Wastelanders

The bow is a weapon in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.

Characteristics

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. As with all bows, the bow is equipped with a hidden silencer in the game files, granting it Sneak functionality similar to that of a suppressor. The bow cannot be equipped while wearing power armor.
