What is your favorite weapon to pair with the handcrossbow and why? I usually run it with the bow, and you can find two bow guides here on my channel! I also recently uploaded a video showcasing the bow and hand crossbow loadout! Enjoy! :)
I tried your bow hand crossbow load out and really liked it, but have recently been running bow with silenced nagant dualies with poison ammo, and I think it offers as much utility with perhaps more PVP benefit. I think it will be hit hard by the ammo changes though
I think it is very versatile, I mostly run it with rifles. Also, I think is not in your video, but the normal bolts are good to finish a player and CQC. Nice video.
@@lachlanc7092 For sure! I definitely don’t think it has nearly the same utility, as it completely lacks any options for zoning, preventing revives and gathering information about location of players, not to mention wall bangs, but it does pack more of a punch in a fight! 😊👍
A handcrossbow seems like a good pick for someone that wants to get more confident in their aim too. In my loadouts I'm always trying to compensate a slow primary with a quick secondary (Sparks with Nagant Officer) because I'm not confident in landing my Sparks shot, not having a spammy secondary to fall back on would force one to become confident.
Thanks for the guide, I started using and now almost exclusively use the bow because of your videos and I also picked up the hand crossbow for the same reason although I find it mainly shines in solo games (teammates without antidote shots and rooms full of poison seem to not go well), I'm a bit surprised you didn't wait until the update to make a guide though since handcrossbow is getting a new ammo type
Thank you! Glad you have been enjoying both weapons and that you liked the guide! I actually decided to not wait, as this guide was specifically intended to be a poison and choke bolts guide. I will most likely do a follow-up guide covering fire bolts and chaos bolts in more depth after the update! :)
I absolutely love your playstyle and your loadout. I think I'll try it when the event come. Please keep up posting gameplay videos as you do, I really enjoy them !
Thank you! I am very happy to hear you are enjoying the content! It takes a lot of time and effort to push out videos like this one and my other guides, but it is very worth it when I get positive feedback like this. Thank you for watching! :)
Recently got back into hunt and immediately started running handcrossbow with a Winfield + levering. The tip about the poison bolts killing crows is fantastic and i wish i knew about it earlier.
Love love love this!! Handcrossbow is superior when it comes to utility and you showed that perfectly. Putting out great guides and fantastic content rex!
Small addendum to your point about putting a poison cloud on dead hunters. If they have resilience, they CAN get up and run out of the cloud before dying, sometimes with even as much as 50 hp left. I've used this trick to get the one up on teams who think they've got my body covered with the cloud. The poison doesn't tick fast enough to kill them if they aren't taking extra damage from some other source like barbed wire or have been burning.
Chaos bolts are really good in trios. If you and your team are stealthing in, a chaos bolt can draw the enemy’s attention opposite of your approach. It can also bait out ds seconds which is a plus for the attacking team.
Hi Rex, excellent guide and always a pleasure to see you excel with the bow! Question, now that the dragon fire bolt has been around for a little while, would you swap it with the choke bolts?
Thank you! :) I would not swap it because I think the utility of the poison and chokes outweigh the utility of the fire. It is very strong, don't get me wrong, but you can do a lot more with the other two!
Had a Centenial with Dumdum bullets, and a crossbow with regular and poison. I had alt F4'd because of the Menu-Mouse appearing in-game on my screen, when i got back in, my team was fighting another trio, i go over there and kill 2 and revive both of them. Later we move on, headshot the bounty, dealt with his teammate, and the last guy.. Oh boy he was unfortunate.. Shot a poison bolt onto his feet ( splash damage, no direct impact. ) then i threw a fire bottle on him ( i had the highground ) and then i shot him with a bleeding bullet, finaly dying... Man was poisoned, burning, and bleeding.. Sure hope he got that achievement for it 😂 but that was my best round ever with HandCrossbow! :)
An interesting build, but I'm not so confident in myself that I don't take anything for long distances)) After your videos, the bow became my main weapon, but paired with sparks or shortened rifles.)
What are the durations of choke bolt and poison bolt clouds? Do they last at least 60 seconds? I've used poison ones before and they seem to last a really long time. Never used choke bolts. Fire bolts seemed promising, sadly all they seem good for is dealing with hunter bodies and non boss npcs, since the fire goes out fast, like 2-3 seconds or something, still good since it can burn a minimum of 5 hunters per game.
One of my favorite sidearms! It's fun to launch a chaos bolt over yonder, and time your first Silenced Vetterli shot with the detonation! Watch the team scramble for cover against a non-existent enemy!
I was using 2 bows a lot and one slot concertina arrows. Because you can't antidote concertina. It doesn't disapear after time. Place it on a downed enemy and the team has to use dynamite, step into it or use melee weapons. So they waste utility they can't throw in your face, or they put themselves in a vulnerable position. Also you can hear them while doing. But I'll try the hand crossbow and watch wich one fits better for me.
Killing birds with poison is like a coin flip, either it kills them or it sets them off and it's insanely irritating otherwise I'd always bring this thing.

