I think a bow would be perfectly fitting for the game as you are a stranded special soldier.
Theres always room for special arrows like explosive- and intelarrows for example, but i mainly care about just having a bow thats satisfying to draw and fire with satisfying sound effects.
There could also be a few variants that could change the ratio of drawspeed and damage. Ie. Recurve is fast to draw with lower damage, but still oneshotting to upperbody. Recurve bow could also have a draw hold timer like in Destiny 2 so that you'd need to perfect your timings to fully utilise the weapon. Recurve bow would not be as accurate as a compound bow.
Compound bow could have slower drawspeed, greater damage and higher accuracy for longer shots. Compund bows arrows could pierce heavy enemies helmets. Compound bow would not have the draw hold timer as they are not as hard to keep drawn.
Im not acquainted with modding, but should'nt it be possible to just reuse models and animations from other anvil based games like AC:s to make the modding easier? Id really love to see these ingame. If someone who knows how to mod is interested, would u send me a message? Maybe i could help with the process?
