Viper, the bow,spyder bow, the phantom assignment's weapon.


Proof? I remember the last time everyone got hyped over a 'Phantom assignment weapon' and it turned out pricks just couldn't read...


It's in the Battlelog code and the game code for a while now, or at least its attachments are. It is a compound bow with a standard bolt, balanced bolt, and explosive bolt based on Battlelog images. It's also confirmed to have a stabilizer attachment from both Battlelog and in-game code.

This weapon's real.


Ah ok. Fair enough.
If its anything like its BF3 counterpart then it could be pretty damn good :)

Still not hyped about this fucking DLC though :P

It better be a lot fudging better than the BF3 Xbow. this is going to be a main weapon, so it should have a very good one-shot-body-shot range, or it will be completely useless

…Oh fuck, it'd better not kill in one hit! An all-kit (presumably) BAR? Fuck that!!! :pinch:
BF3 Crossbow was fine the way it was.

I won't be on till Wednesday evening. Until then, put your thoughts down to a note or something.
The HT isn't overpowered by any means. As far as I understand, the turret moves with the vehicle, so it's actually easy to battle and hard to drive. That's just my experience, though.

Yesterday they had a couple of servers running the FS maps (by accident, I reckon) and I flew around on Arctic for a couple of minutes and visibility has been improved which is welcome.

Quoted

"you’ll have a blast with the new weapons, gadgets, and vehicles"

Ehhhh what? I guess they mean bow and railgun?

Don't forget the magical floating minigun with infinite ammo and the stationary turret! The bow might be cool, though!

The EOD bot is classified as a weapon, but the UCAV and AFAIK RAWR count as "soldier equipment" vehicles. Ditto for stationary turrets, those are vehicles.

So while the railgun is definitely a weapon (and currently shows as such in battlelog), and so is bow (but not shown on battlelog), everything else is a vehicle.

Point being here, it's a bit misleading to say "new weapons", when practically there are only two, one of which is a pickup and the other mostly a gadget.

Dude, I totally agree! I think it's a bit of a wierd decision to deviate from the 5 weapons + maps and maybe a gadget or two model they've used for the other DLCs. We'll see if anything comes from this roumored weapon DLC, though.

K I'll do that.

:D

As was just pointed out to me, I've complained about the Hover Tank in the past but Rizn quite happily shot me down by saying "You've not exactly seen it in action, it drives like a whale with an eating disorder" so I'll go back to waiting :P

I'll be honest, I am pretty excited for the new maps. They do look extremely fucking good!!!

@Sheepnub

Spyder Bow possible will be found on Carbines : battlefield_4

Spyder Bow Accessorys/Bolts : battlefield_4



Phantom Operative Assignment : battlefield_4



From battlelog files:


t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_AWARD_GHOST_CRIT_1']="Get 200 kills with the Phantom";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_AWARD_GHOST_CRIT_2']="Get 50 headshots with the Phantom";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_AWARD_GHOST_DESC']="Unlocks the Phantom Program Dog Tag";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_AWARD_GHOST_NAME']="PHANTOM OPERATIVE";

So, seems like this phantom assignments unlocks dogtag, not a weapon.

To do that you need to use phantom weapon, but it's actually a bow. SPYDER = BOW = PHANTOM WEAPON


t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_WNAME_SPYDER']="PHANTOM";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_WDESC_SPYDER']="The signature weapon of Phantom Program soldiers given to members who have completed their initiation. It's short effective range shouldn't pose a problem for a true Phantom Operative.";

Seems like have 3 types of ammunition


t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_AMMOTYPE_SPYDER']="SPECIAL";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_ANAME_SPYDER_N']="BROADHEAD";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_ANAME_SPYDER_S']="BULLET POINT";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_ANAME_SPYDER_X']="EXPLOSIVE TIP";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_ADESC_SPYDER_N']="Broadheads provide a balance in range and damage.";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_ADESC_SPYDER_S']="Sacrificing damage for weight reduction, this arrow flies straight and true.";

t['WARSAW_ID_P_XP4_ADESC_SPYDER_X']="A small explosive arrowhead that detonates on impact. The weight of the charge greatly decreases the effective range of the weapon.";

Now just speculating: Maybe after typing correct password we will get bow automatically and then we only can get new dog tag using this bow, but ... this seems a little be to easy I think ;)

EDIT: Or it's a mistake in files (because description about reward is identical like in first phantom assignment) and reward is bipod knife (c100) which is also included in this update and is on battlelog now. You will get bow automatically and have to use it to obtain bipod knife.
