And what would you do with a pointless bow? Shoot Stev- wait, wrong game. I mean, you see flying bikes, futuristic tanks, cars with machine guns on them, a futuristic-minigun-looking thing around you and you come out of the ammunition with.. a bow? really? 

 

I don't think it would have a place in GTAO (short of LeakyLine's animal-hunting suggestion). "Current Gen" is nearing its endgame, and I don't imagine Rockstar would put the effort in to create or swap animations from RDO to allow bow usage. 

 

It's a shame that most of the DLCs and releases of both vehicles and weapons have trumped everything that has come before, meaning that if you don't own the latest thing, you won't be competitive.

The crossbow was my favourite weapon in Half Life 2. I yes to bows.

[NULL AND VOID]

I'd rather there be a harpoon for certain weaponized vehicles... They copied enough from Mad Max.. Might as well let us harpoon players and sling them over our car. 

 

Not sure how I would feel if Peter Pan shot me with an arrow from a rooftop..then jump on his oppressor mk2 and text me from his blackberry.. Not buying it

The op mk2 doesn't make any sense at all, yet we still have it..  

It makes a whole lot of sense if you understand that the only reason why it exists is to annoy other players and to enable griefers.

 

Yes, it's a great tool for grinders too, but it's main selling point, up until the cooldown nerf, was to pester and annoy other players.

The bow is fun in RDR2, sure, why not

[docpain222]

A bow with explosives attached to it, that would be fun

It makes a lot of sense from R* view but it doesn't make to much sense from a lot of peoples view

Pretty sure I've seen you say the op mk2 doesn't make sense either so I'm sure you can find a way to make a compound bow make sense also if you really want to

It makes as much sense as adding pistols with silencers - Good for sneaking missions.
It makes as much sense as adding melee weapons, up-n-atomizers, muskets or any other new weapon - Cause variety makes the game more interesting. 

I always said that having bows / crossbows / harpoon guns would be pretty fun in this game. You could impale npcs to walls. 

edit: Also they could add some new gimmick ability to it so its not so "pointless", just like they did with that tomahawk. Or they could add different arrow types just like in rdr2. EMP arrow would be pretty useful probably.

The thing about bow is that it will be hard to make it as game braking as Op Mk2, so why not? Some people will like it and it does no harm at all.

Yeah it would need new animations but I'm sick of that argument, GTAO alone is a billion dollar game, they can afford to go the distance and then some, it seems like laziness is their biggest roadblock.

When you have a game where high-heels break a whole host of animations and yet are a fundamental part of the female character, you just know that laziness is in full force with this company. You can't even press the lift buttons if you're wearing high-heels.

 

Every time I drink a Whiskey in-game, I feel like drinking a whole bottle in real life to dull the pain my poor character must be feeling as her heels are thrust into the concrete again.

That’s weird because the start up screen says “April 2nd”

I know I've posted this easily a dozen times, but... I wish they'd just drop the Open Wheel creator tools. Even if it was a small update with that and that alone I wouldn't complain. That being said, there are almost certainly at least a handful of unreleased cars just sitting on a HD somewhere at R* HQ. Why not add the creator, 2 or 3 cars, maybe some Pandemic 2020 shirts, and if they really wanted to spoil us, a weapon like it was the good old days of 2013/14..

Your blip could be hidden while holding it perhaps?

100%. Off radar with Bow equipped. Add a skill level to it in the skill section. The higher you push your skill to 100, the quicker and more accurate you are with the bow. Bow upgrade options open up at skill level 50, 75, 90 & 100. 
You can also attatch other things to player kill count like used to be with the LSPD tint and guns.. 500 kills get a rambo bandana.. 2,500 kills you move silently, 5,000 kills for advanced animation in stalking & stealth mechanics.. 7,500 kills your on screen indicators are removed..10,000 kills you're forever off radar while on foot regardless of weapon. 15,000 kills and you can use your sniper rifle against NPC's without them knowing exactly where you are despite you being hidden in a bush a mile away...

In 5 minute spans, if you miss a player once with bow you appear on radar & a mugger attacks you, miss same player twice with bow and gain a permanent 1 hour bounty for $100k with enhanced map indicators like when doing businesses and all NPCS function as muggers chasing you with knives to rob and kill you. Miss same player three times with bow to have a permanent max wanted level for 3 weeks, all businesss get raided, endless amounts of hostile lazer jets and buzzards, 75% of your bank account is robbed and you get evicted from all of your properties, your standard & special vehicles are all repo'd and when this time period ends, your now former assistant tracks you down and runs you over with their car., jumps out, beats you with a bat, drugs you and throws you in the trunk of their car, drives you off to a bridge up in the mountain ranges, rambles about their MBA and not being given enough opportunities and during this time you gotta complete a minigame in order to escape, if you fail, they chuck you off the bridge and you are met with permadeath. If you escape, they will then rob the rest of your bank account, leaving you with absolutely nothing and everytime you play, they will send hit squads after you randomly, could be when on heists or missions or even just buying gloves. Gang members will attempt to carjack you everytime they see you, if they are successful your vehicle is lost forever, no insurance can save you, in fact they now refuse to insure your vehicles. All dockworkers & construction workers will chase and fight you on sight. Hookers will attack your car with pipes and bats. All of this continues for the rest of the game's lifespan.


This would make it very hard. I would play more than 2 months out of the year if this was implemented.  Great idea @AUScowboy

Will result in permanent off-radar glitches and I'm not even talking PC. Otherwise nice ideas.

Damn, that escalated quickly. From bow kills to hookers and dockers hunting you down. I see staying at home... let's say boosts creativity.

 

All my folks here, this is the serious PSA: due to the possible disruption in production/ supply chains and high demand for latex gloves, we may have some issues with buying condoms. It is time to diversify your toilet paper portfolio, these things will come in handy. Link.

Hello Mr. Rambo.

The whole point of a bow is stealth surely given we already have loads of things that explode?

Would anybody else be interested in a compound bow? It could do critical damage at close range, be used as a stealth weapon for the very few actual stealth scenarios in game, and would obviously be the second slowest weapon to reload after the musket. Of course R* would probably insist on explosive arrows and forced tacticool poo poo. Just an average compound bow, with maybe NV/thermal scope would be great. Yeah it would need new animations but I'm sick of that argument, GTAO alone is a billion dollar game, they can afford to go the distance and then some, it seems like laziness is their biggest roadblock.

 

I really do love the ceramic pistol and Navy revolver, but they just feel like a tease... we need more whole cloth new, non MkII guns. Programmable AR, the cut MG and sniper, pump shotty with wood finish. That's not even getting into melee weapons like a chainsaw, katana, or a classic flamethrower with backpack. 

About new mechanics, i just think that R* could give us new npc mechanics, bcz those bussiness that you have with npc's inside, like nightclubs or arcades, seems quite ghostly. In the first, ok, you have dancing mechanics, but, the npc's don't move around the place, neither you can interact with them like in the ballad of gay tony, (it pains everytime i think about the waste potential of nightclubs mini-games and we get none) but the second one, it seems it was really lazy...npc's inside an arcade that don't play in the arcade machines...they're just there, withouth moving either, seems very "legit"...it's another place that seems quite ghostly, bcz, in an era where everyone can afford owning a personal arcade, you don't see interiors full of players, so at least they could make npc's filling that purpose of bring some "life" into your bussinesses open tho the public (npc's).
