Dear survivors,
As you might have noticed, there’s a new addition in the Hellbreach arsenal. And it packs a punch: Say hi to the crossbow. Just like we did in the How The Guns in Hellbreach Vegas Are Tuned - which some of the most avid readers among you might remember - we’re gonna be diving into the nitty gritty on what makes the crossbow tick!
Just like last time, this is going to be a more technical blog. We’re going to dive into the details of the various values that I’ve decided to tune the guns in Hellbreach to:
- Type
- Fire rate
- Damage
- Reload Speed
- Recoil
- Ammo Capacity
| Type | Fire Rate | Damage | Reload Speed | Recoil | Distance | Bonus Reward | Ammo Capacity | Ammo cost | Weapon Cost | Win A Weapon | [/tr]
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Fire | - | 300 | 2.1 | 0.3 | 2000 | $0 | 1 - 15 | $300 | $3,000 | Yes | [/tr]
[h4]This one comes with a bang[/h4]
The crossbow is a unique weapon because each bolt is loaded with an explosive tip. You shoot, you wait, and… BOOM! It detonates. Unlike its medieval ancestor, our crossbow, is a highly, modern and much deadlier alternative. But we’re not making it too easy: The challenge lies in the slow reload speed.
[h4]So how would I use it?[/h4]
The Crossbow is an interesting early game weapon that can truly help you out in a pinch. It’s great for dealing with larger groups of enemies, very similar to the grenade launcher. Where the grenade launcher will explode immediately, the slight delay on the explosive bolt will allow you to tactically manoeuvre before it detonates. This is also it’s strength. Shoot, reposition while reloading, detonate, shoot again. Before you know it the dismembered demons will be crawling around you, ripe for the picking.
Excited for some explosive gameplay?
I hope you found this interesting! Let us know if you’d be interested in getting more of these detailed weapon stats!
And finally, now we’ve gained some new followers since last time; Some burning questions that have been on my mind:
What’s your favourite gun?
What gun did you get the furthest with?
