Increasing melee damage increases torpor done per hit. Both crossbows and compound bows are highly effective tools for hunting. A crossbow doesnt magically lose more energy than a compound unless it employs lighter. But when the target is far away, the compound bow can be a preferred choice. Downrange velocity is a matter of arrow weight. While a compound bow is not the right choice if you want to shoot at prey that is nearby. A crossbow is more expensive because of its complex structure. 300% torpor-to-damage ratio that takes effect over ten seconds, so space those hits out. The price of a compound bow ranges from 150-250 while a crossbow can cost you around 400-800. Less efficient than tranq arrows but you can keep firing until they drop since there is no torpor over time effect like with a tranq arrow.ĭon't forget that scorpions are very good for tames. Also remember that headshots do 2.5x more damage so you can either try to hit the head or avoid it as needed.Ī slingshot is also a good choice and punching is slightly better.
Space your shots out five seconds apart to allow the tranqs to run to completion and reduce total damage done. Compound bows offer higher arrow speeds and greater adjustability, while crossbows are generally easier to use and require less physical strength. Compound hits just a little bit harder than regular bows, but the regular bows have a quicker draw speed, so you can loose arrows just a bit quicker. Today’s modern crossbows are capable of producing arrow speeds anywhere from 300 - 470 f.p.s. In the end itll play similar to a suppressed single shot gun so no good for hordes but good for stealth. Plasma or explosive bolts/arrows are probably the better 2 options, poison wont do much besides make the enemy glow green (can be ok to highlight). Crossbows have the advantage of producing higher arrow speeds and kinetic energy over compound bows. Crossbow have no charge mechanic and are more like a gun.
#Compound crossbow vs crossbow full#
Partial draws do less damage than full draws so you can meter the size of the hit. Bows do more damage per second when fighting bosses or crowds, compound is the ultimate sniper as they bring more damage per shot. Since a crossbow has much draw weight that will automatically enhance your shooting capabilities, as compared to a compound bow. Crossbow Advantages: Both crossbows and compound bows are highly effective tools for hunting. A bow can be used for smaller dinos that you might worry about killing with a crossbow as it gets the same torpor to damage ratio, just less total per shot. Crossbow is my favorite for consistent damage and no wavering. A regular bow is a much better choice.Īs to what weapon to use: it depends on the dino. On a PvE server, I wouldn't waste the resources on a compound bow since build and repair cost is nuts. Compound is really only good for shooting armor-piercing metal arrows and so shouldn't be used for tranqs. Doing more damage reduces the quality of the tame.Ĭrossbow does more damage with tranq arrows than a compound bow.
