Overview[edit | edit source]
The Compound Bow in Sons of the Forest is a powerful ranged weapon that delivers high damage and precise shots. It is located in Maintenance B, which requires the Shovel to access. The Compound Bow is more accurate and deals more damage than the Crafted Bow, making it a superior choice for ranged combat.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The Compound Bow excels in stealth combat, allowing for silent takedowns. It supports all types of arrows, each with varying damage outputs. Charging the bow fully before releasing ensures maximum power and accuracy, ideal for headshots or crippling enemies.
Tips & Tricks[edit | edit source]
- Use Carbon Fiber Arrows for maximum damage and accuracy, especially when aiming for the head.
- Retrieve your arrows after each shot to conserve ammunition.
Worth it?[edit | edit source]
Absolutely! The Compound Bow is an essential weapon for players focusing on stealth and precision, providing superior damage and accuracy compared to the other bow.
