✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent download count (60,948) shows real interest in the concept.
- Level 20 support is a nice touch for players who want endgame content.
- Thematic focus on a unique weapon makes it stand out from standard subclasses.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 41 endorsements compared to downloads—might be a niche pick.
- Description is cut off, so you're flying blind on exact mechanics.
- No mention of compatibility with other mods or game patches—could break with updates.
For players who love the Steel Watch crossbow and want a subclass built entirely around it. If you're into homebrew content and don't mind some uncertainty, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer polished, well-documented mods.
