The Warrior Bow is a bow type introduced in Horizon Forbidden West.
Description[]
The Warrior Bow is designed for short-to-mid range combat. Unlike Hunter or Sharpshot Bows, they will always fire at full power, but do the lowest damage per shot of any type of bow. Coupled with the steep projectile arch and high inaccuracy, especially when not using Concentration, and their usefulness falls off quickly outside of close range. However, since elemental build up is not tied to damage dealt, and is instead determined by ammo type and element modifications, they can very quickly apply elemental statuses.
By default, all Warrior Bows have a base 5% chance of landing a critical hit that deals 100% more damage. Warrior Bows capable of Overdrawing also have a default 10% damage bonus.
