when will this beauty be available at the GW or MB store?

Sure it would be nice in the BM or GW for whoever wants it, but let's not get carried away.

1000 gold in BM or 2000 RP in GW.

The Cripple Winter Bow is way better.

If that weapon was free, I’m still not sure I’d ever use it

Agree. 

There's a growing group of mid range players that use A LOT of Shooters and weapons like this. 

Fascinated by the big damage number. 

But you are inadvertently creating your own cieling that you cannot pass. 

Raw damage will only carry you so far, and then you'll need to learn actual strategy and gameplay mechanics if you want to break through your ceiling... And this bow will not help with that. Not one bit.

Is the cripple winter bow the best shooter weapon for yumiko? Besides the import .57?

Yes, the winter bow with lucky/crippling. 

2 - 4 tied, depending on the mission. 

Number 1 on the shelf

The .57 is a country mile ahead of the flaming crossbow pistol and any other for me, apart from maps where you want to stay quiet. Since you're mostly shooting walkers within assault range you don't really miss the range. I'd rather have maxed cripple/fire chances with a tasty damage bump.

I disagree. Esp on GW maps with 4+ heavies. Being able to light one up from across the map is quite nice, esp if you need time to deal with others that are closer. 

Don't get me wrong, i use the Import on my FTP account and do island 20 every week with him too, so i know both weapons very well.

Both the Import and the CripXbow are very good and serve well. Slight diff in utility but equal goodness.

I get that, I guess when you use Mercer most of the times any attack like that is a missed opportunity, both to recharge and for the damage.

I'd rather wait until they're in range and kill the heavy in 2 turns 🤷‍♂️

True true, with Mercer charging is most important. 

But with offensive princess she is full charge on a sneeze so there's lots of times with free actions for Yumiko to pop off.

let's go then....

using the SPY team, what would be the best weapon order for YUMIKO?

1 - killer bow

2 - winter bow

3 - .57

4 - Flaming Crossbow Pistol

what would be the correct order?

The first one is the worst by a country mile. 

Well we may debate a bit on the degree of usefulness of the top 3, but I think we all agree that assassin bow does not belong in this group.

@ATLAS-Z

for me, I play for free....it became clear that if I had to buy (real money) any of them, I would buy Flaming Crossbow Pistol.

I'm all ears to know more about the top 3!

Well sadly you can't buy the import. But maybe I'll bug NG to make something similar for sale. But yes, the LCFCP is a top choice right now.

I know staying stationary isn't ideal for GW maps but for some (search for clues) I think being able to shoot with cripple bow and potentially open a box with the extra move would be handy. Same with the tactical decimator

You don't need the Cripple bow for that. Sasha with Harpoon (root on charge attack, then open box) or Mercer/Princess with Tactical Decimator is more than enough shoot/move. The fire is more helpful, IMO.

(I do still like the Cripple Bow, and I use it in early rounds of the challenge or in certain challenge situations where I'm not playing SMY, but it's not needed on an SMY team).

Where do we find the import .57 with special effect? Is it normally a gw weapon?

Unfortunately so. It was in a guild shop a while back so no longer available.

I’m crossing my fingers there’ll be a shooter weapon available which will be very similar tomorrow in the new guild shop, maybe even slightly better  

Flaming crossbow is great! With Gold Lucky and Gold Cripple? I use the same weapon in the Someone Special skin. But possibly not for much longer, fingers crossed
