So I'm working on a custom scarlett figure and I'm not sure how to arm her. Crossbows seem obsolete, not enough range and too long to reload. But I want to stay true to the character. I figured the precision required for a crossbow would translate well to a sniper. However, her close/midrange fighting style might mean she would be better off with silenced pistols, perhaps with laser sights...
Thoughts? |

I would say the silenced pistols, she is a silent weapons expert. while i'm sure she is a fair sniper, that was never really her role.

Per her original file card she finished Marine sniper school and was a qualified expert with the Remington M-700. I'd say she was more than fair at being a sniper. I would give her a suppressed rifle with a silenced sidearm.

Thoughts? to me, it would be like changing these things, and saying: storm shadow is not a ninja spirit is not an Indian destro is not a weapons dealer steeler does not drive the mobat you just cant change these things. if you do, you really are just making a new character and using the same name. I would suggest making the crossbow into a more hi-tech weapons system that can do far more than just shoot arrows. But, it needs to at least look like a cross bow. |

Crossbows still are used by the military all over the world.
Crossbow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You could give her a grapnel hook launcher/crossbow a little like the Alley Viper had on his backpack. |

But since I'm a die hard ARAH fan, I would outfit her with a modern version crossbow like this one:

Why not add a cartridge to the crossbow like spirit has on his weapon?

I'm all for changing and reinterpreting characters, but the crossbow lends her a certain uniqueness. I made my Scarlett an angry, vicious, battle-hardened badass. ...but I kept the crossbow. |
