Models[]
Bow[]
A simple recurve bow made of polished wood. The bow boasts high damage and rate of fire, but can only have one arrow nocked at a time. It can be modified to fire different types of damaging arrows.
Compound bow[]
A sturdy compound bow made with wooden limbs. It is more powerful than the recurve bow, but can still only have one arrow nocked at a time. The compound bow can be modified to fire different types of damaging arrows.
The compound bow was cut from the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor and originally cut again from Fallout 76. It was re-implemented in the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders.
Crossbow[]
A horizontally-mounted bow with iron sights on a wooden frame. It holds a single crossbow bolt at a time, with the exception of the Nuclear Winter game mode when it holds three.
Behind the scenes[]
Two varieties of weapon was planned from inclusion in the cancelled Van Buren, including the bow and crossbow.
