How is the crossbow coming along?
TL;DRZac Preece confirms the crossbow is coming this year, with versions in loot for everyone and a specific skin for Shroud of the Avatar backers, and claiming details to come later.
Okay, so this was the first year that I got to basically plan out all the weapons, and the first one on the list, obviously, that always gets mentioned is the crossbow. So I can confirm that the crossbow is coming this year. The main reason I think that we got that crossbow was because Rich is an original Shroud of the Avatar backer, so he is very interested in getting his skin. So yes, crossbow this year.
Before we move off the crossbow, it's not just going to be available to the folks who pledged for whatever level of Shroud of the Avatar. There are versions of it going into loot for everybody.
I believe they get a specific skin if they were Shroud of the Avatar.
But the crossbow weapon itself is going to be made available to everybody who plays Star Citizen today, either through loot or through a bundle or whatever, or if you did pledge at those specific Shroud of the Avatar levels, that specific skin. And the process of how you claim those will be made available to you when it comes time to add it to the game.
