Trivia[]
- This is the second bow introduced in the game after Crossbow.
- It is categorized under assault rifle category even though it is actually not an assault rifle.
- The in-game design of the Bow is quite similar with Predator Bow from Crysis 3.
- When firing in B mode, the arrow will leave a light trail which is similar to Thunderbolt's. The light trail could penetrate anything, and could go as far as the map goes.
- There's a bug when you hold the B mode and quickly switch to another weapon, if you switch it back, it will fire a trail that does not deal any damage.
- The arrows could get stuck on walls or bodies, similar to the Tactical Knife.
- After fully enhanced, the user can hold up to 100 arrows.
- The planet paint was the only weapon paint not released in CSN:Z possibly due to it being absent in Top 50 Decoder list, therefore not many players own it.
- The name for the weapon in the China region, "鹰眼", translates to "Hawkeye", referring to the Marvel Comic character of the same name.
