Ok I have noticed that there is a big difference between a long bow and a crossbow in shadow run
The difference is: Crossbows have a set strength minimum and damage. There does not seem to be any way to change it. They can never ever have a higher strength minimum or better damage code. Except by using special bolts. Why is that? By the ranges there should be some way to get a better crossbow. However by the five pound cannon there is not. |
