Any Injection Arrows (or Crossbolter?)


General Discussion


Howdy.

I'm curious, with all the special arrows, and some showing up in specific runs etc.
Are there any Injection arrows? I love the aesthetic of a Crossbolter, and I would love my biohacker to get to use them.

though, I suppose that wouldn't let me use grenade arrows anyway. But that'd be fine.

There is no way to add Injection to a weapon right, in a way that is valid for Biohackers's class abilities (that bonus accuracy! and biohacks!). The injection fusion doesn't work for the class abilities (and 1/day).

I'm really hoping there are obscure Injection Arrows somewhere that'll let me use Bolters for fun. (and occasional grenade arrows on tap). Just love the idea of an injection arrow sniper shot with a crossbolter.


Having reviewed the relevant data..
None to be found.

however..
This is an awesome idea worth adding to the game, in my humble opinion it's an awesome way for more "low" tech options with great roleplay built in.


I would suggest talking with your GM and seeing what they say. With the technology they have available, there is no reason they couldn't hollow out a section of the arrow head, fill it with something, and then put a "soft" metal tip on it to release the contents inside.

Now, the issue with the explosive tips is if you miss and blow up a party member(s). While it may be comical, if someones character should die because of it, they are going to be ticked. hehe. Same goes if you poison them.

If you are the GM, I would make them, and role-play it out alone to see the effects of missed shots and etc. If it's game breaking, your players are not the wiser of it, if it works out, they get new toys!

Sorry for flip-flopping here, just trying to see both sides of how this could pan out. Best of luck to you though!


Yep. I'm pondering asking about that down the line. Depends on if the leveling goes up more.
An injection Crossbow would make for a fantastic weapon for a biohacker.
Grenade arrows occasionally too.

Reload is rough, given its only ever having 2. and I dont think I know of a way for swift action reloads.

Well also at high levels the ammo usage thing is a bit nonsesnse? I guess they're like.. auto crossbows ala FF6 just rapid firing a ton?

I'd love to keep up with the "fire one arrow, with only afew before reload" but maintains the quiet natural sniping benefit.
'cause the ammo usage is also nonsense when trying to also pair it with explosive arrows or grenade arrows and such. Which gets confusuing

I'd love an injection bolter, that is similiar to the base bolter, but higher levels more damage, and a few more arrows in it, or some other method for reloading. Its unwieldy, so I'd love to build in a swift actoin reload on it.
....Yeah I may just really wanna snipe with injection xbolter from far away.
also scope range + grenade arrows is funny
