they'll put a crossbow but a bow should be cool too. Both for hunting!

It's a good idea no doubt. I would love to have a bow. A bow is more or less the ultimate zombie apocalypse survival weapon: good for hunting, good for taking down zombies quickly and quietly, ammo is easily crafted with some practice. The drawback (no pun intended) is in realism as proper and effective use requires a great deal of patience and time to master, though the game suffers already with everyone knowing how to perform blood transfusions and properly handle a gun.

I had posted a topic that was about hunting and I suggested different types of bows such as recurve, compound and longbows should have different characteristics or can be crafted if you meet the material requirements.

I do agree this is a great idea to make as an alternative than an actual firearm. Just at this point they'll need to have the right physics for the arrow to actually drop over time depending how far back you pull on the bowstring.

 

Here's what I'd like to see with bows.

 

  • Pulling on the bowstring hard enough could create a possibility of breaking, depending on the quality of the string.
  • Bows can be crafted into 3 different types; Recurve, compound or longbow which will reflect on different attributes.
  • Arrows can be fletched in a way the mod will. (Requires feathers, hunting knife, arrow shafts, metal scrap)
  • Arrows can also be dipped into something that could be contaminated; (a lake that has cholera or into a human corpse)
  • Bows could have an scope attachment to increase accuracy; such as a PU Scope.
  • Part of a crafting system, perhaps a bow could be improved by providing grips, quiver mounts as displayed here: (Click Here for image example)
