All DayZ 1.21 changes here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edByrdpl2pi9faM.html Crossbow bolt physics: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrCiht2TnNuXcYE.html [UPDATE 1]: The range of the improvised bolt is now 10 meters down from 20. Also, 30 with an optic from 50. [UPDATE 2]: Crossbows spawn in town and farm locations now too. [UPDATE 3]: Hunting bolts now do 95 shock damage up from 85. [UPDATE 4]: Crossbows are now 45 slots, or 9 x 5.

Dude you are the perceived conscious of the DayZ your vocabulary is impeccable and the format is unbeatable. Wobo is a true gem

I can already see players taking the "I took an arrow to the knee" bit to a whole other level

I like everything except the hearing range of 25 m. I think it should be around 10

Can confirm that the crossbow is EXTREMELY GOOD for killing players IF you 1. have good aim and 2. understand the playstyle required for the weapon being Shoot/Kill > Run/Reload > Reposition/Flank > Shoot/Kill > Rinse and Repeat. I personally after some practise on a deathmatch server went onto a vanilla 1PP server and hit an insane 17 killstreak over 6 hours on a 60/60 pop server with the crossbow paired with proper hunting bolts + Baraka Red Dot + Nightvision. Personally its the ultimate stalker weapon when combined with NVG's and a Ghillie Suit during the night. Your impossible to track, Impossible to see, and if you have good game sense and decision making combined with good angles.... Its almost impossible to die. Happy Hunting

The big question still stands: can you hit yourself by firing straight up?

I’ve watched other videos about the crossbow before you released yours and I just gotta say well done. Your videos are always by far the most informative and more importantly they are actually fun to watch, you don’t have to force yourself to get to the information and YOU ACTUALLY SHOW REAL STATS not just “That put me to yellow” “that put me to red”.

An added bleed when you pull it out would be a neat mechanic

This will be really good for the people that just want to live in the forest and hunt without being disturbed. ;))

A helmet test would be nice to see along with armor as u said

I would use Poxy on the crossbow if you want to keep using it. I've found it's pretty hard to find on official servers so I'd repair instead of relying on finding another 👍

Hopefully this means we might still get crafted long bows and hunting ones in the future. While they don't have the stopping power a crossbow has, they make up for in range.

More crucial knowledge for the informed player. Thank you for your continued efforts, Wobo.

Awesome video mate thank you so much

Nobody does it like Wobo! ❤

Wobo is the best place to get information on dayz without question. Thanks Wobo!

Yet another in depth break down, a must subscribe channel for any Day Z player.

Great video as always, keep up the good work! :D

Goated video tbh thank you for covering how to repair them my buddy and i were debating how that'd work. I'm very curious to see what it does against helmets especially with the improvised bolts.

Thanks For video WOBO ❤

Wobo you are seriously the best!! I get all of my information from you. Its the reason why i was able to survive a whole year until dayz mass server wiped. I use dayz in livonia to hunt elks and deers or wild boars in the middle of an apocalypse! Its so chill and thrilling. Yes, i still have to worry about pvp "rebels" is what i like to call them 😎👍 and my base are fortified because of you. I just wanted to say thank you for all you do and keeping me and everyone else up to date!

Wobo youre a legend. Cant wait for the c bow back!

Great Video

Was wondering how to pull bolts out of zeds cant wait for that next video.

Man so much in this video I gotta watch it twice 😂 thanks for the vids!

The amount of elder scrolls quotes in dayz are about to increase a whole lot. 😂

Night vision crossbow would be insane if you’re in the right place right time.

Always like a wobo vid

Im glad to finally have an alternative to the damn Amphibia! I love that little pistol, but I want a new challenge!

WOBO much love from St.Louis Bro

People always joke that you have to look over your shoulder when new or old weapons come to DayZ but this time I can't stress how important this saying is when the Crossbow is back anytime, quite honestly you have to evolve so you have eyes in the neck otherwise you will see "You're dead" almost all the time.

i'm excited to see the pro player plays with this

University of Wobo in session ✍✍✍

Awesome

I am excited to use the crossbow lol it was be fun to sneak around with it lol

Once again very helpful video and full of fun demonstrations and good explanations. Cant wait to see what people do in Vanilla and what Modders bring out.

