Match would have literaly been cleaner without that crossbow. Most Times racha got hit was when he double peeked after missing with a bolt and fixed it with uppercut. 😅😅 Next Time only buy crossbow maybe? It would force him to aim more carefully when there is no pistol to fix things with.
In the next episode... "would you believe that double fists are the best weapon in the game?" watch and see him take out whole lobbies without any guns
Rachta: *shoots crossbow bolt at far away enemy* Also Rachta: *quickly cycles to uppercut and headshots enemy before the bolt makes contact* Also also Rachta: “Guys the crossbow is so good!”
1/2 shotbolt, 1/2 normal bolt for me. Being able to replenish ammo from picking used bolts is nice, plus regular bolts do a ton of dmg vs bosses yet are still great for pvp.
Unless you go for longish range kills or for wallbangs, I don't even really see the point of the shotbolt. Regular bolts do the same thing except when you're unlucky enough to hit the arm. And they're silent
For like the last 5 years, i've been using the crossbow as if it had really high bullet drop. Didn't know it was a straight line for like 50 meters until recently...
hand down my most played and favorite loadout is shotbolt with uppercut or new army fmj. my favorite moments are when you're trying to wallbang jumping and repositioning around a boss lair as a solo and the enemy team starts voiping saying "wtf are you shooting us with?" a lot of ppl dont even know what the shoitbolt is or what it sounds like so they're just perplexed when they're getting wallbanged by this strange sound.
Remember an argument I had with a lad claiming the crossbow was the worst weapon in the game(unironic). Despite it having a fairly long one-shot range with regular bolts and a good reload with bolt thrower. Without it it's like a silenced romero. Adding in ammo types it goes from being a silenced romero to a beast of a weapon.
I love the shotbolt but I've been using it less in recent months, since it feels really inconsistent some days. One day it'll work great, the next I'll shoot someone in the back on the ladder, get a hit marker, and itll blast the bullets into the wall through them because it spawned them past their chest. Or I'll hit someone dead-on and get all arm shots.(Which is more of a me issue, but with central blood splatter it feels like being cheated a kill!) -- That said, It's still very fun to use and my favorite ammo type.
I preffer half normal + half explosive, for high-enough one shot range potential and breaching doors in lairs and get some splash damage for my teammates. Nice videos! Shoutouts from EvilDogma!
Split shotbolt with explosive bolt and an ammo box is easily the best crossbow build in the game, no real reason to do anything else on it I feel. The dual-ammo rearm from the ammo box and the versatility of switching to shotbolt or explosive depending on the scenario is really valuable. It's also really good on low-trait hunters since you can very trivially kill meatheads to pick-up traits for easy points.
@@atumalaka4835Yes but unless you are prestige 100 or dont prestige, good luck unlocking that thing in first place. I think that balance it up. Plus its no stealth weapon you can hear its shotbolt if in same compound. Its like vetterli silencer. Take ages to unlock but once you got it its really fun
Been playing shotbolt quite a lot for a couple of weeks now. It's actually so strong once you get decent with it. People also tend to under estimate it. They hear a crossbow being fired if you miss and push you. Then they just get 1 tapped. Even got a double kill with a single bolt once, since it can pen players like spitzer
lol i knew it was you! i told my team after that this guy plays like Rachta, also i knew that you was trying crossbow recently, but they didn't believe 😄 gg, first time saw you in action, was fun ❤ p.s. team from Weeping stone Mill, game 3, i was the meat head guy inside the building, iron saved me first time kek
They should honestly make the wood penetration of shotbolt better, there's been times where I'd wall bang someone THREE times thru a wall at like 10m range (while they're hugging the wall), and I wouldn't get the kill not even after 3 bolts :(
I'll always go with normal bolt and shotbolt. Normal Bolt for range, since I don't have the skill to work with the high drop of shotbolt. And shotbolt for wall penetration
Crossbow has high skill ceiling, but it isn't practical. Why would I take a slow muzzle velocity with a finite range, adjust for drop and movement, and have 1 shot, when I could just take mozin spitzer and headshot at 200m?
11:58 this happens to me sometimes, for some reason when I make a quick turn with my mouse the camera spins at lightspeed and I lose track of where I am, I guess it's a bug related to mouse acceleration or something, it's really annoying.
Bro please do a video on keybinds. I know you play on a russion (i think) keyboard but it will still help us english keyboard players with an idea of where to map our buttons. All my weapons, tools and consumables are all numbers. I dont know where else to put them.
After 15 failed attempts in a row trying to kill someone with one bolt with this ammo i gave up. But since then i always applaud hunters who one shot me. Even though a little part of my soul vanishes into the bayou everytime that happens.
Shotbolt is definitely the best ammo for xbow. Infinite oneshot range. You just have to learn the drop, if you think regular bolts oneshot more often, that's your problem, aim higher. Both of the others are fun but they just don't have as many benefits.
Using an native-american to represent traditional Swiss weaponry - no doubt because the native Americans are adjacent to "Crossbow"s with their "Bow"s. Outrageous.
I really like the crossbow, but I hate the explosive crossbow with a passion. It literally takes like 0 skill to hit people with it. You just have shoot an explosive bolt Like 0.5m at the enemies feet and they blow up. Shot Bolt and regular bolts are way more skillfull than the explosive bolts. I'm not even mad, if I'm becoming killed by normal bolts or shot bolts. The best bolts are the OG regular bolts in my opinion. By the way I'm speaking from a console point view, where people are most likeley to use freaking explosive bolts. Not gonna lie 8/10 crossbows you encounter on console it's an explosive crossbow. The Explosive crossbow should not be in the console version at all. It's the most annoying custom Ammo type from the crossbow to fight against. Because you don't even hear a fuse going of, you just that rather silent shot and the boom. Either you Blow up or you barely survive. But since I know Crytek will Not fix the issue, by taking the explosive bolts out of the console version, my Idea for balancing the explosive bolts is to add a lighting animation before the explosive bolt is actually shot. But hopes that an lighting animation for the explosive bolts is actually coded into the game are low.
Back in the day I swore by shotbolt as a 1 shot nitro. It was nerfed in pellet spread at some point and rarely 1 taps now even if it double tap hits arm and body point blank. Explosive all the way for now.
I love the Xbow, all varieties. However, to pretend that it is better overall to the nitro express is totally disingenuous in my opinion. Buuuuut the skill ceiling is super high and I love it for that
You didn’t get the entire point. You can get good at aiming with slow velocity, no one said it’s possible to hit every shot. If you feel like shotbolt is all luck you need to actually try to learn it :)
@@rolfschneider9138 I think you missed my point. You can have all the skill in the world being able to land long distance shots, but with no luck you won't hit anything. Otherwise, it is a great short distance weapon like a shotgun, which is what 90% of the video was anyway.
At least with a bow you can miss and get a follow up, yes it requires a bit of extra skill so you aren't caught without it being pulled back But if you miss with a crossbow you need to kill with secondary or run away to reload So with crossbow you need to be good with it and your secondary while you can technically just use only the bow
As a long time now player I would have to disagree, the crossbow has more punishment than the bow with a longer reload and not as much utility as the bow if you use double shot bolt along with major drop off while the bow has minimal in compounds and always surprises me how accurate it is.
Personally I prefer the free movement you get with crossbow and hate when my bow doesn't OHK when close range, but hey, bow has infinite headshot range and less drop so it could be mastered as well 👀
Tomorrow I am back from vacation so get ready for the freshest conent! 1.15 COMING SOON
Oh yeahhhhh
Let's gooo
Finally man!
honestly think you could play anything and just delete an entire lobby, you are the fruits of your endevours man. crazy!!
>"crossbow video"
>eight uppercut kills and two derringer kills in the first game
Was looking for this comment
Eight Uppercut kills and two CLUTCH derringer*
lol I was thinking the same thing.... stupid attempt at a crosbow video.

