The Crossbow Steel Bolt is Disappointing...

[@Sir_Pleasant]

Another day of Hornet talking in the intro... Music to my ears...

[@tranquilitystream9908]

Thanks for not just putting out garbage "OMG THE NEW STEEL BOLT IS SO BROKEN AND AWESOME" type video, appreciated.

[@Pablo-V]

IMO the problem with Steel Bolts is the same with regular bolts, and it's that when you have people not facing you directly, you'll most likely just hit an arm shot which just won't one shot people at all, it's why shotbolt is just so much better close range, because an arm shot will still kill if the torso is behind the arm, on top of having virtually infinite one shot range ofc

[@vastroy6307]

Arm shot should have a fatigue on the opponent like more sway stamina consumption on ads

[@PenitusVox]

Yeah, steel bolt should have been given one level of penetration. Penetrates limbs and thin wood like doors. That would've at least given it something of a niche.

[@SonOFaDuck-se1my]

@@vastroy6307 like bleeding and having 10 hp is not enough lmao. dont make this like eft with too many status effects you can get. any type of aim sway is fcking counter skill aswell

[@misterio3678]

9:45 ring around the rosies gameplay loooooool

[@ManicAfterShock]

I rarely, if ever, got a once shot kill on the steel bolts, regardless of range. I wanted to use them SO BAD on the deadeye crossbow, but between the increased hip fire spread and lack of one shot potential, it just became a frustrating mess.

[@MooseJuiced]

"Frustrating mess" title of our sex tape

[@ManicAfterShock]

@@MooseJuiced Only thing it will lack is the money shot.

[@dtm20004]

Gives me Flechette vibes honestly, where the benifit mostly comes from a Silent Staus effect (Bleed) thats good for follow ups, teamplays, but not outright killing. Which is interesting enough I guess. Think Id still rather have Flechette, because I can do the same thing, just louder. But having, y'know, a follow-up shot instead of a clunky reload. Lol, maybe they need to give it Arm piercing like shotguns, make it feel more reliable. Fuck it, make it pen 1 layer of wood while you're at it. Its steel aint it? 😂

[@dr.richarddicknificentm.d.5532]

Flechette also gives the benefit of greatly extending the 2 tap range of shotguns so you can pressure people with bleed and fairly hefty damage from across a compound, even killing them. All a crossbow has is its 1HKO potential and steel bolt gimps it, you have no follow up outside of switching do a different gun

[@misterio3678]

Yeah I agree it should definitely go through 1 plank at least.

[@deliqene3191]

I like that the steel bolt got added at the same time the bow and shotguns got MASSIVE buffs, so even if u want to bring primitive weapons, the bow is a lot better in spades simply due to damage buffs and being able to carry more special ammo

[@dilbert1903]

6:52 is absolutely nutty man, well done

[@jani80k]

in a nutshell... steel bolts make you an assisst machine

[@2ane]

-Its easier to hit with it at range -it doesnt kill though what was the idea behind this?

[@Mr.Ford3350]

Quieter medium range option, but at that point you could just use a silenced Sparks. Unfortunately, I don't know if it really fits a niche

[@2ane]

@Mr.Ford3350 I think regular bolts or even shotbolts are quite a good option for medium range as it is. Every time a steel bolt doesn't kill you have to ask yourself: why am I doing this?

[@Gongolongo]

I run explosive and steel bolts. Secondary usually Mosin oberez. I've had a lot of luck with the steel bolts and the new crossbow with the optic. 5 star rating.

[@Mr.Ford3350]

@@Gongolongo Do the steel bolts still inflict the intense bleed effect? If so, I feel like they could make exploding people who are struggling to hide and heal much easier

[@brunomorin826]

The last round when you outplay the other team with a chain pistol dumdum ammo at medium range is insane. The fact that they delivered a super shotgun was a tribute for you to close the match

[@Sovreign071]

Imo, it should have reduced initial damage, but reduced damage drop off along with the reduced projectile drop. That way, after a certain distance, it's 100% more viable than a standard bolt.