Explosive arrows and or improvised explosive arrows would be fun for a future add on to crossbows

Best DayZpedia on internet

Hearing the mass effect music activated something dormant in the front part of my brain

Having a 40mm grenade up top should not be allowed to work, not just by weight but also a 40mm grenade does have internal mechanics to arm them after about 40 meters in flight due to the rotations it makes. Would be cool to make poison/serrated arrows/bolts

Thanks WOBO great video !!!!!!! If you get shot by the CrossBow can the person who was shot remove the bolt from their body and keep it ?

Bout to be on my Daryl arch

Crossbows take up 45 slots on Xbox which means you have to carry it on back if you have crossbow or put it in the only two bags that can carry it

Very likely the 3rd improvised bolt will follow the same crafting logic we saw way back in v0.63 when we had archery. That said, combining a bone with the feathered bolt will let you create a bone bolt, much like the beloved bone arrow we used to have. Back in the day, our arrows were: Improvised arrow (basically a sharpened short stick), Feathered improvised arrow (add chicken feathers), Bone arrow (add a bone arrowhead to the feathered arrow), And finally, the composite arrow. We did have the crossbow back then, but few people ever actually used it because you had to find crossbow bolts, it was super slow to use without the bolt quiver (attachment), and you couldn't craft ammunition for it. I'm very excited that not only do we have the crossbow back, but the fact we can make ammo for it is very promising that we may finally see soon once again, the improvised bow return. I do know they plan to add a PVC improvised bow in addition to the wooden one, AND, they have a beautiful model of what looks to be a fiberglass or laminated recurve bow. I've been waiting so many years for the return of archery. Archery isn't as cool to most people as guns, but holy crap, archery in a survival setting is insanely useful, even OP. People would use it to do trick shots to kill staircase campers at the NWAF. Shoot from far back through the window, and headshot the camper using indirect fire. Seriously useful!

I have a feeling in the future they will let you pull out arrows but will cause a bleed with damage greater with better arrows.

On dayz experimental(Xbox) I’ve found the crossbow in regular houses and garages. Somebody said you could find them on police cars and pd’s but I haven’t found any there.

Does anyone remember when wobo said, "I don't know I'm not a real scientist."? I beg to differ sir, you are the Bill Nye of DayZ.

Question. Spit or Swallow

I really hope they can make removing the bolts from yourself or others possible without death before official launch. Almost all parts are working but that one is a pretty big one, dont get me wrong it would be cool to track down a guy you recently shot with an arrow, but if he gets away he deserves to remove it in a timey craft like process. Also if someones gun is hit or their hand or forearm it can become a permanent visual handicap while trying to aim

I’ve really enjoyed messing with the crossbow it’s awesome for early game zombie killing. I wish you didn’t have to separately sharpen short sticks into arrows. It takes too long and ruins knives too quickly. If you were cutting or even breaking the stick it would have a pointy end already.

i found the camo one in experimental

Night vision on a crossbow sounds so fucking dumb yet i cant wait to try it. Imagine not hearing where you get shot from, not seeing where you get shot from, and all the time youre just in a bush like 40m away

Can confirm the crossbow from dayz is on my mums shopping list

I think it would be cool if you could craft 5 bolts at once. Simply just add a feature where it takes as long as crafting 5 would so you don't have to mess around dragging sticks to your knife over and over. Wouldnt change anything but would be a nice quality of life addition. Also would be cool if I could actually attach some arrows to the front of the crossbow like some crossbows allow.

wobo i love you

Speaking of questions, if you shoot straight up does it fall back down on your head?

Question: Can Bolts detonate grenades/explosives, etc? Gas canisters as well. Great video as always my man.

Shootout OSRS for dropping between 5-15 feathers for each chicken

If you are shot w a bolt, and it's stuck in you, will it show up in inventory? Could you pull it out and use it in your own bow?

What if you are shot and survive? Can you take the arrow from your own body

I cant wait to take Daryl's style to DZ

Does the plate carrier protect you the same way with all the attachments on?

WOBOW amirite?

