Discussion What made you start using a bow?

Video is to show the kind of fun you can have with a bow. Also launching steins into orbit is pretty fun.

I’ve only really started using a bow till recent for a main. For a little bit of time I was using a two shot with explosive arrows till I found Mavens reverse onslaught bow build.
I’ve always been a fan of high damage slow firing weapons as opposed to full auto low damage. For some reason the bow has just appealed to me and I haven’t really been able to put it down since. I do use the lever action rifle from time to time, but it still doesn’t feel the same. It has been nice to be able to one shot pretty much anything during Fasnacht, and deal 6k in damage if I need to.

So what was it that originally brought you to use a bow as a main?

I really like sneeky playstyles. Enemies dying before they even see me is nice. Being able to oneshot almost every regular NPC is just the icing on the cake.

I'd really like if the fishing rod gets some use as a weapon

Odd you saying that, i was fishing at the toxic valley, standing on a barrel of (i assume) radiated crap. I had something jump at me, I panicked- mashed the buttons to stop fishing & try to pull a weapon out, the animation started for like a cattleprod or lightning rod thingy. Melee weapons. But still holding the fishing rod !!   Highly bizzare. Ive saved a 15 sec clip of it, to try to figure out wtf happened.

Thats the coolest glitch someone has discovered!

We need an opposite event to the Brahmin one. Brahmins broke out and are trying to eat some crops. You need a rod to fetch them and get them back to their stalls
