BOWMAN
[PHILZ NOTES UPDATED 3.7.2020] A class that can 1-shot any other class in the game? Sounds pretty strong right? Not so fast. The Bowman relies on a projectile-based weapon rather than a hitscan weapon (where the shot doesn’t have bullet travel time). This makes the Bowman far less consistent than a class such as the Hunter. The other problem is that you have only 1 round of ammo in the ‘clip’, although your reload speed is pretty fast.
I can see the Bowman being useful in a few select situations. For example, the Bowman can 1-shot the Spray N Pray but the Hunter cannot. I’m not saying the Bowman has the advantage in this matchup though.
For now at least, the Bowman is a super fun class and a great way to flex on noobs.