I can finally live my Darrel Dixon life in dayz

Picked up the crossbow some time ago, never dropped it

Im curios how the target cam interact with the bolts. Wjen you get a bolt stuck into you, can you remove it yourself? Will it just be in the vicinity in the inventory? It is a "hold MB1" action like bandaging? Does it automatically drop when bandaging? Not all hits cause bleeds, so it probably wont be tied to bandaging at all. Will there be a health or blood deficit if you leave the bolt in? Does it despawn from your body? Is it also affected by the 6 second time limit for projectiles?

Not that i would actually want this but if you got hit with a hunting arrow you should get 2 bleeds if you got hit in the arm or leg because those things are brutal compared to a regular bullet.

An improvised bow would be cool for fresh spawns

Wonder if we can get some engine goodies from Reforger into DayZ SA, or if DayZ mod on Reforger is the only way. I would be ok with having DayZ 2 on Reforger engine and pay for it. But no early access this time.

Homemade explosive bolts would be cool. And Homemade Bow

how wide is the hotbox of the bolt..? can it squeeze through small gaps in walls/objects like bullets sometimes can? or is it too big

Very informative, however I'm going for a friendly hunter build,have got two nights in on my character and have an atog scope.i can aim at a z's head at about 10 metres without scope and get a kill however when using the scope it seems my shots are going over the head I've tried changing the range to 75 and 100 and guessing that's making it worse .am I supposed to be aiming lower down with the yellow chevron marker?(currently Xbox one) thanks in advance for any info given

You should be able to put an Explosive slug on a bolt

Do you think we will get crafting table? Ever?

Imagine a Medieval Battle on the prison Island with a castle mod 🤯

Be really cool if they add a quiver that attaches to the belt, maybe in the sheath slot

Its a shame you cant duct tape ammo onto the end of bolts just like you can in real life to make a pretty loud pop at a distance, would be great for creating distractions or drawing attention to specific locations. Who knows maybe we could in the future with the payoff of severely damaging or destroying the bolt. Making improvised explosive bolts would be pretty good too though im sure a few other items would have to be added into the game to make it viable

I’ve killed a few elk with one shot from a crossbow.

What happens if you shoot a bolt directly up

Does it take a wrap like rifles ghillie

I tried it out on experimental (Xbox) and you can’t retrieve the bolts from zombies.. I tried a head shot first, then torso, then limbs, and wasn’t able to get none of the bolts back.. But you can get em out of walls and stuff like that.. Hopefully they fix it!

can a bolt stuck in a player deflect another bolt if you hit the first one?

#BuckNasty88MD says that's "Mass effect" video game music 🎶

Here's my take on this get yourself an MK2 it's a internally suppressed pistol that shoots 22lr. It is so quiet you aren't gonna agro every zombie around you. Strong enough bullet to one shot zombies without helmets. That's it's only downside with it being 22lr. It doesn't do great against wolves or heavy zombies but for stealth killing zombies and moving around. Mk2 is superior. You find one box of ammo and you now have 50 shots at zombies. Mags and ammo are easy to find. When you damage it you don't have to repair your suppressor and gun. Only the pistol

It can't be right that deer can't be one-shotted with a crossbow, I definitely did that with a steel bolt @ what I think was around 30m. About a week ago on experimental. Although other times I have tried to shoot deer only to have them run away, but that was at greater distances.

Don't chicken coups also have feathers?

In the console dayz the crossbow is 45 damn slots for some reason, idk how that happend

Hi WOBO, if you ruin a chicken before skinning it you will get around 40 feathers. I don’t know why, though?

Would be cool if we got longbows so you could roleplay as a literal medieval knight

What date is the update and wipe??

Can it be used for base raiding

Can you ruin an airborne bolt by shooting at it?

Blots should give a heavy bleed no matter the type its a crossbow

When does it come to xbox 1

Hold on, let me process this

Crossbow + Rider Jacket = Daryl Dixon 🧨

If its actually silent with zombies not agroing, sure it would be great.

sheesh, these boys finally got the crossy in their game. Soon you'll be out of prim lock.

👍✌

Does this info apply to ps5 as well??
