The Compound Bow is a Primary Receiver available in Blacklight: Retribution.
Weapon Overview
The Compound Bow is a unique weapon in Blacklight: Retribution as it is the only Primary Receiver that does not fire bullets yet is still a projectile weapon. Because this weapon fires actual projectiles (arrows) it does not use the hit-scan method most weapons use to determine hits and misses. This enables released arrows to kill enemy players after the firer has been killed.
This weapon's firerate is comparable to the Bolt-Action Rifle but does considerably more damage after releasing an arrow that has been notched and pulled back all the way.
Also, when firing the Compound Bow the arrows travel is a slight arc and if the player is killed with an arrow notched and pulled back all the way, the arrow will be fired.
Usage
The Compound Bow has two firing modes; both require the player to hold down one or more mouse buttons.
Mode 1
Pressing and holding the left mouse button will notch an arrow but the bow will be held diagonally. Releasing the left mouse button will fire the arrow. Arrows fired like this will deal 180 damage. This mode is suitable for quickly firing arrows at close range as the player does not have to draw and hold a notched arrow.
Mode 2
Pressing and holding the right mouse button will bring the bow to a vertical position enabling the player to aim down the bow's sights. Then pressing and holding the left mouse button will cause the player to load and pull an arrow back against the bow string. Releasing left mouse button will fire the arrow while releasing right mouse button will not fire the arrow and bring the bow back to its default resting position.
Arrows fired in this mode will do the max damage only if the arrow is pulled all the way back then fired.