[@kimonaspap5001]

Hunt is unplayable for me now, but I enjoy seeing Hornet clapping hunters the same

[@aaronstevens82]

Hornet, if you ever get the chance and want to just ruin someones entire day, Mako explosive with levering has been my go to for a bit now. I even bring explosive uppercut for more ammo. Being able to just tap fire the levering near someone and ruin their shots with aimpunch is just hilarious. I have had more frustrated rants over mic than using any other weapon. Plus you can tap a door open then just rush in and spam someone dead. Super silly fun man, I would love to see someone with more skill play it.

[@alexanderj8297]

It’s a mediocre meme build, there’s plenty of videos back when the mako came out, just type it in search bar

[@PsychoKern]

Ah yes, steel is somehow LIGHTER than wood and thus it makes it fly further with more accuracy but LESS damage? Bruh XD

[@illusions500]

I think it should penetrate body parts without getting stuck

[@darkmasterzz5386]

Man, it's all about balacing. What is the utility of wooden arrow if steel one is better in every aspect? Noone would use it.

[@codiola7844]

My thoughts exactly 😂 could’ve made it something else to have the exact effects. Like a bone bolt

[@bearbrawnson717]

A large wooden square bolt with a broad tip works like a dum dum bullet, tearing up the victim, unlike a steel needle without a broadhead tip that just penetrates. But it'd be cooler if steel ones penetrated limbs.

[@Kenton_Stills]

But... Steel is heavier than feathers...

[@urtelaq]

23:39 It's always funny when they decide to push after 10 minute distance keeping then all of em dies in half a minute 😂

[@寝子猫-j4y]

Yeah, especially when they run in one by one taking a duel instead of rushing as a team lmao.

[@MooseJuiced]

Hornet is growing up, intro narrative!

[@Andro-m5s]

Used it once, had a good laugh, never used it again 😂

[@amauriherrera6022]

Ah, yes. I remember my survey answer: DISAPPOINTED ✔ Good thing Hornet also says, maybe everyone will nod their head now and start believing.

[@barszr]

these two guys you farmed in Scrapbeak compound will for sure start carrying flaregun or fuses in every match. Nice clips man.

[@vicity4585]

love the aggressive gameplay

[@DingleFlop]

I've tried a bit of both as a certified crossbow gamer. The scope is awesome, the steel bolts are not. May as well take the normal bolts and lead/raise more. The scope isn't actually good enough for steel bolts to make a difference, for me.

[@KungThulhu]

Steelbolt IMO should have much better damage retention over distance. That way there would be a good reason to take it.

[@alextaylorsmith]

Could you make a video about what graphics settings you use? The new update has tanked my performance on my 3080 and it doesn't feel smooth no matter what I do.

[@isaacnicholls128]

so after using the crossbow in the new update, it feels like it fires a little higher on the ironsight than it used to before the update. am i crazy? i swear i would go for a body shot and i'd get a headshot and not expect it. this is with lowered crosshair as well. Also i love the new steel bolt its not insane or anything i just love the new velocity and i havent had many problems with its one tap potential even in 5-5.5* team lobbies

[@baki_sigma]

the last fight was slick af ggs

[@xul3901]

Avtomat, Mosin and Crown & king vs Crossbow 💀

[@zroni.motta17]

Great intro as always and even better gameplay. Especially considering this (shitty) new ammo type

[@kingkracker1998]

i like the Higher V bullets do way less damage. Im a shotgunner and compact pistol user. im better with 300 volocity than 400

[@kingkracker1998]

ur ping is so good, ur almost a full second ahead of other players it seems at times. u kill some one take 2 steps then hear a gun shot then get hit. like 7 steps away lol CRAZY

[@c2wgamingyt367]

Steel bolts are awesome when you use em as intended 😂 but go pushing in like a six star chad then you might need to switch to kill the next two sick video tho

[@Rol4nnd]

New title suggestion: crossbow shotbolt is great! 😆

[@mevenyo]

Next update : Adding 1 mmr level specialy for hornet 😂

[@gtfomenow]

Maaaaaaan watchu talking about? These bolts are absolutely awesome

[@dem4xed]

I was also surprised by how many people I still one shotted with it. I think hornet is just disappointed because he can't use it's potential without the deadeye

[@mr.bubbles6681]

Very stupid question but how are you getting Tier 3 hunters?? Ever since the update dropped they never show up in my roster depsite me being lvl 100. Do i have to prestige to maybe reset myself so they'd show up properly as i lvl?

