Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon[]

« It’s a bow. Seriously, if you need a description of what a bow does, maybe you should stop playing. Maybe read a dictionary. People who don’t know what bows are get shot in the eyeballs. "But a bow isn't the future", you're whining. That's why we put neon on it, because neon is the future. Hence, this is a bow of the future. »

Data Console


The Bow is a weapon featured in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

It behaves identically to the regular Far Cry 3 bow, except outlined in glowing neon. The arrows also glow, and leave a neon trail in the air when fired, which makes it much easier to judge the trajectory of the arrows and re-adjust aim if necessary. Unlike the main game's recurve bow, scope upgrades are not available for the bow in Blood Dragon, so the player is stuck with the built-in default sights. However, the bow arguably has greater utility in Blood Dragon compared to Far Cry 3, as the game lacks a silenced sniper rifle, leaving the bow as the only practical silent sniping weapon at long range (due to the A.J.M. 9's lack of range or one-shot-kill stopping power).

Weapon Description

The Bow as it appeared in Blood Dragon returns in Far Cry New Dawn as an easter egg and a usable weapon. it is a Rank 4 weapon and the final bow that the player acquires. In addition, the arrows the bow utilizes are modified to match the Blood Dragon aesthetic, with blue glowing lighting, as well as an addition of incendiary and explosive arrows, however, they do not leave trails as they did in the original game.

Trivia[]

  • As a silent weapon, the bow is ideal for stealth kills.
    • The neon glow of the weapon does not make Rex more visible to enemies, so regular stealth tactics still work just fine.
  • None of the Omega Force soldiers are ever seen using a bow; though there are many arrows stockpiled on the island.
