All these crazy suggestions like “make bows use special ammo” or “make bows 3 tap”, both of these would make them completely useless [i]anyway[/i].
They will never be able to balance a primary weapon like this.
So just ban it.
Edit- so it’s clear, I don’t give a -blam!- about bows personally. But this is the best option lol
-
Bow themselves aren't the issue but bow swap is On the same level does HC need to be removed for the same reason ?
-
Hey I just want to say your going to get a lot of ragers by saying your opinion is the best do what you want with that information just be warned.
-
Just remove wall hack with wishender bow problem fixed ,no weapon should let you see through walls in pvp only abilities since they have a cooldown
-
Wishender is an exotic PVP bow and it should be good. For years it wasn't. When I use it I don't understand why people double peek me. Just turn around and go another way!
-
The jims won’t like this one
-
I been tearin em up with Jade Rabbit 😂
-
Don’t double peak. Push them from angles with cover. I don’t like bows. But I’m sure there are people who find every weapon archetype “oppressive”. You can counter everything in this game if you’re willing to use your brain and adapt

-
Take cover.
-
Bows are annoying 6v6.
-
"It's not a HC, Shotgun, or sniper, please nerf!!" 🙄
-
Just take cover, bro.
-
Agree
-
Use a pulse rifle, if you miss or push you are dead, if he misses the shot then he is dead, its a 50/50.

Edited by COMBATICUS: 10/10/2023 12:40:38 AMEf it, let's just pillow fight -__- In a game that's a cowboy fantasy space shooter. Most like to play as if it was CoD. Honestly, the best solution is to make a permanent mode that uses nothing but weapons, and maybe 1 grenade and 1 super. That's the only way to make the most happy. But it'll never happen because bungie doesn't want to divide the players. I personally love the whole ability aspect of the game. I wish there was more of it personally I know your talking about bows, I'm just stating there's always something that someone wants removed from pvp. It's either abilities, supers, and now we going after bows.
-
If bows are STATISTICALLY a problem, then Bungie will almost certainly nerf them. Bungie has stated that they take community feedback into account when deciding what to nerf and buff, so bows could end up on the chopping block regardless of whether or not they *actually* deserve it. Personally, I think bows are probably fine. They're more commonly used in Trials this season than in past seasons, but I've rarely run into them in Comp. If they were truly "OP," then I would expect to see them a lot more in Comp, especially against good teams. Regardless, Bungie is never going to remove a weapon type from the game, and that's actually a horrible solution
-
Agreed bows are crutch
-
Just put on a sniper or start apeing. Special weapons >
-
Bungie could nerf bows, but they as a whole are only one buff/nerf away from being the best/worst PvP archetype in the game. Kinda hard to balance them as a whole except for outliers like LeMon and Wish Ender. 😐 Also, they aren’t the instant win button people think they are. They have at least a 1s draw time that either leaves you vulnerable to being shot at or gives the enemy time to back out of the fight into cover. (The latter can be VERY annoying, trust me.) My view is that bows are just the flavor of the month rn due to people either trying out the new nightfall bow this season in PvP, trying to complete that seasonal challenge that requires them to kill other players with bows (and other specific weapons), or trying to do both scenarios at the same time. I can see why you don’t like this “meta shift” happening, but just wait til next season and people probably won’t use them anymore. 🤷🏿♂️
-
The PvP does not know any better. They cannot bring balance or health to the mode. Nothing but cheese lol.
-
All this peak shooting leads me to believe players are wall-hacking, when they’re not using wish Ender.
-
Just nerf oathkeepers to the ground problem solved
-
Edited by The Hermit IX: 10/13/2023 6:18:12 PMThey are annoying but they can’t remove them. Every class should have an exotic that buffs their use. Lol Point with swashbuckler is one hit kill so IB is full of players farming the best roll.
-
Easiest way to balance a bow is kill the body dmg and keep the head dmg the same then at least they take some level of skill
-
🤣🤣🤣🤣 good bait
-
I can guarantee that almost everyone that vehemently complains about Bows in PvP is using Igneous Hammer right now, sees it as a completely balanced weapon and has probably been using Hand Cannon + Shotgun for the last 5 years straight.
