Barad Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I think the standard bolt seems to be the best. Scan is pointless spotting, HE takes 2 shots to kill BA depends on your accuracy. I haven't used Scan that much yet though but I'm not one to switch bolts that often so I'm sticking to Standard bolt for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opiate42 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Will have to find the time to watch that. Gracias! OT: The regular bolt accounts for most of my very few kills yet but the HE has saved my ass being surprised a few times hipfired at close range. I've fired scan bolts randomly and found people hiding I didn't know were there, so it may not be too useful offensively for damage but tactically it's definitely got a use which was its intention anyway. I've started getting into the habit of lobbing in a scanner before charging into a building or around corners. Haven't played with the Balanced bolt too much yet.

HighsounD Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 BA. I'm a headshot master (was top 100 in the WORLD according to BF3stats, before I stopped playing) so I find it easy as hell to kill with it. Support + Scoped Xbow with BA = Metro sniping without running out of arrows. Ever. I have found exactly where to aim so I always make it a instakill.

Eddy FIN Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 How do you get the 'designated assist'? I tagged someone with SOFLAM and got some assist from damage but it didn't unlock the scan bolt. I've been missing the scanner for a long time, l haven't tried getting it anymore 'cause l don't understand what l need to do but l guess l should unlock it finally.

If you look at your assignments in Battlelog it'll show you how many you have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGPsaint Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Weighing in all late... Balanced Bolt for the win! I like that I can roll with a PDW/Shotty as a mid-range primary, my Rex as a close-range primary, and the Xbow with BA for long-range cleanup. I feel like the Balanced Bolt has less drop over distance than bullets from any of the sniper rifles. Plus, it's more rage inducing to pwn a bush-wookie with the Xbow.

Barad Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I did get a kill with the Scan bolt once, it took me 7 close shots to the head and it turns out the enemy player wasn't even there. Done like a pro tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