@@cratker thanks! Yes you are right. This video was mainly focused on poison and choke bolts! 😊
Terminus and hand crossbow, it's super easy to use and the utility is umatched

For sure! It's a fantastic weapon across the board and will completely change the way you play the game while you run it! :)

It’s a fantastic weapon for getting rid of AI! 😁👍
That was sick! Thanks for breaking down how to use the chocke bolts. Whenever I tried this load out, I always struggled with getting those to work.
Glad you liked it! Chokebolts are extremely fun to play and very useful! 😁
Love love love this!! Handcrossbow is superior when it comes to utility and you showed that perfectly. Putting out great guides and fantastic content rex!
Thank you Kylie! :D I am glad you enjoyed the video! Feedback like this is why I love doing what I do! Thanks for watching! :)
Great video! I fell in love with the Bornheim Match and was looking for something that could fit as a good secondary, and this checks all the boxes.
Thanks! 😁

For sure, but it’s low value compared to poison, choke or even dragon bolts in my opinion!
Great vid as usual ! really crushing it there !! also very good explanation of the versatility of the hand x-bow !
Thank you Erik! 😁

Tried killing the crows several times with the poison bolts, but they flew away. They must have had an antidote shot running 😂😂
😂 It is slightly bugged and that can happen!
@@salty-he5jt it does not need to be a direct hit 😊
@@salty-he5jt Yes, I am a streamer :)
@@salty-he5jt It's just a bit buggy in general. Direct hits do not work every time in my experience :)

Awesome! Taking a long range weapon is smart! 😁
You forgot to mention Bolt thrower reduceing the reload time other wise great guide. GG WP
True! Thanks! 😊👌
The best archer I've seen in Hunt)
Thank you! 😁
14:27 guy became a skyrim guard :D

Definitely more than a minute, but I am not sure if it is 60, 90 or 120 seconds!
@@REXNOR_TV it is actually 300 seconds
I was still looking for a Good sidearm for the big winfield. Guess I‘ve found it
This one works with anything, but keep in mind it's mainly for close range! :) You will have a lot of fun once you master this, I can guarantee it!
Going to need to update this for the fire bolt coming :) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I plan to do a follow-up guide for it! 😊👌
One of my favorite sidearms!
It's fun to launch a chaos bolt over yonder, and time your first Silenced Vetterli shot with the detonation! Watch the team scramble for cover against a non-existent enemy!

That’s a great option as well! Give it a spin and let me know what you think! 😁👍
Are you expecting Fire to replace Poison?
Not sure yet! I think that poison has utility that the fire doesn’t, but I’m not sure if I’ll switch the poison or choke for fire!
Hi, do you keep the crossbow as primary or secondary?
Secondary 👍
@@REXNOR_TV thanks 🙏
Poison bolt no longer 1 shot immolators. Wtf nerf
😕
donna try this load out mean af!
It’s really good! Best of luck Ero! 😁
Killing birds with poison is like a coin flip, either it kills them or it sets them off and it's insanely irritating otherwise I'd always bring this thing.
It used to be a lot worse. Still bugs out sometimes but it works most of the time!
It’s better if you aim directly at one of the birds
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow 14:29
😂
bowmaster, is hundred hands worth it??
Yes, I run it every game! 😊
@@REXNOR_TV good to know ;) dont kill me out there ;P
@@lukesupastar No promises! 😏
Crossbow guide when?
I need to practise it a bit more first! 😊
Geez your long shot into the head will always shocking, that see ya later gator man 😂😂

Thank you! 😁