Funny mfs

1/2 shotbolt, 1/2 normal bolt for me. Being able to replenish ammo from picking used bolts is nice, plus regular bolts do a ton of dmg vs bosses yet are still great for pvp.
exact same reason I do the split, that and not hunting down special ammo

@siegfriedmordrake3229 shot bolt adds some pen to your crossbow. That way, they can't hide from you behind some paper wall.
@@NimiKhan yeah, that's why I mentioned wallbangs
@@AstralWeebo normal bolts are still special ammo
This was a great Uppercut Precision video!
11:58 Damn! this movement is awesome. I even slowed down speed to 0.25 to see it perfectly. He dodged your attacks twice
For like the last 5 years, i've been using the crossbow as if it had really high bullet drop. Didn't know it was a straight line for like 50 meters until recently...
Today I learned... :D just played 1000 hours...no need to know that 😂😭
I spam crossbow load outs like nobody’s business, I adore this weapon
That Reaper ducking the bolt was hilarious
insane reaction time haha
I like shotbolt for wallbangs but use normal bolts in the other slot for silent kills
Another Rachta crossbow video where he wipes the whole lobby with an uppercut.
lmao

I like to run normal bolts usually on cross bow, feels like a nice slug, with increased 1 tap range at the cost of Muzzle Velocity
The shotbolt is just so good. The only time I haven't one-tapped somebody was through a wall. Armshot, headshot, doesn't matter with a shotbolt!
is so good that i think is kinda broken, like, you can buy i "nerfed" nitro for 90 hunt dolars

