Pros:
walk at normal speed while scoped
faster firing speed
10% more ammo
No-scope headshots
Cons:
minicrits instead of crits on headshot
-50% slower reload time
-50% weapon switch
cannot scope whenever
Notes:
the weapon has a four part focus meter(similar to the Vaccinator), when activating focus, you zoom in and can aim, you only get 3 focus shots before going out of zoom

that sounds good

Pros:
Charge rate +15% faster
Charges automaticly (regardless if you're zoomed in or not)
Jarate effect on bodyshots
Deals +15% more damge when fully charged (regardless of bodyshot penalties)
No unscoping after each and every shot
Arrows can be lit by Pyros or the torches at Degroot Keep
It's medieval
Cons:
Reloads -10% slower
Ammo capacity= 20 arrows
Deals -15% less damge on bodyshots
Fires tracer rounds (If it's a riffle)
Arrows leave a trail (If you're going with arrows)

nice idea m8

I thought mabye it should shot like explosive arrows/bullets. have like a 2,3 second wait untill exploding. body shot 65 damage, head shot 110 damage, also the longer the charge the further it goes (charge does not affect damage), ahy, good idea?

(+)Fires arrows instead of bullets
(+)Arrows fly 20% faster than huntsman arrows and have less arch.
(+)10% damage bonus
(+)All shots can headshot regardless of whether scoped or not
(-)Arrows have travel time
(-)Shots can be reflected
(-)Arrows cannot be lit (theyre inside the barrel)
(-)+75 longer reload time
(-)No charge or bonus damage while zooming
(-)50% less zoom

Basically it would be a medium between bows and rifles as a crossbow should be. The arrows are more powerful and faster than those fired from a bow, but less powerful than rifle bullets since they don't benefit from a spiraled barrel (the definition of rifle).

Crossbows traditionally are very difficult to reload so it would take longer to do so, and since the arrows don't benefit from rifled grooves like bullets, zooming in would solely be for aiming, not to increase power. The mideval styled scope would have primitive technology compared to modern rifles and so it wouldnt zoom in as far, making aiming while zoomed more of a challenge by comparison, but still better at range than not zooming at all..

this should totally be a crossbow for the sniper, that way he can be even better on degroot keep
it should have more damage than the huntsman, but twise as long a reload as the crusaders

on headshot +700,000% more damage
on miss - 10 frames per second
on bodyshot YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ .EXE CRASH OUT OF TF2


if anyone gets this reference, i love you

Agreed

+40% Speed Boost

crusaders cross bow with a scope and no healing
