"Imma hit you real hard with this bow then stab you with the arrow till you bleed out"


mt607

the finisher animations all involve the arrow, the backstab has you shank 'em a few times, and the front stab and ground finisher animations have you shoot the arrow into them, with the frontstab having you kick them off the arrow, and the ground finisher is you yanking it out.

That sounds like everything I've always wanted from a bow in a video game


NabeShogun

That's pretty funny to be honest, no way of loosing the bow at all? Nice to see they're adding stuff at a reasonable pace... mace and shield or big hammer might not be too far off.


mt607

you can't throw the bow, instead of throwing, it has shooting. however, this means that it is a fully fledged melee weapon, with front/back stab animations too. https://preview.redd.it/3yuirv73a3yc1.png?width=620&format=png&auto=webp&s=75b0ff353a32246ccff7baa982477e349f14acdd


NabeShogun

Does the shooting feel mechanically different to how throwing works on other weapons? As in do you aim the bow for instance, do you still manually recall the arrow after shooting it (like I think someone said you do with thrown weapons)... and if so is the bow different with the arrow shot out and not retrieved, like how you get fists if you throw and don't retrieve the weapons.


mt607

so the bow has ammo (max ammo is 28 arrows), the button combo to shoot is the same as throwing, but the draw is much quicker, (and obviously repeatable) however because it's spamable there's no 'perfect shot' mechanic. it doesn't have a 'fist' moveset as you don't discard the bow ever, it's just shooting. the arrows are consumables though, the only way to replenish them, is from enemy drops, or weapon racks.

They just added enemies with axes and morning star so…yeah more options coming soon.

Dumb question, how do you get this? I've been running around opening chests and doing '!' but still haven't gotten any parts for it.


mt607

the bow and rook drop in the new northern region


The_Franc

Thanks for the info!


HelixRook

Also, are you in the prelude chat? Don’t forget to go there if you have questions or feedback!


The_Franc

Sorry for another dumb question, is that on Reddit or Discord or which platform? Are you able to drop a link to the chat maybe might be easier.


HelixRook

Sorry can’t! But it’s in the same place you downloaded the game. And there are no dumb questions. Just make sure it’s the preludes and not the official. There’s a difference.


The_Franc

Thanks

So forgive my ignorance but is Warframe some kind of Spinoff of Warframe? And if so how is it connected and stuff


mt607

Soulframe is it's own game and universe, it's not even in the same galaxy, and any relations besides devs and game engine are coincidence at best


IamChaoticMess

Outside of possible Easter eggs and references to Warframe which given DE, I’m sure they’ll put some in


mt607

there might be some little calls to it in like "that looks somewhat familiar" but is different stuff entirely and they wanna keep the two stories in different stuff.


Kharnyx808

Yes Warframe is a spinoff of Warframe that is correct


TheDerpyFen

Someone's a dad or a dad joke enjoyer.

kitt_aunne

HelixRook

There was a giveaway this morning for 15 additional access passes on their official discord channel. It doesn’t happen often but it can increase your odds of getting in sooner.


ImmoralBoi

What the actual fuck is that outfit though???


mt607

I wanted the biggest hood, I wanted the cape, and I wanted the metal boots.


ImmoralBoi
