Crossbow Ideas

[Nibblewerfer]

So I was thinking about how every ammo type used in the game except the crossbow bolt has more than one weapon it goes with, I was thinking of maybe 2 high tier weapons that could be added. One bolt using weapon could be an explosive tipped bolt that the player can detonate with right click (it should be fairly weak and have a small blast radius) and it should be able to be stuck to both zombies and the ground. The second idea I had was the usual repeating crossbow which I would think could be balanced with a magazine of 3 bolts it would of course have to be weaker in some way maybe to do less damage or to pent rate though fewer targets. All of this said I think adding one or both of these wo I led require a major rebalancing to the current crossbow and the cost of bolts the order of which they should be unlocked is also up for debate.

Also I want tier six weapons on the 7 wave maps.

Yeah I dont know what the repeating crossbow nerf should be someone who deals with the numbers should do that, that said I cant really think of what order the weapons should go in it really all depends on the damage numbers and these as I have said would definitely require some balancing to the original crossbow and bolts. Thanks though I was wondering how the reception would be.

as of right now there is only 1 wave 7 map, and that was unintentional.

 

i do like the exploding tip idea. i think that's a thing in call of duty zombies right? you stick one in the head and it ticks like a bomb for a couple seconds. i like it. not sure how to implement that though.

The exploding tip could also pierce the enemy and only stick to walls or nailed props if its that hard to make a unit explode.
