I know i brought up the idea of an archer class before, and it was generally recieved 50/50 for yes and no. Some said it was too far fetched (hard to believe in a game that also features shotgun sledgehammers, shotgun nailguns, medic dart slinging caseless ammunition firing medic guns, or simply beating zeds up with a shovel but i digress),or that there wouldnt be enough options for it.
Well seeing that all classes so far are 4 weapons only, i can easily see it as possible. Id imagine that it would be similar to sharpshooter with headshot bonuses as well as taking things from medic like movement speed. Also have ricochet ability on it. You should also be granted the ability to retrieve arrows. For those that argue arrows arent that strong, well these will be bloat bile tipped arrows.
One thing that would be a problem which many people stated is that it obviously suffers from firing rate. Well one thing that can be done is to obviously over glorify ability to reload slightly. Another thing that will come in handy is that with this class you can make the bask button extra powerful because instead of using buttstock of weapon, you can take the arrow being held in bow and stab the zed, this would be quick,effective, and repeatable so that this class can manage to fend itself against hordes.
Weapons-
Tier 1: Primitive Zed Killer aka PZK
-Nothing on it, just a gold ole bow and arrow. Would do good damage, but penetrating ability would be lacking (could maybe kill 3 to 4 zeds in one shot). Another thing is that ive seen that some skilled archers hold a few arrows in their draw hand and have quick access to another arrow after releasing one arrow. This can almost work as a magazine where you have 5 or so arrows held in anchor hand and when you run out of arrows to quickly fire you reload by getting another handful of arrows from back quiver (this can be an interuptable reload to fire a single arrow. Also have the problem of having to let up on the bow if aiming/pulling bow string back for too long. There would be no optics on this and you would have to judge arrow trajectory (this would be really fun). Possibly a fire option to fling 3 arrows down range at once (sorta like shotgun option) ?!?!?
Tier 2: Modern Zed Killer aka MZK
-Much of the same stuff applies but this is a compound bow so you have let off so you can not only pull back more poundage (which leads to better damage and penetration) you can hold the bow pulled for much longer (in this case just infinite amount of time for game). Another bonus is that this gun has sights so aiming is easier (you do have to figure out zeds range and adjust accordingly though). Its downfall is that due to its heavier pull back weight, its slower to reload, as well as not being able to hold arrows in anchor hand.
Tier 3: Auto-Bow
-This is the good ole Van Helsing bow here. This is a gas operator mechanism that shoots short arrows automatically with a cylinder magazine (holds 20 arrows). The problem with this guy is that it doesnt have much penetrating ability as well as not as good damage abilities. Also ammo for this is non retrievable.
Tier 4: Big Game Hunter
- This is the upgraded version of the crossbow everyone knows and loves from KF1. As name says its intended for the big boys.
Still havent thought about specifics of perk bonuses or grenade/knife options but im open to suggestions on this.
Many people with this are either looking at this too seriously (as far as realism mechanics), or they feel it serves no purpose. Well to be fair berserker doesnt really serve a purpose rather than to have fun basking zeds skulls in. Nor will gunslinger,helmet perk, or martial artist. They will be there to have fun with, this is what im looking for in this. If u personally dont think you would have fun with it then thats ok, but some of us would. Plus it would be a great change of pace from the other perks and would be extremely challenging and skill based.
P.S. If you cant do this id like to see 1 or 2 bows found in the game in other perks. For example many think that the martial artist might have a ranged weapon along the sorts. But also some small chance that tier 4 firebug could have bow with fire arrows. Also id also not like to see sharpshooter get a crossbow and to leave that as a rifles only sorta thing.
