Usage

The Bow is unique amongst weapons in that it does a variable amount of damage depending on how long the button is held before being released.

At the fastest rate of fire it does 8 damage every ~1 second. The longer the button is held, the more damage is done once the bow has been drawn up to 20 damage after ~2 seconds. However, if the button is held for more than ~2 seconds, the shot will miss its target. Note: These timings are estimates. Experimentation or inspection of the code is required to get accurate timings.

It breaks after 50 shots, thus its is possible to do 1000 hp damage with one bow but very unlikely. I average about 17 hp per shot and that equals to 850 hp damage. I find bows very effective to clear out Frenzied Giants in bunker alpha.

Currently the Bow seems to do less DPS than the Spear, even without the Spear's sneak attack bonus. It seems likely that the Bow's statistics will be tweaked.

Tips

  • This item is generally useless against most enemies due to its low firing speed and pull-up time.
  • Its range, however, is useful against non-moving and slow targets such as Roaming Zombies, Turrets, and Frenzied Giants.
