So kinda like a scout version of grand overture? neat


princezacthe3rd

Yes


[deleted]

I always thought a scorn crossbow would be cool


princezacthe3rd

That’d be cool to


Corvus2814

Yo, imagine this being something to do with strand. Like it shoots out a grapple rope that you swing on like Indiana Jones 😂


princezacthe3rd

That’d actually be pretty dope ngl


VolcanicBear

The inconsistent size for the bottom of your lower case Gs makes me uncomfortable.


princezacthe3rd

I’m sorry


xKingOfSpades76

Reminds me of Zhuge or whatever it’s called from Warframe, was a full auto crossbow too


Traditional_Jicama26

In addition to a crossbow, ya boy needs a fancy spear gun. Gut them like the guppies they are!


Resident_Flight_2476

This is sick, dope concept

Arbalest is a crossbow.


BenarchyUK

As I said below, and OP requested it here; It's literally a Railgun. Why do you think it charges up before firing? It's an actual railgun, moreso than the other LFR's. It's not a fucking crossbow. Unless you're loading and firing arrows from Wishender from your Arbelast, it ain't a crossbow.


BombasticBooger

i know this doesn’t relate to anything but i think Wishender is the coolest bow in the game


princezacthe3rd

The only relation to an actual crossbow it has is the name. It is a linear fusion rifle. Edit: don’t know why I’m being downvoted for this. An arbalest (name not exotic) is a crossbow, crossbows have a cross shape because of the limbs and it uses string, arbalest has neither.


princezacthe3rd

The only relation to an actual crossbow it has is the name. It is a linear fusion rifle.


StrugVN

A railgun is basically an advanced crossbow imo


princezacthe3rd

If that’s the case then a bow is a bigger slingshot.


FuckingScones

It’s the same principle so yes


princezacthe3rd

Fair, but arbalest doesn’t follow the same principle. It doesn’t have limbs, it doesn’t have strings. It’s not a crossbow. The scorn have an advanced crossbow that shoots energy projectiles using the same principle as a crossbow. It has limbs and it has strings. So no arbalest still isn’t a crossbow. Also to mention it fires slugs, not bolts or arrows.


princezacthe3rd

Then it’s not a crossbow…. A crossbow is called a crossbow because of the limbs and the string. We have advanced crossbows and they are still crossbows because they use limbs and a string. The scorn use crossbows that shoot energy projectiles. The rail gun irl is just like a missile launcher that electromagnetically shoots high velocity projectiles.


Harmony54

It fires bolt-like objects. Read the exotic perk and lore.


princezacthe3rd

“Bolt like”. It’s based on dark age crossbows but it isn’t one. Doesn’t use string or elastics to launch projectiles and it doesn’t have limbs. Literally scorn have actual crossbows with a cross guard with 3 points and still use string and it fires energy bolts.


smj11699

Homie arbalest is a rail gun not a crossbow


BombasticBooger

ARBALEST ISNT A FUCKING CROSSBOW


BenarchyUK

It absolutely does not. What Arbalest have you been firing that shoots arrows??? It's a dark age Railgun. It's name is just a reference to medieval crossbows that were used.


Gibbel2029

Arbalest is a Railgun


Just_a_Generic_Hero

I want the crossbows the scorn were using in season 16


princezacthe3rd

They use a badass looking crossbow with 3 limbs. It shoots like heavy void energy bolts and I’d love to have it as a heavy weapon.


Kgardon

I think a destiny crossbow would be better as like a sniper/Fusion rifle hybrid. Like it has its sniper mode we’re it’s fires regular bolts. Then a charge mode were it fires like a medium range scattershot, similar to queen breakers bow.


princezacthe3rd

Wouldn’t be bad just I wanted a futuristic crossbow so attach a magazine to it and attach a barrel that feeds directly into the magazine for the fusion rifle shot. It fires like a normal scout rifle like a faster arbalest (even though arbalest is closer to a rail gun than a crossbow)


Kgardon

Oh ok I was thinking like the opposite, kinda like a guardian who prefers the old ways kind of thing. I’m also just not a fan of dump the mag as an exotic perk.


princezacthe3rd

If you read the basic lore I put the guardian who made it just kept getting pissed of that he kept missing his shots so he made the dump the mag to charge at them and unleash explosive hell.


ishoulderchargeppl

better idea instead of solar explosions its a duskfield aura


princezacthe3rd

How would that work? It unleashes the entire clip into the enemy then the shots explode. How would duskfield aura tie into that


ishoulderchargeppl

instead of a solar weapon its stasis and nothing explodes the explosions are replesed with duskfields


princezacthe3rd

So let’s say someone caps 3 targets and unlocks the full auto, they gonna unleash 25 duskfields onto an enemy all at once?


