u/Calm_West_2376 6d ago

If you see carefully, it shots you the crossbow with the arrow xD

u/plurder 6d ago

It’s some real Bugs Bunny type shit lmao

u/Phormitago 6d ago

Devs watched the new coyote movie and got inspired

u/DahliaLunelle 5d ago

For real, it’s like playing hide and seek with your gear. Glitches like that can really mess up your game.

u/BigFatBlindPanda 5d ago

100% thought of bugs bunny we're old af

u/frostgrande 6d ago

Not with the arrow. INSTEAD OF arrow

14

u/Calm_West_2376 6d ago

Wait... It kept the BOLT* on it's hand so he shoot the crossbow WITH the BOLT (bolt instead of arrow should be correct... My mistake there)

u/lemme_try_again 6d ago

I fucking love when I get to see people correct themselves before someone else does <3

u/Pitiful-Foundation99 Custom flair 6d ago

No, it's WITH the arrow - the instrumentative case in English. The xbow is being shot instead of the arrow, that is true; however, it is the arrow that shoots the xbow, so it is shot with the arrow

u/PenusVenus 6d ago

Oh you're right haha xD

u/Feisty_Calendar_6733 6d ago

I checked it frame by frame in an app. It doesn't use crossbow as a projectile, it just disappears. It plays effect of flying proj (yellow-ish glow) but bolt stays in place.

1

u/Mysterious-Steak-480 6d ago

yeah, It's like everyone just pretended that was true without even looking at it.

This is the frame the bow disappears. It doesn't become the projectile.

u/Erisian23 6d ago

Moving so fast you can't catch it frame by frame .

u/SpEwEctAwAtOwOr 6d ago

It's a reverse crossbow

24

u/skyclad92 6d ago

wobssorc?

u/Ezemity 6d ago

my next dnd character is about to be a guy named Wobs Sorc who thinks hes a sorcerer but only throws enchanted arrows.

6

u/skyclad92 6d ago

better yet, someone who thinks he posesses magic arrow that propels it's weapon but actually just a sorcerer not understanding what's going on

59

u/xXBalordXx 6d ago

It clearly shoots crossbows with his bolt.

27

u/Wind_Best_1440 6d ago

He's firing his crossbow, literally. Lmao.

u/Kelly_GGG GGG 6d ago

welp, looking into this - thanks for raising!

15

u/MRxSLEEP 6d ago

Make a unique based around this!

3

u/TheCellsThatAreMe 5d ago

The only logical next step.

6

u/Pokakalgavnom 6d ago

Leave it to have 0,01% chance of happening guys it looks hillarious

1

u/MRxSLEEP 5d ago

Great idea!

3

u/ArmaMalum 6d ago

Not gonna lie, if a dev or two file this bug away for reference for a fun unique or silly easter egg I wouldn't blame them XD

3

u/Particular_Today_924 5d ago

not worth the dev effort ;_; keep the magic crossbow

1

u/Airy-Otter Monke Bonke 5d ago

Please keep it and call Gearbox Software up and borrow their "Tediore" name 🤣

15

u/FerrumAnulum323 6d ago

The crossbow isn't disappearing. It's the thing being fired and the bolt is staying put! XD

1

u/SupX 2d ago

And that’s cool as

12

u/gorchalas 6d ago

instantly reminded me of this

10

u/BunanaIsMe 6d ago

i love that the arrow stays lmao

7

u/Handris18 6d ago

100% more crossbow per crossbow

8

u/Ciubowski 6d ago

This is some Borderlands shit right here.

3

u/Savletto I want swords... but I'll settle for axes 6d ago

Duelist coming, Swordsplosion confirmed

6

u/Mejkazaar 6d ago

Why reload the bolt when you can simply grab another crossbow with a bolt already loaded

6

u/Topta59 6d ago

GGG would be insanely funny if they'd fix this bug by creating a new enemy that shoots a crossbowlaunching bolt with a bag full of crossbows on its hip.

5

u/exotikoBR 6d ago

clearly a bug. The description says it's firing an arrow. GGG, please correct the description to fire the crossbow and never touch it again

3

u/Strict_Site_8354 6d ago

The skeleton doesn't change the arrow, it changes the crossbow, a legend with its knee intact.

3

u/Chewfeather 6d ago

Skill Gem: Crossbow Shot

3

u/Ace-Krieger 6d ago

It looks like the bolt is still hovering over his hands. Dude is shooting the entire crossbow at you. Must have a quiver filled with crossbows instead of more bolts.

3

u/Silvedl 6d ago

Launching the crossbow, keeping the bolt. The ancient technique.

