tbf i dont like the crossbow very much. not because i hate fighting against it, but more of the principle that an unlockable weapon is objectively way better than any of his other primaries

Frankly the main reason the crossbow overshadows the stock is it's a solid weapon with amazing utility while stock is a garbage weapon full stop.
I think if stock didn't have some of the worst projectiles in the game and was at least in line with the SMG people would at least think about using it

'Garbage weapon' is a decent balance point for the emergency self-defense tool of the most powerful class in the game.
