Can we get another look at the Yautja's Bow? Also a bug that I've encountered.

#1

I personally would love to see the devs give the Yautja’s Bow another look. The projectile speed feels a little slow. If it had a bit more “actiony” feel to it, it would absolutely make the bow worth it and fun for me. The “draw” feels sluggish and the projectile feels sluggish. I’m not looking for a “hit scan” sort of deal. Just something that has a little bit more quicker draw time and faster projectile speed.

Also, I’ve been encountering a bug when climbing up trees using the Branch Master perk as the Scout pred. I seem to be running “up into the sky” above the tree tops going off it’s “track”(predkour?) and when I come back down I’m no longer in/on the tree but instead stuck in place wherever I land. I’m unable to move. The only way I can free myself is if I “leap” from my spot, then I’m unstuck.

Anyway, as of right now this is what I hope you really consider adjusting.

I’m absolutely loving the game and can’t wait to see the improvements you make. I really feel this game will be a sleeper hit when it receives polish.

Thank you!

It needs to be able to punch through weaker shit. As a fireteam player that runs the auto sniper I hide in foilage a lot and I feel bad but laugh when the arrow gets stuck in a lead or a thin little stick.

Predators are what? 600 pounds of muscle? That bow should have some serious draw strength. More than a sliver of wood or some foilage.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. funny seeing it get stuck in a chain link fence. But I understand that’s probably something that would take a lot of programming to fix. I would be happy with just faster draw and projectile speed.

Maybe also a little bit less “stragger” when getting shot. It would help in giving the feeling that the predator is truly much much more powerful than men.

I was very hyped when I unlocked the bow just to be disappointed again because it was underwhelming like most of the predators weapons.

I think the damage doesn’t really justify the slow draw speed and the low hold time. If it was faster I would probably try and use it more but as of now for me the goto ranged option is still the plasma caster.

Or it would be cool if you hit someone in the leg with a fully charged bow to pin them in place like a bear trap and add the option to free themselves like from the net.

I would actually like to see something like that, like if you actually hit them there’s a Crowd Control effect that causes them to have slow movement.

As of right now, the fireteam moves so irregular for me to predict the fireteams movements. When predicting their movements and I fire the arrow they’ve already changed several different directions before the arrow even lands. And leading them you have to aim so far ahead of them. I hope they consider adjusting the projectile speed. That would make the weapon so much more reliable and predictable.

Don’t get me wrong, I can still land hits with it, but that’s after wasting five or six arrows due to the irregularity in their movement.
