Recurve Bow



A Bow and Arrow is a ranged weapon system consisting of an elastic launching device (bow) and long-shafted projectiles (arrows). Archery is the art, practice, or skill of using bows to shoot arrows. A person who shoots arrows with a bow is called a bowman or an archer.

The use of bows and arrows by humans for hunting predates recorded history and was common to many prehistoric cultures. They were important weapons of war from ancient history until the early modern period, where they were rendered increasingly obsolete by the development of the more powerful and accurate firearms, and were eventually dropped from warfare. Today, bows and arrows are mostly used for hunting and sports.

- In-game Description

Two variants of a bow and arrow are featured in Battlefield Heroes: the Royal Arcus Root and National Bending Bone. Available for the Commando kit, both weapons were introduced with the Halloween 2012 bundle.

Both weapons are optimized for medium ranged combat. Arrows fired travel as fast as RPGs, making it difficult to hit targets from long distances. At short ranges, arrows output low damage output

Both bows have an unlimited amount of arrows, with headshots dealing 50 points damage. This is countered by the relatively low rate of fire of 45. Bows zoom to .25 when in scope, is extremely slow to move while in scope, and shows several bubbles in a horizontal fashion for aiming.
