Vs trash: Run n gun with marksman, always prepared and EBRĮBR SS already take down FP without harm by first throwing a freeze grenade and then decapitate it with EBR during stun Kneel, Stationary and hip-fire 4 xBow bolts to the head while frozen. Vs FPs: Freeze grenade (always prepared so you can start wave with 6 grenades). Decapitate-instant-kill just as it start to wake up. Continue to hip-fire 3 bolts to the head while stun. Kneel, Stationary and hip-fire xBow to the head to stun the scrake. Vs Scrakes: Hip-fire xBow to the body (this way the last xBow bolt will decapitate-instant-kill rather than just decapitate and it might also might make the following head-shot less prone to fail the stun). You either pick stability and tactical reload and use freeze grenade on FPs (this is probably the most powerful set-up and work very well early wave large zeds together with winchester for trash) or you pick ballistic shock and tactical reload (this let you one-shot-stun fps without using freeze grenades, but you get slower rate of fire and less damage per bolt making it higher risk and your trash killing weapon must to be a clip loaded weapon since you lack the reload speed). So if you pick an xBow you should use it to kill large zeds. Railgun for large zeds and winchester, single 500 magnum or off perk (mp5, boomstick etc.) for trash.EBR for large zeds and off perk weapon (such as Vector/SCAR/Medic AR/AK12/boom stick etc) for trash.xBow to kill large zeds and EBR for thrash.You don't have enough ammo to use EBR for both large zeds and trash zeds.

Using xbow to only stun scrakes and fps and then finish them off with EBR leave you without ammo for trash. Thank you for reading and sorry for poor language and potato recording. You can also offperk the weapon on support for some fun Scrake takedowns: takedown1 takedown2 RobustCheck With ballistic shock, it can be served as a reliable bailout weapon for enraged Scrake (Bodyshot for a stun). A test in the test map seems to confirm this theory:Īllows M14 SS to take down FP without harms The two states come to mind are when Scrake is enraged or when Scrake is attacking. Theoretically, crossbow should achieve 100% stun rate when Scrake is in a state that he will not be blocking. Most veteran players already knew that the unreliable stun of crossbow is related to its projectile property and blocking animation of Scrake.

In this discussion, I am going to take a deep look into the mechanic of the crossbow and discuss possible applications of it.Ĭause of unreliable stun on Scrake and how to mitigate it

Choosing which weapon as your secondary has been the question of many M14 SS players, but many refuse to take crossbow because of reasons of unreliable stuns on Scrake like the following clip: I am a player who loves M14 SS, I got so much pleasure from spamming M14 on heads of FP and Scrake.
