I use Xbow to solo 50% of the time. It just constantly performs so well. It intimidates teams after their first teammate dies right off. It's cheap and makes a lot of cash for me. It teaches good rotation habits like Romero does. I love it so much.
love the crossbow. still have to learn to lead in with shotbolt. therefore I prefer normal bolt since it has much less drop to it hence makes it easier to play / aim. GREAT GUIDE THO!
@@Whityyy so I finally saw it and it's great as I told first. Nice strat with pretending on regular dynamite as it was decoy. For me as a solo it's always the biggest problem to finish the fight. When trio see the solo they always push hard but once two of them downed the last one turnes into passive mode and it's really annoying and risky to fight. I guess this trick may save me once. Or maybe not, but the vid is still good xD
@@lastofthevandals much appreciated! ye getting the last person can be hard, generally speaking I usually play "slow/smart" until I get the first kill and then start picking up the aggresion and once I am at the last player I try to put them under as much pressure as possible so they don't mentally reset after just losing their team mates (consumables/burning team mates)
Great video! One question for you: At 18:37, did you notice that you did a non-bolt thrower reload there? Is this a bug? Looks like it happened right when you ran out of explosive ammo; I wonder if that is connnected.
This is the case whenever you switch ammo types when you don't already have a bolt loaded. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's intended, but that's when it happens.
im back again to check out this ultimate guide for the crossbow after after some great luck with it last night, was able to kill 2 our 3 trios as a solo, but need help killing that last hunter. Hoping this guide helps me finish the wipe. Ultimate Guides is great for SEO also, more ultimate guides please
Glad the crossbow is working for you 👍 if you usually struggle with the last player try bringing flash grenades and use them to make the last kill as easy as possible
@@mohnkuchenzentrale not wrong :P but crossbow has such a high skill ceiling that you can really make the difference. If you ever play against a good shotbolt player you will feel like this isnt even fair
Liked the video, but I disagree on not splitting the shotbolt and regular bolts. Regular bolts have a higher speed which is better at distance, on a moving target at distance, or when you can only quick peek and fire a shot before ducking back into cover. Shotbolts are the more reliable one tap as you don't have to worry about hitting arms when someone is ADSing. I split it out like this: Regular Bolt: * Somewhat distant target that's aware of you and dancing hard or dancing around cover. * Quick flick shots where you can only be exposed very briefly (e.g. jump peek a doorway and fire a fast shot). Shotbolt: * Close range fighting * Holding angle on a corner * Distant shot on a mostly stationary/unaware target or a target that is moving predictably * Firing from an elevated position * Playing around fences/railings * Wallbangs Splitting the ammo types gives you the benefits of both, allows special ammo crates to double the return bolt volume, and maintains the crossbow's usefulness against AI. You also get 17 total shots which is only 2 down from the 19 you get without special ammo, a difference overcome the first time you hit a special ammo box assuming you're down 2 on each side.
Not sure if compliment or actually thinking those are 3 stars, I stream all my games without hiding mmr, so I can guarantee no 3 stars were abused for this content 🙏
What are your top small and medium sidearms for the Crossbow? I rotate between Pax Claw, Uppercut and UpperMat. Claw is nice to free up melee for decoys imo
My top small slot secondaries in general are uppercut and the new army fmj - my medium slot favorites recently have been the bornheim match with high velocity ammo and uppercut precision deadeye
@@Whityyy Gotcha- rn I'm a fan of the Scotty P for a budget secondary for the Hunting Bow Appreciate the replies man! Thanks for the insight and the solid vid!
crossbow ist besser. Bow ist eine Waffe welche nur gegen schlechte Spielder funktioniert. Du musst den Bogen jedes mal zurückziehen und bist dadurch stark eingeschränkt in deiner mobilität was für high elo gameplay nicht funktioniert. Klar kannst du mal eine gute runde mit dem bogen haben aber tendenziel wirst du mehr verlieren stat mit dem crossbow. crossbow hat außerdem eine höhere 1 tap range (32-33m) und sehr starke special ammo (shotbolt/explo bolts) bogen ist evtl ganz okay als quartermaster utility item mit frag arrows oder concertina
@@Whityyy I don't want to offend you in any way I love your gameplay and the content you create. Just the night map match the game just looks so clean I guess you just edited the colors after the game. I hope you understand

Very true, I always refer to it like a tiny nitro 😅 very strong if used correctly
The quick throw of the dyno is actually a really sick fake out. Disgustingly awesome gameplay, guide, and commentary man!
thank you 🙏 ye sometimes it works great to make people move and you dont get caught off guard while cooking the dynamite
Just a thought here but a short section over side arms, tools and consumables that pair well with crossbow would be nice :)

