Apex News: Compbound-bow as floor loot spotted??

Before we head to the news that we got I want to talk about volt SMG and about these new changes that might change

Data miner Shrug give some kind of explanation about what expect to happen to the volt SMG:

"I had originally theorized that Volt would go to the care package and the Devotion would return to the floor (for Rampart passive). Mainly because it's hitscan in TF2, which means it either needs to be nerfed and still compete with other SMG or go to CP."

"However, they don't mention anything about Care Package on the page. So if it isn't, they would need to replace the Devotion with one of it's SMG competitors, namely the Prowler or the R99. Otherwise it might just end up being a worse/strictly better Havoc/Prowler/R99."

So let's get to the teaser that has dropped for pretty long.

Look at the pics that I posted (:

I don't want to post the ammo type pic but If everyone want I can sent it as private message

I heard about this today and it sounds super interesting!
I think really the limits for a weapon like this is that it's ammo would be limited to just that one weapon. I love the idea of having a more risk/reward weapon in the game, and having something silent like a compound bow would mean getting third partied less while sniping.

@Elamami3440 Explosive ammo types have been teased for a while now, and there are so many grenade launcher weapons in Titanfall to choose from. I wonder if we'll just see one or multiple of these types of new weapons dropping at once

I requested a bow not that long ago, so i can finally feel like a proper Hunter as Bloodhound. I can't tell you how much im looking forward to this one. Already got 1200 Metal that is waiting for a legendary Bow, my friends told me im crazy and mad for saving them for it.

@MandatoryIDtag There is also a lot of potential for crazy hop ups for it. Like ricochet arrows that bounce of a wall but causes damage loss. I don't care if its a viable option, i will master it.

@BigBlackCaustic Yeah man, thats what I ended up discussing with an old forum member in that thread lol.
The scope for hop ups is huge. 😛

@MandatoryIDtag I also should mention that i want the arrows to be somewhat limited, just enough to prevent mindless spam.