It's the best weapon on paper but since most players lack the skill to use it effectively it's not. Also explosive bolts are the most fun.
I feel normal bolt is more consistent because even if you a little off with your aim the bleed applies a lot of pressure
lol i knew it was you! i told my team after that this guy plays like Rachta, also i knew that you was trying crossbow recently, but they didn't believe 😄 gg, first time saw you in action, was fun ❤ p.s. team from Weeping stone Mill, game 3, i was the meat head guy inside the building, iron saved me first time kek

RachtaZ : Video about the Crossbow
What I see : Absolute destruction of players with uppercut
Cool game
Normal bolt for me. I feel like shotbolt one-taps less often.
Its the higher drop off at range probablt giving you leg shots. But normal bolt doesnt 1 shot to chest past a certain fairly close range
11:28 yooooooo what the fuck was that shot lmaooo
I only use explosive crossbow, the benefactor and with 3 concertina bombs and a regen shot.
Mixing shot and explosive bolt makes you a complete menace to fight lol
Hunt in a Nutshell: 16:47 XD
i was going to bed til this video get uploaded XD
Should probably go Mosin obrez. It just has better stats all around except stability
Gee, I wonder what's better - bolt that you need to aim like god or bolt that you barely need to aim in general direction of the enemy.
Crossbow has high skill ceiling, but it isn't practical. Why would I take a slow muzzle velocity with a finite range, adjust for drop and movement, and have 1 shot, when I could just take mozin spitzer and headshot at 200m?
I normally play my Crossbow with both Sjotbolt and Explosive, with sparks Pistol for range
I've been 1 tapped in the arm through a window by a shotbolt crossbow that thing is just ridiculous
11:58 this happens to me sometimes, for some reason when I make a quick turn with my mouse the camera spins at lightspeed and I lose track of where I am, I guess it's a bug related to mouse acceleration or something, it's really annoying.
Hey congrats on 100k!
Is believe you… at least in your hands
The reaper matrixed that shot
I wish there was poison bolts like hand crossbow
Explosive and shotbolt in one crossbow
With a ping of 10 , you have a advantage over 95% of all other players
I've seen a video of someone mastering the explosive bolt and it was glorious
Explosive crossbow - It's a granade launcher ^^
Rachta
Not killing enemy over 100m with shotbolt doesn’t mean you don’t master it 😅😅😅
Shotbolt and bow are my fav
"Personally i suck with this weapon" THEN WHAT AM I? :D
One of my favourite ammo type in the game, strong and cool
Bro please do a video on keybinds. I know you play on a russion (i think) keyboard but it will still help us english keyboard players with an idea of where to map our buttons. All my weapons, tools and consumables are all numbers. I dont know where else to put them.

my favorite YT channel
Love the conntent @RachtaZ, Using crossbow shotbolt got me 6 stars.. hehe Very little has it let me down
I like explosive crossbow because it feels like the noob tube from call of duty.
The movement of that guy at 11:57 has me losing my mind
Been killed by this crossbow loadout a couple times, fair to say its the most annoying shit when it comes outta nowhere.
Shotgun bolt is really good
checks second monitor before every peek, seems legit
i have 2600hs ingame and i never play shotbolt :)
might be click bait, mabe not
but cross is my top 3 weapons in hunt, i like
No aim, no brain - I'm xbow explo main.
my fav shotgun in the game
Ratcha posts video about Crossbow, all kills in the videos with UpperCut))
sice i scored a double kill with single bolt i always go for explosive :)
I neeeed to play penny deringer more often
The weapon I played the most for 4000 hours.
This is my excuse why I still suck.
I have really shit aim, but my favorite weapon is crossbow xD it is what it is.
Shotbolt is definitely the best ammo for xbow. Infinite oneshot range. You just have to learn the drop, if you think regular bolts oneshot more often, that's your problem, aim higher. Both of the others are fun but they just don't have as many benefits.
when I made a video about a crossbow but killed 80 percent with an uppercut
Died to a leg shot from 32 meters...
RachtaZ doesn't seem to play crossbows much.
It's true
Crossbow goombus weapon
I don't want to see explosive bolt anywhere near me, don't even mention it
This is a mini nitro
Using an native-american to represent traditional Swiss weaponry - no doubt because the native Americans are adjacent to "Crossbow"s with their "Bow"s. Outrageous.
I use skins for thumbnail based off if I used them already, not based on weapon

I have far better results with the shotbolt than with the nitro. Does this mean I'm a better player than nitro boys ? 😆

Sorry sorry

im a normal bolt kinda guy for myself :)
Before that massive explosive crossbow nerf and then the ammo resupply nerf I was a crossbow main. Now I hardly touch it.

Cant be the best weapon in the game if its the highest skill ceiling weapon im the game lol
Explosive ammo are just for people who has no aim and shoot the ground. Brainless gameplay with explosives.
Garbage weapon, only useful in shotgun range and even then, it's better to play Terminus or Crown instead.
