The bow is a rifle which makes no sound
Basically the Bow makes no noise, so the hit is much harder to spot where it is being shot from. EDIT: It also has no reload. EDIT 2: also, it seems to be hit-scan when fully charged so no arrow dr...

- @Vdstrk If you get third-partied or you third-party a squad, it doesn't really matter whether your weapon makes noise or not. Whether I land a Sentinel shot or a Bocek shot, it will yield the same outcome.
@Peri_Longbow_plz
it obviously does make a difference.
All guns make noise when shot. it allows you to tell where you are being shot from. Now.
Imagine a player having a gun that makes no sound, and you are the one being third partied.... you cannot even tell where they are shooting you from. So you cannot run for cover, cannot shoot back.... etcAnd because it makes no noise, your team mates will not be able to identify the enemy, unless they happen to see the player shooting. Noise will not be of any help, because THERE IS NONE!
- @Vdstrk Unless you have it disabled, you can see damage feedback which will show you where shots are coming from. And players aren't that hard to notice unlike in other BR's in which you can hide inside a bush and not be seen throughout the entire match, whilst in Apex people can spot you hiding in a corner from several hundred meters away. It's not that hard to counter this weapon if you pay attention to the damage feedback the HUD is giving you.
Furthermore, this will slightly reduce the amount of times you'll get third-partied to begin with because people won't hear your gunshots. If it really turns out to be OP, then it will get nerfed in one way or another.
so nothing else matter as long as YOU hit that shot?
