There is a reason why warfare for hundreds of years consisted of 200 men lining up 50 yards apart and blasting at each other…
Headshots only happen with huge volume of fire…
That said… it’s a game and I don’t expect reality… where can I throw a great axe and create a singularity? But the Hitscan is rediculous in this game. It would be rediculous even in any modern FPS… so why is it here?
guns should have never been in new world. ruins the lore of fantasy. make it a crossbow or something we dont need guns
a hitscan crossbow…sounds fun 
everybody knows it. everyone can see it doesnt belong in the game except for these clueless devs. so many people stopped playing because of it and they just dont move. name any other game being ruined by one weapon without any action being taken EXCEPT for buffs.
Been saying this since alpha and preview…
This legit sounds hella fun
Yeah lets keep It real, jump from a 50m mountain after snipping and break your legs and you cant walk away by your self.
Muskets were 50 cal balls. Medical abilities during those 200 years meant no matter where that hit, if you were hit, you’d likely die from the damage, or infection.
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD exactly.
that isnt exactly right… remember we all came as sailors to aethernum, so muskets and blunderbusses make a lot of sense. the time and space splitting axe makes less sense in that regard 
tf how. Invading the New World with muskets and getting rid of the domestic population is literaly the american dream right here.
Muskets are more lore fantasy then FS IG VG are xD
They should just add the dmg reduce also to the elemental part and not just thrust after 50meters
why would that make sense in what universe could you shoot a musket faster then a bow lol
It should fire slower if anything.
not if you wear a metal helmet
Technically it count as a “compensation” because a post above me want to cut range of a weapon with the slowest fire rate by half. So a faster fire rate would count as a win-win solution am i right
with higher base damage for compensation as well
Only in shooterstance but besides that, bow shoots waaaay faster. Plus you have pen shot/explosive shot that can be shot instantly after an autoattack
Yes and miskets we’re not rifled… and the balls were spheres so they meanderered thru the air with very little accuracy… and they took 20-30 seconds to reload… what’s your point… the weapon in the game bears no resemblance to a real musket.
And where is the quiver of the bow that needs to be refilled?
What do you mean!!! The quiver holds 500 arrows.
