Bug #1210

Unreliable Arrow Grabbing and Seating Mechanism

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	trampasaurusrex on April 27, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	Forefront - v1.0.75 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Quest 3, steam, pcvr, virtual desktop with a 4080 super, i9, and wireless high-end router.
2. Ensure the setup is running at 120 fps on Windows 11.
3. Attempt to grab arrows quickly.
4. Grab the exact same arrow the exact same way and point, even looking directly at it.
5. Observe that the arrow does not always grip, sometimes worse when not looking directly at it.
6. Compare form by taking video and analyzing it, looking at it, and looking ahead.
7. Attempt to seat the arrow in the bow.
8. Observe that it randomly fails to seat the arrow.

Explanation

MAKE THE ARROWS EASIER AND MORE CONSISTENT TO GRAB AND SEAT INTO THE BOW. Gotta say. Love the addition of the bow. Requires skill, the aim, shot travel speed, and drop, are nearly perfect. But grabbing at the exact same position, even looking directly at it, and grabbing the exact top of the arrow, the same position, yields unreliable results. Specially for rapid firing it. I can fire a real bow and arrows faster. It also doesn’t always latch into the bow the way it should every time. I spent about an hour in the shooting range and still could not get it to 100 percent consistently work. It is a niche weapon, that requires not only a higher degree of skill than just an average machine gun with a laser rail on it. But it also, at the fastest possible firing speed, cannot face down more than one attacker head on anywhere nearly as easily as a regular machine gun, using the same amount of skill. So it is as much aim, as it is more situational awareness. Knowing where the enemy is, and not picking fights, or stumbling into them, that you can’t handle. So it should not be at a further disadvantage due to malfunctions of the basic mechanics of the weapons use. Not sure if there are elements making it worse. Such as quests 2, 3, inside out tracking when not looking directly at the arrows as you grab for them. Or maybe a deeper issue like the machine guns that for awhile there endlessly fired. But it would be greatly appreciated if you made it a bit more forgiving. Easier to use. To both grab for the arrow, and to place it into the bow.
