Bow
The Bow is a projectile weapon that mainly provides movement through its double jump passive and short cooldown. It also allows for quick shots with a high fire rate.
Crossbow
The Crossbow is a primary weapon that is frequently used as an alternative to the Sniper. It has perfect accuracy while hip-firing, faster movement speed, and the ability to bypass Katana. The Crossbow has one ammo in the magazine, but since the reload speed is so fast, this is not a detriment to the player.
Standard rarity.
