Skill: Bond of the Mechanical reloads Slings

Post by MrFrank »

Bond of the Mechanical should be able to reload slings as well.

I'm not sure what kind of slings the Nexus uses. Searching shows this thing, a more modern variant and this one. Not entirely unreasonable to think that there's one that's made of metal and hellbones and other Nexusy materials (ok I just read the desc which says A simple leather pouch on the end of two leather cords.)

You can't load multiple ammunition in normal slings anyway so maybe Fallen are able to use whatever mechanical parts Nexus slings have and reload them?

Agreed and they should be able to Bond reload Archery weapons as now now that all of their damage and accuracy is generic (except non-innate I guess). Modern athletics bows are already mechanical anyways, the kind you would find in a sporting goods store, and it'd only get moreso in the future.

I was considering bows too, haven't used them before so I wasn't sure if one loads the quivers into them or if ammo is extracted from inventory. But I agree they should be included if possible. Theme/lore-wise there's not exactly a reason Fallen is able to load things as disparate as a torch and an SMG other than "magic/voodoo/nexus shenanigans" so hopefully slings/bows will qualify as well.

Slings have been known to use metal (lead) bullets before, so I guess it's excusable...
