Alien Sky - 17/07/2026

Post by Decker »

One stage event thankfully, explosive crossbow, lets see how this one pans out.

Edit - It's slow, shots curve out then in, I kept thinking I had missed the target...
Turns out I wasn't just old and grumpy - I was right to be pissed right off!

Arrows have very slow flight as well. I can imagine a sniper or RPG getting off a shot before the explosive arrow get to the target and does its job.

Since the weapon has "Seek and Destroy", there shouldn't be any misses.

With no upgrades yet, it is pitifully weak. I empty the magazine at whatever the target is. By the time the target is destroyed with the slow arrow flight, the reload is complete.

What clown at GL gave an EXPLOSIVE weapon the 'Marksman" attribute, don't they know that Explosive Weapons cannot register Headshots.

Also, 3 rounds in with 5 weapon upgrades and it still takes 2 shot to takeout a goon, this thing is a POS.

Totally agree. No idea what possible use this weapon might be except (maybe) for a newbie.

GL had to fill an event and this is it.

Only 2 pluses to go with the seek and destroy attribute is the high rate of fire and fast reload.

Empty a mag at one enemy and take aim at the next, but again will it be strong enough to be of any use!?
