Posted June 5, 2018 So whilst trying out the new "spar to complete defeat players with x weapon" update, i sparred with my alt, as the weapon was bow, and found that, once spar was initiated, i could back off and continue fighting (as the bow wouldn't fire at close range) and despite getting low health, the combat wouldnt stop [18:01:18] Your war arrow hits Chainsmoker in the chest. [18:01:18] You hit Chainsmoker very hard in the chest and harm it. [18:01:18] Chainsmoker is dead! tested this twice and was able to kill twice. Not sure if it existed before or not as never really had a reason to use archery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) IIRC there has always been a bug with archery and spars, thought it was on the wiki but I can't find it atm. Edited June 5, 2018 by boilingfort Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2018 Just tested, spar will never end even if down to literally 1 health using a bow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Also the spar method to complete "defeat another player with a bow" does not seem to work with bows, I suspect the reason is that spar is not finished and completed with the bows like using melee items as weapons. Even if you actually kill your opponent on a PVE server the achievement does not kick in as I've witnessed it today. Edited June 16, 2018 by Jaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The achievement doesn't seem to work by shooting. It's tricky, but it is a different issue. Last I followed it, these days, my allies made it work when: you equip the bow in the right hand, (probably) have 20+ weaponless, wear no pants and kick the other character in a spar.

Tried it right now, yes that way the achievement kicks in (literally ). A bit silly, but works. The goal cannot be reached shooting the opponent though...
