Max pullback:

  • Headshot (no helmet): 123
  • Chest: 70

Instant fire:

Players can use two hop-ups to up their Bocek Bow game, which can be equipped simultaneously and switched up on the fly.

The Bocek Bow features an exclusive ammo type in the form of arrows which, after shooting, can get lodged in walls or the ground and can be picked up by anyone.

With the silence of the bow and incredibly low projectile drop, it could be a formidable weapon in the hands of skilled players.
