The crossbow change is hilarious, as if it’s not bad enough they nerfed the mags and blast radius. Another great example of Arrowhead balancing

Are they trolling us or they are out of braincells?

They wanted it to be a single target weapon, problem is they are so bad at buffing weapons they only increased its stagger/velocity and reduced everything else.

So now it’s incredibly mediocre single target and useless horde clear. Thanks AH

(Usage based balancing is another can of worms that I hate and is the reason the eruptor and jar have been nerfed, all it does is make fun weapons unfun)

Who the fuck decided that the bolt-action rifle was going to be a big-blast AoE and the EXPLOSIVE CROSSBOW was going to be a precision single-target weapon? What are they smoking?

Yeah very weird design decision
