Archery really needs some love

[Multigun]

@Riwillion

One thing I would really like the bows to do is actually hunting

Have you tried headshots?

@Riwillion

By the way, I am aware that archery is supposed to get a bit of a dmg buff soon

It already did? Unless you mean the modest bump that’s on testlive now.

@Jens_Erik

Slightly increased bow damage across the board

@Riwillion

ranged weapons do too little damage in general

I kind of disagree, late game bows do pretty good damage, especially with charged headshots.

@Riwillion

shooting consumes too much stamina

The last update already improved on this, especially if specced right. Anymore then that would be OP, in my opion.

@Riwillion

when moving, aim gets super wonky and it gets very difficult to hit anything that isn´t a barn in a close proximity.

You are an exile, not Legolas. This feels appropriate to me.

@Riwillion

using a ranged weapon automatically puts one at a disadvantage against anyone with melee the moment they get in close proximity.

I fail to see the downside of this. Even Legolas (previously mentioned) switches to his swords when necessary. If you are packing only a bow without a melee backup, that’s on you.

@Riwillion

make shooting a bow, and perhaps even throwing (not sure on this one, I have hardly any experience using throwing weapons) cost NO stamina.

No, I’m not a PvPer and even I can see the major downsides to this.

@Riwillion

increase the projectile speed

I could be talked into this, but I think it’s already pretty good where its at.

@Riwillion

for the love of god, decrease the weight of the ammo!

They already did, it’s pretty balanced where it’s at now, in my opinion.
