Love the Crossbows
Just wanted to say i really love the new Crossbows. Its extremly fun to shoot enemies and pick up the bolts again after. Just wish they had a lillte more ammo. I get that its low because i can pick them back up, but when im fighting a boss and arent able to pick the ammo back up, 10 feel a bit to low.
But great job. Hope we get one in every element with some great traits.

Bungle gonna bungle. It’s the only thing they do well. Bungle every single thing. Crossbows are just one of many things they’ve bungled. It’s sad they can’t even get crossbows right, but this is what happens when you fire Steve from the QA dept just because Lord Bungo didn’t like him. 🤣 https://youtu.be/tmCaXewv6YY?si=H-cbcGty295NJg7s 4:00 in. Poor Steve.

8 RepliesHonestly, I don’t mind the ammo capacity, but they don’t hit nearly hard enough to really be viable for DPS. The damage is only about 75% as strong as a rocket, has comparable fire rate (if not lower), and requires crits. For right now they’re a decent MG alternative, but they could use a few buffs :)

i'm very happy for you that you got one. i wish i could have one too. it would be super dope if they weren't locked inside of a stupid gambling mechanic, because some of us have had the universe/fate/god or whatever tf decide we don't get to have cool things.

Not a fan of it. Myself.

They seem okay. Feels like a rocket launcher and a sick game of "fetch". I'd love more rocket pulses, either a void or stasis!

I hope they make cross bows for other slots too. I mean a repeater cross bow for example could probably work so long as it doesn't basically invalidate scout rifles like how ARs almost if not completely invalidate special trace rifles.

Get one with Autoloading holster.

Edited by MNN8TV: 11/1/2025 9:15:35 PMThey are fun. As for the ammo problem they almost reverse how you have to think of boss damage. You have to use an exotic special or ability based boss damage or you risk that ammo issue. Sure you can save your heavy but that’s not really the crossbows specialty. That is definitely deleting majors and minibosses/champs. The one build I’ve made with a crossbow has ergo sum for things that are really tanky. Exotic specials are prob the play. Cloudstrike, agers scepter, New malpais, merciless, divinity as part of a fireteam, and still hunt are all decent ideas.
