Petition to remove rain *effect* (if possible) on crossbows

Rain makes crossbows suck.

As some of you know, crossbow is very bad when it's raining/snowing. Whether damage/accuracy goes down because of lower bolt speed alone, or it's inherent, I dunnot know.


A crossbow is, to my knowledge, the only weapon affected by weather. As such, it is obviously unfair (especially once Strategus is launched). I don't know how this can be removed, whether it's hardcoded or not, but if possible please remove it.

Note: I understand only few people play as a crossbowman and so most would vote "keep rain effect" if there was a poll, because it's in their interest the other classes are weaker. But in the interest of game balance, logic and sanity - remove rain effect, please. Or make rain very rare. Right now it rains more often than in England.


ps: Also, please rename Sniper to Siege crossbow. I don't understand why Counterstrike name in the first place.

I'd have to agree.  If you'd like some sweet, sweet anecdotal evidence, it recently took me five heavy crossbow chest shots to kill a guy with 30 body armor at medium range because of the rain.

I agree on this for the fact that crossbows got nerfed enough, I may not use them that much but I do see how they have become ever so ineffective to the point of simply pestering someone or getting an archer down from a roof with a lucky shot.
I wear armor to protect myself from team mates.

That's right I am the beast master. Now, prepare to be tamed bitches!

This might explain why my Sniper Crossbow + Steel bolts have hit and not killed bare-chested enemies....

I have to run on bare-minimum specs, so I never know if there's weather (unless you count heavy fog)

You can just turn Particles on in video settings. Or, refresh website, it will say there whether it's raining or not (this won't be 100% accuracy I think, since server loads weather at map start, and on website it might change few minutes later).

Graphically speaking, on winter maps "rain" will be snow, but it's the same thing when it comes to effect.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
