The Aphrodite Crossbow is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 17.8.0 update.

Description[]

The Aphrodite Crossbow is a Greek mythology themed / Valentines themed, sniper weapon released in the Olympian Season Battle Pass (tier 30). It deals devastating damage if all 3 bullets hit, average capacity, and low mobility, it can 1 shot to the head with one bullet, one shot to the body with 3 bullets

Appearance[]

It appears to be a crossbow with a Valentines day-themed style except with the skull in the front with pink eyes along goes with shiny-golden details the clip of the gun appears to be a heart which is pink, the trigger is also yellow.

Performance[]

This weapon shoots three pink arrows with bullet travel time in three different directions and gives Charm to whoever they hit. When reloading, the player will shake something that looks like a pink heart.

It has both Input Delay (Receives Delay) and Output Delay (Gives Delay). This means that the Aphrodite Crossbow will have a pull-up time whenever another weapon with Output Delay (Gives Delay) is shot, then quickly switched to it, and the Aphrodite Crossbow will also give pull-up time to any weapons with Input Delay (Receives Delay) if it is shot, then quickly switched to the Input Delay (Receives Delay) weapon. The duration of the pull-up time for both the Aphrodite Crossbow and the Input Delay (Receives Delay) weapon switched to after it depends on the previously used weapon's fire rate and the Aphrodite Crossbow's fire rate, respectively.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Use it like you would use the Offensive Fireworks and except with a strong charm effect but without area damage
  • The charm effect is useful when someone is close to shredding you with high-damage weapons.
  • Pair this with a weapon for higher mobility such as the Pulling Sucker Gun.
  • Take advantage of its triple shot attribute by aiming for the enemy's head in close range with both shots.
  • The arrows have travel time but on the bright side, they move slightly fast, so using it at long ranges is still OK.
  • Shoot it at your teammates to heal them, especially in Clan Raids or Monster Siege when they encounter the enemies.
  • Get close to your enemy and make all 3 arrows hit him and it will be a 1 shot kill no matter what.
  • Try not to use this weapon in longer ranges as this weapon has travel time. Although you could possibly hit your opponents if you can predict their movement, it is not a good strategy as you can be picked off by your opponents if you fail to hit them.
  • This weapon is surprisingly good in Clan Raid.

Counters[]

  • When engaged in a sniper battle, take time to aim and use a hitscan Sniper like Anti-Champion Rifle to kill them quickly and give you time to dodge the arrows.
  • If you get hit by this weapon, hide or rocket jump away until the Charm effect goes off and then ambush the enemy by strafing.
  • Attack its users from behind.
  • Using a spammable and high mobility melee weapon whilst strafing and dodging around also helps in countering its users.
  • Put some distance between your opponent. Then, they will not be able to do as much damage as well as it will be hard for them to hit you.
  • To deflect the AoE effect of its arrows, Use the gadget "Stone Skin" because of its Area Damage. Stone Skin can be use only from Heavy section when you combine Magic Module, Pouch and Shrapnel.
  • Using a weakening weapon, like the Killer Chord, is very good for reducing the damage done by this weapon.
