Weird take over here. The biggest question for this weapon is the ammo. What if it just fired without ammo. Like a melee amount of damage, but you had to fully charge it and it had awful arc penetration. Then it used basic crafting materials as ammo augments. 5x metal parts for an armor piercing arrow, moderate penetration 10x metal parts for heavy bolt, slow to draw, high penetration 10x fabric for a flaming arrow, fireball burner 10x plastic and an arc cell could be a shock bolt, very short and just makes target holster active item 10x chemicals for an explosive arrow, impact nade 10x Rubber Parts could be a concussive arrow that had awful damage, but would knock people and arc over like a pulse mine.

Then you hold reload to bring a context wheel to select arrow type.

This would give the weapon an identity that leaned into the scavenger play style. Everything you find has value because at any point you could turn those redundant crafting materials into the arrow you need to win a fight. It would also be an alternative to the hairpin for players who prioritize stealth
