Hoth Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 I don't like the bow. I've started avoiding collecting it now when I run past it. It's hard to time shots with it unless the enemy is REALLY close and the multi-shot thingo hardly ever hits. Give me any gun except the bow! Hoth
jedi-redemption Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 i aint got the game yet but i agree. it doesnt look to good and its kind of bulky. you can neva lose with the saber.
Darth Lunatic Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 I never really used it much in the previous games. Same with this game. Only used it if my other guns ran out of ammo.
danteshors Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 Bow = POS. Damn wookie bow. It sucks, I'd rather use the stun gun against enemies unless I am right next to them.
Justus Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 I guess you are referring to the bowcaster, in which case I only use secondary fire for it and only for long ranges... came in handy on the streets of Nar Shaddaa. I never use primary fire on this weapon, never did in JK1 either. I haven't ever used this gun in multiplayer either.
RabidPlatypus Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 when I don't have a disruptor rifle I use it for long range attacks on non-moving enemies. That's about it.
StormHammer Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 I like the Bowcaster. But mostly in SP. In primary fire you can either rapidly tap the fire button, to get several shots squeezed off in a row - of course, you have to aim carefully - but it is a lot more accurate than the E-11. Or you can power it up slightly for a more powerful shot up close. I even found occasion to use the multi-bolt spread in a confined space with lots of Stormies coming at me - and I can't say I had need to use that at all in the original JK. As for the secondary fire, it's great for shooting around corners, or has a chance of hitting an enemy on the rebound off a wall directly behind, if your aim is slightly off. It is also useful for getting off a ranged shot that is pretty sure to drop an enemy, as long as your aim is dead on. And besides...I love the detail on that weapon. I only use the Disruptor for sniping, because the primary fire seems a bit weak.
turah Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 The bow rocks when shooting down tunnels or allies. Use the richocet (alternate) shot and watch em skip. Total cool shooting around corners too!
ArcaneSix Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 The bowcaster owns you! in sp only though/// the secondary fire is great because, it is a) accurate b) kills in one or two shots...on stormtroopers primary fire kinda sucks though
Smoof Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 I like the bowcaster in single player. I like using it to snipe rather than up close. It's quite useful to hit people and one shot kill them. Otherwise it sucks
aletoledo Posted March 31, 2002 Posted March 31, 2002 besides the times when you have no other weapon, the times I found the bowcaster a saving grace, was in the garbage levels, when those rodians open up a small panel. I would always kill them by richoceting into it and thus never exposed myself toany return fire.
Tarquin Posted April 1, 2002 Posted April 1, 2002 I think the bowcaster is the best weapon available for the first few levels it seems to kill more often with 1 shot than the rest of the weapons the spread fire function is sort of useless but the bouncing one is fun but now I have the lightsaber sod that gun:D
Hoth Posted April 1, 2002 Author Posted April 1, 2002 I was talking about it in MP. Sorry if I didn't make that clear Hoth
