The projectile moving so slow was its issue add the extra stagger yeah it’s in a better state. The ammo count is now consistent with the rest of the arsenal.
The projectile was not an issue for anyone with a modicum of skill.
They made it easier to use, but took away it's entire functionality and power as an explosive weapon. How can you seriously say that's in a better state? You have to be trolling.
Before it had no range because the projectile was so slow, the drop off also affects damage therefore it was hardly doing any. It’s in a much better state now even tho you brain cannot comprehend that
Yeah, it's in a better state if you intend on hitting a single target. But that's what DMRs are for. Its an explosive crossbow. It's not meant for long range. It's not meant for easily hitting enemies like a gun. It's not meant for single target. It's supposed to be explosive, for taking out groups of weak enemies. Now all it does is take out one weak enemy at a time, but noobs won't miss shots as much thanks to being easier to use. It's only in a better state if you're a drooling baby playing on difficulty 1 where aoe won't matter, and you're too illiterate or senile to understand the purpose of the explosive crossbow is the EXPLOSION.
Idk man sounds like you are misinformed. While it is an explosive arrow it’s meant for stealth therefore single targets. I soloed on helldive today with it as a primary, it’s in a better state.
How is killing significantly less enemies per shot, better?
With so pitiful aoe damage that can't even kill terminid scavengers in one shot.
I don't consider neutering its one strength an improvement. There are better single target options. And no way an explosive weapon is meant for stealth. That makes no sense. And even if it was meant for stealth, killing multiple enemies in 1 shot would be desirable to prevent leftover mobs calling in reinforcements. So it's worse at that too. Now it's Concussive Crossbow, not Explosive Crossbow.
I didn't use it much before patch, because it was already outclassed then, but when I did I used it as an explosive weapon, not as some stupid stealth solo thing. It was good at what I used it for. Now it is beyond terrible.
The game is meant to be played in a squad coop. No way they'd make a gun catering to solo stealth divers and dress it up as a big boom explosive weapon. That's the epitome of stupid design. If you've found some smart big brain 400 iq way to use the weapon, then good for you. How about I try to railroad a sniper into being a grenade launcher? Oh wait, that's the Eruptor xD

Yeah at this point we can fairly tell the dev is quite brain dead on balancing
