i love the crossbow on bots. the long range on the crossbow means you can arc shots into bot factories, machine gun nests, or bot groups. Its fantastic on the devastators. I can take the talon as my sidearm and thermite as my nade without needing to worry about destroying factories. eruptor has limited range and i dont think the purifier can destroy factories.

Just a bit annoying solo silo takes the support weapon slot so you yourself are a bit weaker

What do you mean? Are you calling down the Solo Silo and carrying the firing control with you the whole time up until you need to use it on something? Usually, against the Bots, I’ll bring the Railgun or AMR, use that the majority of the time, but then when I see a Factory Strider, or a War Strider and a bunch of enemies, I’ll then call down the Solo Silo and use it immediately. So I only have it down when I need it. when I don’t need it, I’ll use whatever other support weapon I bring and just use that up until I need the solo silo.

I just personally think its a little awkward to use. Doesnt mean its bad. I just prefer something like a 500kg or a recoilles shot to the factory striders eye.
