Bows

Bows and Crossbows are a type of weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. The purpose of these weapons is mid to long range combat.

Crossbows have an infinite ammo reserve of, Bows require , and the Boom Bow requires.

Functionality
Bows come in two different forms: Crossbows and Bows.

Crossbows are unique in that they do not require ammo pickups to reload (except the Dual Fiend Hunters), instead using an infinite reserve of ammo. Due to this, they deal only 1 structure damage per shot. Bows use ammo reserves and deal decent structure damage. Bows also get a targeting arc, like a Throwable Item, showing where the projectile will land.

Both Types are good for medium to long range combat, but are generally very difficult to use. All Bows (except the Dual Fiend Hunters) have a projectile bolt, meaning that the bolt does not instantly hit where the player aims. The projectile is affected by gravity. Bows do not have fall-off damage, meaning they deal the same damage up close as they do at any range.

Strategy Guide

 * It is very unwise to use a crossbow against structures, as it deals only 1 damage per shot (except the Dual Fiend Hunters.
 * The Boom Bow is useful for attacking players around structures, due to the weapon's splash damage.