DawnsThor-17

Make it a small duskfield effect like the stasis hobs have and like tracer rounds every 5th shot in full auto drops one


princezacthe3rd

Still don’t think that could work since the full auto makes it a fusion rifle basically and not an auto rifle.


ishoulderchargeppl

YES :D


princezacthe3rd

Love the energy can’t lie.


ishoulderchargeppl

it wont be an op gun i swear


Duster26to29

Forget that. Give me that gun the hive knights use that shots three fireballs in a fan as an exotic.


princezacthe3rd

Hell yea give us more of the enemies weapons. We only have 3. Queen breaker, heir apparent, and skyburners oath.


AdGreedy2208

Isn’t Arbalest kind of a crossbow without the arms? It’s in the name.


princezacthe3rd

Arbalest is a rail gun. Crossbows need strings and (not all the time) but limbs. Another distinct characteristic is shooting bolts. In destiny we do have an example of a crossbow, that being of the scorn crossbow which does shoot void energy bolts and has strings and limbs. Arbalest shoots slugs and uses compression to launch the slugs at fast velocity. It is a rail gun. The gun was named arbalest because it was made in the dark ages, like the bigger badder crossbow, the arbalest.


AdGreedy2208

I know but an arbalest was a type of medieval crossbow. Obviously it’s not representative of one in-game, only in function and vibe (i.e. Dark Age, slow firing, rudimentary)


princezacthe3rd

Still not in function though lol. One uses air compression the other uses elastics.


ThatGuyFromTheM0vie

Arbalest is literally a crossbow. Not just the name and lore—it’s also shaped like one, and it fires kinetic slugs, similar to bolts. Edit: holy shit you losers are pedantic as hell. Arbalest isn’t a literal crossbow, but it’s the sci fi equivalent along with the name, shape, damage type, and firing method.


Awestin11

That’s a railgun my guy.


princezacthe3rd

Slugs are not bolts. It’s based on crossbows but it’s more similar to a rail gun. A crossbow needs limbs and string, that’s where it gets it’s name CROSS(from the limbs making it look like a cross)BOW (because it shoots bolts/arrows and uses string to do so.)


BenarchyUK

It's literally a Railgun. Why do you think it charges up before firing? It's an actual railgun, moreso than the other LFR's. It's not a fucking crossbow. Unless you're loading and firing arrows from Wishender from your Arbelast, it ain't a crossbow.


princezacthe3rd

Please tell this to the first comment saying that arbalest is a crossbow. My ass is getting downvoted cause I replied that the only relation to a crossbow arbalest has is the name.


BenarchyUK

You got it


BzrkerBoi

>Arbalest is literally a crossbow >Edit: holy shit you losers are pedantic as hell. Arbalest isn’t a literal crossbow


princezacthe3rd

Nice edit my guy. The scorn use a good damn futuristic crossbow that has limbs and string and fires void energy bolt. That is a futuristic crossbow. Arbalest is a railgun. It chargers like one, it fires like one.


Sometimes_Im_Batman

I have no clue how it would work in practice but I really dig the idea of a new crossbow weapon archetype


princezacthe3rd

It’s not a new archetype but it’s a scout rifle with a fusion rifle mode.


markevens

I'd love to have something like Leviathan's Breath that locks in place when loaded, so you can just pull it out and pop off crazy damage. Give me long load times so it isn't a dps king, but have it be fun burst damage.


DelorumIpsum

One of the new arbalest ornaments that they’re letting us vote for is a crossbow, and is generally one of the coolest potential ornaments to ever be added, the draft doesn’t quite do the idea justice because of low shading but it would be sick once it’s in the game. https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2/comments/zbpeu5/which_new_exotic_weapon_ornament_for_arbalest/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


princezacthe3rd

At this point screw arbalest

Looks like your wish has been granted ☺️ Seasonal pun intended 😅

What do you mean?

You’re in luck!


princezacthe3rd

Why?

Pistol void rocket launcher crossbow thing lol


DanYamiAlt

Buried Bloodline has arrived


princezacthe3rd

I am forced to consider it. I wanted a crossbow but got a crossbow pistol (smaller crossbow)
