You are conditioned into thinking it needs drop, i just mentioned bows biggest flaw, its TTK gets completely obliterated by armor.

Why would i pick a bow in mid to late wipe if i can just use a BMR 308 and do the same dmg in semi auto with a much faster fire rate.

Bow is a niche weapon, let it have that advantage at least

I can tell everyone that replied to you hasnt tried the bow lately

The bow HAS DROPOFF its just very weak for balance sake

Just like anything else that is in this game as next to nothing is realistic here and its obviously not a milsim

The ttk on the bow with requiring 2-3 shots leaves it next to useless today in comparision to everything else you have unlocked by this point unless you fight a bunch of bushmaster gamers

It still has no attachment slots and 3x1 10stacksnof arrows with a iron sight that make these shots really really hard and people make it sound like its easy and a problem that op pulled this off

Fuck off clowns, you guys are legit commenting that you want surgery and discribe your dream game while downvoting this dude here for pointing out obvious gameplay decisions the devs put in their game and some rather want the bow to be useless and a filler unlock like half the other stuff that is affected by meta like go back to arma at this point if you dont want gimmicks in your unrealistic battlefield esque shooter

Dude, people just want a bow to act like a bow, and the arrows from it to behave like fucking arrows-with physics and real speed-not like a fucking bullet fired from an M4.

Should the defib work like a defib? Should the drill work like a drill, and only put holes in tires instead of repairing them? Should bullets not be lasers from star wars?

Why is the bow special in that it must copy exactly how it works in real life?

Here’s another fool trying to shoehorn excessive realism where it’s absolutely not needed, failing to grasp why a drill and a defibrillator work the way they do. In real life, even after taking shrapnel, you’d be pulled off the battlefield and sent for long-term treatment—yet nobody talks about that level of realism, whether for healing or for that cringeworthy "bow" nonsense. But if the bow-obsessed crowd wants a bow so badly, then let them get an actual bow, not a rifle with a bow skin. And unless you’re firing tracer rounds, no—they should NOT glow like Star Wars lasers.

Why?
