Description[]

The Compound Bow is the strongest Bow in 7 Days to Die.

It is a medium-range weapon that fires arrows as Ammunition. To equip a different type of arrow, press and hold R, then select the ammo type you want.

Sneaking attack increases 100% extra damage in A21.

Combat[]

During combat, a Compound Bow is a powerful medium to long range weapon. At short range, however, the player may have trouble because it requires reloading for each shot.

Due to its slow firing rate, Bows should be used with care at short range against more than one enemy or wild animal.

Bows are great for stealth attacks, as firing an arrow doesn't make a sound and won't alert nearby zombies. Hitting a zombie, without killing it, does alert the zombie.
