PC Crossbow vs compound bow

I feel that the crossbow would be a better weapon if you had to manually reload it. At least then you'd have the ability to retreat to a better position before incurring the reload penalty.

 
Hes saying that the crossbow does not have a range of 300 meters.

I meant 300 for the bow. I was giving an example, I don't know what the exact figures are; it was more about the difference between the two types of weapons.

I've asked the Devs to create a setting where you can toggle Auto-reload on and off, especially with the "Run and Gun"Perk not being readily available at the start, being forced into a reload situation by the game when you aren't in a good position too can literally get you killed.

I might not want to reload that weapon I might want to switch to another one that is already fully loaded or I might want to retreat to a better point where I have the distance from zed to do so.

That would be great as well, really anything that gives the player the choice about when to reload slow single-shot weapons would make them more viable. Perhaps people would even start using the blunderbuss :witless:

I don't know about the blunderbuss. I find that weapon to be the "Forgettable" one as I usually make a bow within the first 60 seconds of starting a new game.

A noisy weapon that shoots resources I really need for other things and doesn't do much damage anyway.

Stealth is more important in games like this.

Also considering the rate at which you find guns now destroys all value to guns in general.

 
Apart from that being completely lost on me, what's your point?

My point was that your numbers seemed suspect.

A 20 yard range for a crossbow seems far too low when a person can throw something over 80 yards.

Crossbow is excellent, I use it all the time as my sneaky head shot weapon, get some steal arrows, single right click to aim, works ace

Can this be modded in currently? Or are there no hooks for it?

I'm pretty sure it can be, since there has to be something there for the game to know when to auto-reload (Which is pressing the "Fire" Button when your ammo count =< 0 there should be a way to tell it to not do so in which case it could be configured to be toggle-able.