[@Helldragon789]

Tier 3 hunters are gonna come later. They're gonna be "evolutions" of the current tier 1 hunters. That's why they're rookies If you had any tier 3s saved before the game updated to the new year they didn't go away, so people who had a bunch of tier 3s stockpiled get to keep playing them.

[@mr.bubbles6681]

@@Helldragon789 dang... Thanks man.

[@atompery477]

Alone by looking at the stats of this ammo-type, I already knew it wouldnt be relevant... So I will never be bringing it into a match and therefore I cant be dissapointed...

[@heypistolero]

I try and have your videos play in the background while I work, but they are too intense. I gotta pause what I'm doing

[@Aragorn16161]

Лучший ❤ спасибо за контент 👍

[@Get_Bush_wookied]

Definitely feeling second hand embarrassment for that last team

[@gapeape3895]

having to switch to shotbolt for close range is not a negative on steel bolts, theyre made for range and velocity, same as high velocoty ammo

[@Yorsem]

I just don't understand why the steelbolt flies faster and "truer" than regular wooden shaft bolt when steel is heavier LOL

[@HamMobox]

I think thats just (actual real) physics haha - don't quote me, but the heavier the object the straighter it flies (unlike the way crytek implemented bullet drop)

[@basilinogaming7830]

The weight doesn’t matter it’s only the air resistance and velocity but we all know that crytek doesn’t give a damn about physics

[@nOseGoPro]

miss hornetloweredlul

[@hoteltrivago.3034]

I feel like instead of doing reduced damage it either should have had a longer reload or just reduced ammo. I mean it’s not like the crossbow has ever been OP lol.

[@IDemoAlone]

Nice vid 🔥

[@Podjie]

Fun fact about the steel bolt is that it flies so straight that you shouldn't use the horizontal prongs for elevation, instead you triangulate the three sight prongs, the middle of that triangle is where the steel bolt flies. Makes it that much more complicated considering you have to hit headshots beyond 25 meters with it.

[@NoobSaibotVII]

Fun fact is that is how the crossbow sight always worked and shot.

[@skuawill1820]

just noticed latency 10. How tf? I didn't think of croatia having fast net.

[@sorinmanea8532]

He lives in Germany where Crytek has its servers so obviously much less ping

[@LeMrAlpaca]

the fact that you pay for less DMG with the crossbow, wtf was crytek thinking?

[@RealLeskot]

I wonder how long it will take them to fix the map crash bug... Also, the new bolt / crossbow type is unnecessary imo.

[@steadygaming7737]

Says in today's patch notes, map bug was fixed

[@squeezyjibbs6643]

Instead of the new crossbow type, they should have given us the ability to dual-wield hand crossbows.

[@netherphantom6805]

I don't think the steel bolt is that bad based on the footage

[@c2wgamingyt367]

They aren't when you are playing with other people but as a solo who pushes squads like hornet it probably isn't the best

[@Thugzor-uk6wb]

It needs to be able to one shot close range in some capacity otherwise there is no reason to run this ever other than for memes

[@bobzthabarbarian]

It has the ability to 1HK to the body. I think the dmg is like 190ish. I think the thing is shotbolt just outshines all the other ammo types for the crossbow. The steel bolts have less damage than regular bolts. But can fly further and faster.

[@RalfG999]

Crossbow is still the cheapest slug out there 😂 imo crossbow is a better romero

[@NunexTK]

Why don't you just use your hidden crytek partner benefits or the admin console to make it viable smh
