The Recurve Bow is a high-skill, medium- to long-ranged bow that shoots arrows in a curved arc. Its range and damage increase the further back the bowstring has been drawn. This weapon offers a middle ground between the LH1 marksman rifle and the SR-84 sniper rifle. It lacks the firing speed and consistency of the LH1, but is more versatile and dynamic than the SR-84. Using secondary fire will zoom in on the user's crosshair, allowing for easier long-range combat.
Draw Length
The Recurve Bow has a unique mechanic: the longer the primary fire button is held, the longer the range and the higher the damage of the arrow. Full draw takes 1.25 seconds to reach, but the arrow can be shot at any time before then, where damage and range of the arrow scales linearly with draw time.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Capable of high damage at long range
- Dynamic and can be effective at nearly any range
Cons:
- Requires high precision to be effective
- Slow firing time
- Inconsistent damage for users not familiar with the draw length mechanic
Playstyle
The variable draw length of the Recurve Bow allows it to be a versatile weapon in the arena. It can fill the role of a sniper with a precise, long-drawn shot, or allow the user to be more aggressive and fire volleys of low-damage arrows at short range.

Trivia
The name Recurve Bow refers to the shape of the bow, where the end of the limbs "re-curve" away from the user. This results in the arrow having more speed than from a bow with traditional limb curvature, such as a longbow.
