    It is the most game-breaking weapon, as you can spawncamp without you even being seen. Here, I have a simple nerf suggestion.

    Firstly, it can only be fired if fully drawn back (prevents any kind of spamming).
    Next off, it will only kill players that have been hit. Any players within the explosion radius that weren't hit take 8 hearts of damage instead of dying.
    AOE = changed to 5 blocks for better effect.
    Starting ammo buffed to 3 | 29.
    Reload after every 3 shots. Can not be fired during the reload time of 40 ticks.

    This will still make it a decent weapon. It will only change the mechanic and take more skill to master.

    Looks like a balanced nerf to me, I'm only a bit scared that it will make crossbow too bad and that it will be like the LAW.

    @Credo007lv I agree because this gun is so overpowered, it makes it very difficult for players like myself who don't play MC-War very much but still like to come on occasionally play the game and enjoy it. This would make it more beginner friendly.

    I just made a post on the thread from @saxers. the one about nerfing/buffing some donor guns.

    This nerf for cbow is actually better than what i thought of (IMO)

    +1

    This is way to much of a nerf. This would make it probably one of the most unusable weapons in the game. Basically it would be an isolater with less fire-rate and range. I don't like the idea of the explosion only doing damage and not killing players. If anything, just make it so that it has to be fully drawn back. Everything else listed here would make it too under-powered.

    I would not nerf it that badly if it weren't for the amount of people using it.
    If only a few people would use it, I wouldn't even need to make a thread like this.

    If it is nerfed this badly then no one will use it. We don't want what happened to the LAW happening to the C-Bow.

    On the contrary, a lot of people do.

    I like the crossbow how it is, honestly we can make the donor guns as overpowered as we want now because 2.0 is coming #soon and we'll be able to buy them for credits

    Well maybe the drawback on the bow should be slightly increased to make it balanced ?

    You know, that's sorta true. But if it is, everyone will be asking to buff it back, just like they did for the LAW.

    @Credo007lv here is a nerf suggestion: the it can only fire when pulled back and the clip is reduced to one arrow like it is in cod. The reload time would be the time as it is for the l118a. The ammo:
    1 | 31.

    Regarding the drawback statement, there are mods/hacked clients that allow the player to automatically draw the bow to maximum in a split second. So likely you might see some people spamming it this way.

    Not saying I've used one, but there are TONS of people that use it on UHC with aimbot to kill people that are far away. So I've pretty much seen it all these days.

    Back on the nerf topic, I actually like how cbow is right now considering the fact that I'm only level 25. But, IT IS a highly OP weapon, so I agree with a simple nerf.

    +1 from me :smile:

    Thank you for information. I think this will actually help for us to ban some rule breakers.