Didn't saw it yet but I bet it's great! When someone mastered Xbow it's so satisfying to play and even more to watch if you are fan of Xbow as I am
thank you for dropping a comment already! Appreciate the support and I fully agree with you crossbow is such satisfying weapon to play

your gameplay is outstanding. also great guide to crossbows. I will try and see how it goes :)

Great video. Love these weapon videos. I definitely would like to get better with the crossbow.
Appreciate it! Next will be the tiny crossbow hahaha
@@Whityyy Nice. Really looking forward to that one. 👍

@@WhityyyPRO TIP! Thank you king
Thanks for using my suggestion you earned a sub
appreciate it and of course! When I see an idea I like in the comment section I try to work on it
I like to use shotbolt + explosive bolt with 2 ammo boxes. Can do a little bit of everything
100% possible if you wanna commit to the ammo boxes, might even be better with 1.13 with the new ammo system
Very nice! Never tried the shotbolt so far because I prestiged everytime before unlocking them. Will give it a try as soon as I reach rank 100 xD
100% should, honestly one of the best weapons in the game if you invest some time into it
@@Whityyy Well ... that applies for most weapons in Hunt no :D ?
@@mohnkuchenzentrale not wrong :P but crossbow has such a high skill ceiling that you can really make the difference.
If you ever play against a good shotbolt player you will feel like this isnt even fair
@@Whityyy I get your point :))
Def one of my favorite weapons in the game. May I ask when and where you stream? I’m on the east coast USA.
I usually start streaming around noon EST and then go until 5-6 pm est. I stream mo/tues/thurs/fri/sun
Just realized that you still get the slow reload animation when you change bolt type, or when it is empty?
great video!
Ye when you swap the bolt on an empty crossbow then you dont get bolt thrower animation, not sure if intended or just overlooked
@@Whityyy gotta be overlooked, doesn't happen on hand crossbow

For long range shots you should be using ur secondary
@@Whityyy long range relative to the usable range of the crossbow.
@@TheWanderersWit enjoy ur 50/50 ammo
Nice, nice. 👍
🙏 thank you
Looks like 6* guy stomping 3* dwellers. Too smooth
Not sure if compliment or actually thinking those are 3 stars, I stream all my games without hiding mmr, so I can guarantee no 3 stars were abused for this content 🙏
i think there is no benefit to use the normal bolts. (excluding that you cant pick up the bolts) the shot bolt is a far superior choise
I prefer shotbolt too but normal bolts are fine

@@Whityyy Ah, nice. Classics.
Have you given any of the Scottfields (& Precision) a try now that there is high velocity?
@@nickmclean4004 I like spitfire and scottfield swift (with fanning) but not my favorites (both with hv)
@@Whityyy Gotcha- rn I'm a fan of the Scotty P for a budget secondary for the Hunting Bow
Appreciate the replies man! Thanks for the insight and the solid vid!
I’ll admit I’m no good at using the crossbow but it is good.
ye crossbow is strong but also has a very high skill ceiling, fighting against a skilled shotbolt player is insanely scary
very sexy video. good tip to play like you missed your shot. can't count the times i traded because i watched my bolt go zoooooom.
Ye I learned it the hard way, died to many times watching my shotbolt go zooooooooooooooooooooooooooom as well and then get killed
Was würdest du sagen ist besser Bogen oder Crossbow?
Könntest du ggf. einen Vergleich machen?
crossbow ist besser. Bow ist eine Waffe welche nur gegen schlechte Spielder funktioniert.
Du musst den Bogen jedes mal zurückziehen und bist dadurch stark eingeschränkt in deiner mobilität was für high elo gameplay nicht funktioniert. Klar kannst du mal eine gute runde mit dem bogen haben aber tendenziel wirst du mehr verlieren stat mit dem crossbow.
crossbow hat außerdem eine höhere 1 tap range (32-33m) und sehr starke special ammo (shotbolt/explo bolts)
bogen ist evtl ganz okay als quartermaster utility item mit frag arrows oder concertina
@@Whityyy vielen Dank für die schnelle und ausgiebige Antwort!!
you know someone is great player when he uses a x-bow instead an avt
couldnt agree more! In my opinion the best players are dangerous with every weapon not just meta loadouts
yo next video maybe about reshade settings?
I dont use reshade, and I wouldnt be suprised if it's getting banned soon
@@Whityyy I don't want to offend you in any way I love your gameplay and the content you create. Just the night map match the game just looks so clean I guess you just edited the colors after the game. I hope you understand
@@melihyavuzhan6485 not offeneded. Check at 14:22 I did a slow "swipe transition" so you guys see that it's edited and not recorded like that
god bless 1.13 for free trait respec... bolt thrower 24/7 :)
100%
Good loadout but you arent using Cain or Headsman 😥
sorry I am not that talented yet
