Crossbows, Benefits & Drawbacks

As previously noted, I have caused a non breached car to resign during arena by exiting my own vehicle and putting a crossbow round into the other car's front grill.  I've also demoed non breached cars in the wild but in that case it might have been a all my mates are dead and im scared situation.

This makes most weapons like the crossbow unneeded and outclassed. On a side note, DW site is not smartphone friendly <3 ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Mar 19, 2012, 1:10 am

The crossbow can be an interesting choice for a ganger that is trained in handgun use because of its ridiculously high power: I have yet to see a single crossbow shot fail to take down an opponent in the arena. ......................... vet combatL1 wv cont0,5,0 Posted Mar 19, 2012, 2:57 pm

I had an encounter the other day, I really wanted a bloody shotgun of all things. Never going on a ped run without one of them anymore. Each gun has its uses. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp4 zom cont pvp32,12,1 Posted Mar 19, 2012, 9:57 pm
