The Forest Sniper Bow is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 15.9.0 update.
Description
It is a forest-themed bow that shoots cyan arrows. It has good damage, a high fire rate, low capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance
It appears to be a reskin of the Tactical Bow. It has a light blue holographic sight on the left side of the bow, and has a forest green frame. It also features a light blue drawstring and a light blue arrow.
Performance
The player shoots the arrow at a relatively high attack speed. The arrows, which are cyan, have instant bullet travel time. The Forest Sniper Bow is a precision weapon that can deal good amounts of damage. With its optic sight, it can effectively counter snipers.
This weapon is a bow, so it uses the single-shot system, therefore it has no reload animation. It has no delay mechanics either.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon can be used as a substitute for sniper rifles due to its increased range. In addition to this, the Forest Sniper Bow is silent and shoots fast-moving arrows, which makes this weapon amazingly stealthy.
- This weapon is useful for long range crowd control, due to its fast firing rate for a sniper weapon. Just make sure you're hidden.
- This weapon is also very useful for strafing, as the player is able to dash around the battlefield while also being able to take out targets at range.
- Aiming for the head is critical as it can easily take down enemies, as a headshot with the bow deals a high amount of damage.
- You can use a primary weapon such as the Tactical Rifle, Casanova or Future Police Rifle to weaken enemies, then use this weapon to pick off the enemies while they are weak at a longer range.
Counters
- While this weapon is effective at sniping, it lacks in strength so players should aim for enemies' heads
- Users of this weapons can be easily killed with sniper weapons that outmatch it.
- This weapon has limited range, so try to counter users of the weapon from very far away.