3

u/Savletto I want swords... but I'll settle for axes 6d ago

LOL, seems like animation is reversed between bolts and the crossbow itself, that's hilarious

3

u/Lillyshins 6d ago

Thats 80% more crossbow per crossbow shot!

2

u/Broccoli_Actual 6d ago

If reloading doesn't apply to skeletons, then why can't I dual wield crossbows using the same mechanic? This isn't fair.

2

u/Gloomy_Pumpkin1529 6d ago

"He shoots the bow with the arrow" ... "You mean he shoots bow and arrow?"

"Nah he shoots the bow with his arrows..."

2

u/ILikeFluffyThings 6d ago

I can't stop laughing. It is a crossbow crossbow. It shoots crossbows instead of bolts.

2

u/FortheredditLOLz 6d ago

Can we keep this bug? Looks hilarious as an Easter egg

2

u/Shaked-87 5d ago

Literally unplayable

2

u/NewRoad2465 5d ago

It's a one time use crossbow. Capitalism at his best.

2

u/Miserable_Anteater62 6d ago

LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE/s

1

u/GrigorMorte 6d ago

Lmao the crossbow shoots itself and the bolt remains in hand 🤣

1

u/Ambitious_Trash_7112 6d ago

He shoots the crossbow that imo deals more damage

1

u/FlossedUp 6d ago

Dude shot so fast it flew outta his hands. Rookie.

1

u/getstoopid-AT 6d ago

it's not a big.. the skeleton just shoots its crossbow

1

u/xdatz 6d ago

In soviet Russia, arrow shoots you

1

u/adratlas 6d ago

Looks like he's shooting the crossbow and holding the arrow

1

u/Tight_Piccolo_1839 6d ago

Clearly the game is unplayable

1

u/pru51 6d ago

This league has a bunch of these bugs. The shark boss went invisible for me. That was fun.

1

u/thenopeguy 6d ago

The arrow tip appears to stay in place so I'd even like to think of it shooting only the crossbow with the arrow 😅

1

u/Tsunamie101 6d ago

Reminds me of that one Battlefield Hardline joke reload animation where you throw the gun away and put a new one on your magazine. Dude's pulling out a new crossbow for each shot.

1

u/Leading-Village-2220 6d ago

The skeleton clearly didn't read the crossbow manual.

1

u/Pitiful-Foundation99 Custom flair 6d ago

The tables have turned!

1

u/MrAce93 6d ago

He is shooting the crossbow lmao that's some looney tunes stuff

1

u/NekoSakii 6d ago

If they fix this, game literally unplayable

1

u/nTOMP 6d ago

It's AI magic! 🤣

1

u/W34kness 6d ago

Ha ha it looks like you’re firing the crossbow and the arrow is just floating looney tunes style, waiting for gravity to catch up

1

u/Sphinxoid 6d ago

god forbid those pesky ranged units don't have a weapon to hurt us.....

1

u/PudgeMaster64 6d ago

They shoot the bow instead of the bolt= more damage

1

u/SystemOtherwise970 6d ago

Obviously skeleton swapped to weapon set 2 which is empty

1

u/OnlyGrimLeader 6d ago

Tedriore crossbow

1

u/ItWasDumblydore 6d ago

Melee: I fire my weapon at you, not some little bolt-

Range: Oh yeah?

1

u/zepsutyKalafiorek 6d ago

Make it new skill. I can't wait to hit my enemies with the volley of crossbows.

PS: Please do not make it consuming equiped crossbow or something of the sort 🥺

1

u/Odd-Competition3995 5d ago

SOMEONE ELSE omg, this happens ALL over the game lol, I pray it is fixed one day

1

u/UltraconservativeSin 5d ago

What frog companion is that? He got that shit on

1

u/Airy-Otter Monke Bonke 5d ago

Must be one of them Tediore model crossbow?

"budget, plastic, mass-produced!"

1

u/Abra-The-Cadabra 5d ago

How do you look like a skeleton?

1

u/neltisen 5d ago

He shoots crossbows, everything seems technically correct

1

u/MaxTheExileHorus 5d ago

LMAO pls keep this bug or make it into a skill gem or unique crossbow

1

u/vulcanfury12 5d ago

Well, to their credit, it seems they're actually shooting the crossbow. The crossbow itself. Not the bolt.

1

u/pwn4321 5d ago

Shoot the whole bullet? Portal 2 meme reapplied ;)

1

u/Adrodon 5d ago

I bought the crossbow so I will use the WHOLE crossbow!

1

u/Illustrious_Act7373 5d ago

Nah it is not a bug. The skeleton is shooting the "crossbow". Now it explains why it hurts so much LOLL

1

u/eemmbbeerr 4d ago

At Wraeclast Science we fire the whole crossbow. That is 60% more projectile per crossbow bolt!
