    Did Crossbow get Nerfed Again?

    Haven't played since summer - I used to be able to 1 shot Armor plates on big guys with my Crossbow on Heroic. Now the armor plates are taking 2 - 3 bolts.
    Did they nerf crossbow damage again?

    I think they're thinking of back when explosive damage bypassed armor plates altogether. Otherwise, the cross bow has NEVER been able to oneshot heavies.

    It have always been 2 shots for an armor plate. Ofc, on Heroic.
    Maybe, with a lot of buffs and Glass Cannon...., but without it - 2 shots.

    I was able to one shot armor plates even on legendary, so i'm not sure if it's just a matter of very small damage buffs needed

    My wife and I used to duo legendaries, with her as an all yellow Survivalist. She definitely one-shot armor plates on both tanks and warhounds using the crossbow with zero damage buffs.

    Mmm.
    I was talking about Tanks, not warhouds.
    Although, Warhouds does NOT have armor plates on legs and some weak spots. Plus you can deal explosive damage directly to their health pool. And the have less armor than Tanks.
