The Professional Bow is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 16.5.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time from the Event Chest.
Description[]
It is a bow that has charge shot. It has good damage, a low fire rate, low capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance[]
It takes the appearance of a modern compound bow.
It has an orange/grey body with a black bow string, grey cams, an orange grip, a grey arrow sight, and a grey arrow already inserted in the arrow rest.
Performance[]
This weapon shoots an arrow that can be charged. The more it is charged, the more it deals damage. Moreover, this projectile, which is a wooden arrow with an iron tip, has instant bullet travel time and area damage.
It is a bow, so it uses the single-shot system, therefore, it has no reload animation. Moreover, it has no delay mechanics.
Strategy[]
Tips[]
- It lacks a scope, meaning that one might find it difficult to use the weapon at longer range.
- Hold the fire button to charge up the shot as it can only be fired when fully charged.
- Move around while charging up the shot, to avoid getting hit.
- Make sure you are behind cover or not out in the open when using this weapon.
- You can hold the charge indefinitely, this is useful when waiting for targets or when the target is out of the line of sight.
- Do not use it in close ranges, as you will just injure or even kill yourself in the process.
- The arrows are explosive, therefore it makes it useful for crowd control.
- Pair this with the Singular Grenade to gain easy points and kills.
- Aim at the ground around the user to guarantee a successful hit.
- One can use the explosive arrows to hit enemies behind cover.
- Remember that this weapon has looping shot so aim higher from long distances.
Counters[]
- Pick off its users at long range.
- Bunny hop, in case you encounter its explosions.
- Area damage weapons and shotguns can quickly finish users off.
- Strafe around the user while firing to avoid getting hit.
- Do not try to kill them if you encounter them face-to-face, since its projectiles will be released upon death. Try to flank the user instead.
- Try to avoid getting into the user's line of sight or general aiming direction.
- Most Sniper weapons can outclass this weapon if they are used correctly.
- Flank around the user with Melee weapon and attack them from behind.
- Flamethrowers can be useful for quickly killing users at close range.
- Avoid sticking too close to objects such as walls or behind cover due to the explosive arrows.
- Because this weapon gives the enemy very low mobility, use a weapon with 85 mobility or higher, such as the Double Cashbacks, to escape.
