Title says it all but to clarify, when playing on single player there were a few times that the computer AI would run over and smash a weapon rack and drop their crystal weapon (basically the best end-game weapon). I hope this can be fixed in a patch.

If you have opened up your 2nd weapon slot, always put the weapon you want to keep into your Primary slot. The second slot gets freequently swapped out so always keep your Best weapon in your Primary Weapon Slot.

I don't know about the bots but after playing up to maybe Act 3 with the Crystal weapon, a weapon of the same type (fast) dropped with 2 times the damage and I switched and never looked back. the thing can 2 shot Minotaurs on Old School while buffed with that shield breaking icon skill.. or 6-8 shot without the buff and that skill, directly to the head. The crystal bow when I switched back to test, just couldn't do it. I also stick with medium, slow bows more though.

Well I Cannot Comment on Crystal weapons because I have yet to Encounter any of them. I probably Still have stuff and secrets to find.

Yeah, Crystal weapons were not the best I found. They may look the coolest, but there were better weapons before you reached the end.

Depends, the green quality weapons have random stats. Regardless, the NPC will in fact drop for inferior weapons. Case in point:

Crystal Bow - Speed Fast, DMG 151 dropped and replaced by:

Truth - Speed Fast, DMG 121

What is the speed / dmg / name of your current weapons?

My my regular non magic fast bow did 163 damage but the medium bow I use does over 253 but I can't remember exactly. Those are all I use. didn't bother with the Crystal one.

Cool, I guess I should have asked the dungeon - I played through the last chapter again and all the Tier 4 weapons that dropped were inferior to the crystal one. This game does have some odd balance with regards to weapons though, especially the green weapon which seem to have quite a wide dmg variance.

Yeah where the hell did you find those? I'm at the end boss right now on hardcoe and the Crystal bow is the best I've found. Are you playing a new game +?

Well on some chapters you will notice if you die and restart, you're right at some weapon racks. In that situation I shoot those, look to see if they are good and if not reload it again and again. Eventually something quite good will drop. if course usually there is a huge fight following that, and you would have to live it. Like for instance that reload spot before the cut-down trees area the big battle is with the sleg in the middle... I never drink that stuff, so it's a risky fight and if I die, I lose that amazing weapon and have to do anywhere from 1-30 reloads to try to get it again.

My best Long Range(Sniper) slow loading bow was called Grave-caller or somesuch.
494 damage per shot. I truely wish I would have kept that damn thing. But I hadn't
opened up my second weapon slot yet and I needed a faster bow so I swapped.
I Do have another Grave-caller that does 444 damage and if At all possable
I am not getting rid of this one.

I also have a Rapid fire Truth Bow that does something like 120+dmg per shot
I would like to keep them both unless I find better bows.

The Truth and Grave-caller Bows seem to be the best General Bows in the game.
Running through Game+ with these 2 weapons is a blast. I just wish that the
crystal chests were not "empty" on game+ run through's
