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.
Compound bows may be crafted at a weapons workbench if the corresponding plan is known.
Compound bows may be found as legendary weapons if the relevant plan is known. Legendary items can be earned either as quest rewards or purchased from Purveyor Murmrgh.
The compound bow was originally cut from the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor and then later cut again from the Fallout 76 release. It was finally implemented in Wastelanders.
