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

Characteristics

A sturdy compound bow with wooden limbs. Compared to the bow, the compound bow has higher base damage with a slightly longer attack delay and longer time to fully draw. As with all bows, the compound bow is equipped with a hidden silencer in the game files, granting it sneak attack functionality similar to that of a suppressor. The compound bow cannot be equipped while wearing power armor.
