The Boom Bow is a bow which needs to be charged up in order to fire. The longer the bow is charged, the further the player can launch the projectile, but the damage is the same regardless of charge. When the bow is charged, or in the process of, the player gets an indicator arc similar to a Grenade that shows where the projectile will land and the arc it will follow. The projectile launched is a very fast explosive arrow with a small range of splash damage.

== Strategy Guide==
*The Boom Bow can be used to hit enemies around structures due to its splash damage.
*Using the weapon's arc can be much easier than hitting a player at long range with a Sniper Rifle due to it being much easier to judge bullet drop.
*Since the Boom Bow uses rather than arrows, this means that you have 51 shots available to fire with the Boom Bow. Because of this, you don't need to worry about how much reserve you have with the Boom Bow in most situations.
*The Boom Bow deals decent damage to structures. Because of this, you can use the Boom Bow to destroy freshly-built structures.
* Despite its explosive properties, the Boom Bow will only damage you if you hit directly under yourself. Because of this, the Boom Bow can be used effectively at close ranges, although this is not ideal.
