T.Bow (active reload) & Reload v. A.reload

[Darkhuman]

hey again all, I got a few questions....

1.What's the diffrence between a torque bow arrow and an active reload arrow???
*(Boomshot too, For that matter)
2.anyone know how many shots each gun takes to kill / down someone, and how many active reload shots each gun takes to kill/down? i know a sniper active reload kills.(right?) and for shotguns, you must take distance into consideration.

torque bow and boomshot take one hit to kill. (spalsh damange wont do it unless the person is already hurt)

as far as active reload goes... im pretty sure it just makes it reload faster for the boomshot and for the torque bow you just get the draw back of the bow faster so you can get the penetration quicker than a normal reload.

Boomshot gets an AoE bonus when actively reloaded, I'd imagine the torque bow does as well.

Does the damage bonus on an active reload apply to the entire magazine? Does this damage bonus last forever or only for a few seconds after the active reload?

Also, do you have to nail it right on the line for the damage bonus? I'm under the impression that anywhere in the ''non-jam'' box will reload quickly but you have to hit it right on the money for the damage increase.

Just got the game and am loving it. Thanks for the tips!

You are right about the active reload getting a faster torque on the bow, but you are wrong about no damage boost. Both the Boomshot and the TorqueBow get a damage boost (you can kill without getting a direct hit with the increased splash damage). The active reload boomshot is just nasty against a team huddled in a corner together
