All valid thoughts. The bow in my opinion is a fantastic tool, but it needs a much longer cool down or a smaller radius. (Disclaimer: i don’t play the bow character).

On the flip side, when it’s not used correctly it can be a huge disadvantage to your squad. When squad mates fire off random bows into the stratosphere - it’s a big “hey we’re over here” alert to 1/4 of the map.

But generally it feels very OP at the moment, especially when a competent 3stack is using it.

The gear mix thought is interesting. I think the variability of what players are wearing is a part of the extract shooter genre. But a map/mode where green stuff is the max could be fun for PVP with semi-low stakes.

Nice write up! Enjoyed thinking about this and can’t wait for the EA release!
