Resistance Crossbow

How about flaming arrows?
1 wooden arrow
2 rags

And it would be activated differently too. You would reload the bow, notching the special arrow. Then after you got in range you would activate your lighter on the bow, lighting the arrow. The arrow wouldn’t burn for long and you would fire it at the enemy, igniting them.

Alt recipe for incendiary arrows
1 wooden arrow
1 Molotov cocktail
1 string 3ft OR 3 string 6 in
For a Molotov arrow.

You could use those little vodka bottles.

What about a crossbow-like weapon that fired iron bolts via a magnetic field projected from magnetic accelerators on the ends of the “bow” part? Considerably more damage than a coilgun, but requires its own “iron mag bolts” or somesuch to fire. It would also be single-shot, but have a relatively long range and be powered by the UPS.

Yes, this is a Gaunt’s Ghosts reference.

How are crossbows, rebar, and universal power supplies Half Life specific? Those are all real things.

We also have handguns, pants, and buildings, which you can find in Half Life as well, but I don’t think any of these things are specific to that game either.

How about we just put in the crossbow featured in hl2.
Needs batteries and re-bars to fire.
It’s unrealistic but so is this game in general.

Some unrealism in the game is not a reason to introduce more of it.

The post was worded confusingly, but I suspect the two statements were separate. When he said there were Halflife references in the game I assumed he meant things like the resonance cascade.

Sheb:

Actually, an electric crossbow (Maybe a crossbow mod?) that add weigh and consume batteries, but let us reload faster/give us more power would be really cool. It’d waive the strength requirement too.

You don’t need electricity to make a crossbow fire faster. Just a lever and a box.

Stronger crossbows you just need a stronger bow arm, then a winch or stirrup so you can handle the additional pull strength.

Just fucking throw a gold bar at it, that’s what I do when I get mugged. I throw a gold bar at their head, normally it KOs them in one hit. Or atleast breaks their nose.

You’re throwing your gold at people and wondering why you are broke…
