Long-Bow (Bow)

Long-bow (or bow, as I will keep referring to it) is the best weapon in the game, due to its infinite range and fast reloading.

A body-shot by an arrow deals a small amount of damage, but a headshot instantly kills your opponent, (which is why it's so good).

Also when using a Long-Bow or Crossbow you don't have to deal with your opponent's massive range of attack (if he's using Kanabo/Brute Mace and he has a bad connection).

 How to get good: 

-Try to headshot people that stand still a lot, since it gives you time to take aim. As you keep getting good try to headshot people while they are moving in a straight line. [How you do that is by aligning your cursor in the direction where you think they will be next,  (depends on distance and the speed your opponent is moving by)  ]

But most of the time when you're in danger you would want to body-shoot cause it will be close to impossible to headshot, (since your opponent would just flail randomly or start doing ballet moves).

 Counters, (if you can even call them that): 

-Hide behind objects that completely cover you. [have a friend help you, or you will just stand there, or respawn to make your opponent think you're still there, (do that only if you haven't been shot yet or your death will add to his spree) ].

-Some weapons hide parts of the player's head:

< last one is parry, not a weapon (you do it by pressing f) (the shield doesn't protect your body)

But don't relay on this, since it only covers your bottom part of your head, (which is pretty useless, but still something).

-Try to randomly move or try to move in a way that it would be hard for your opponent to hit you.

-Try to bait him to fire [by standing still and then moving away when you think he will fire,  (not advised if you don't know what you're doing) ]

-Try using trumpet or cannon (if you know how to aim it) to surprise your opponent.

-Hide out of view, (blind spot) (this one is the advanced version of the first counter and it's really good since you could still move around the map) these ones could be:



 Things NOT to do when using Bows (Optional): 

-Aiming at other bow users (unprovoked): Its a bad idea cause the bows (Cross-bow and Long-bow) are becoming more popular and it loud be hard to tell whose shooting at you (when there are several other people with the same weapon).

''' NEWS: Bow has been nerfed! '''

You can no longer snipe easily with the bow, due to the arrow nosediving at long distances. This makes the cross-bow the easiest bow to snipe with, since the cross-bow haven't been changed.

Now that the range of the long-bow has been decrease you will need to account for the distance witch the further your opponent is away from your range, the further you will need to move your cursor above your opponent (which you can get used to quickly).
