Boom Bow

The Boom Bow is a legendary weapon in Fortnite ‘s Battle Royale mode and is one of the explosive weapons in the game. The weapon was also added to the Save the World campaign with Content Update – No. 2 of Patch V.9.30. The bow shoots arrows tipped with a shotgun shell that explodes on hit. Accordingly, you also need shotgun ammo for this weapon.

The longer you hold down the shoot button, the faster the projectile flies. The explosion damage is constant regardless of the power of the shot. After 1.6 seconds of charging, the bow reaches its maximum strength. A direct hit will deal both impact and explosive damage to the enemy hit. So a direct hit takes 15 base damage from the enemy (double base damage for a headshot) and 100 blast damage.

How does Fortnite work?

“Fortnite: Battle Royale” comes in a variety of game modes. Players can either compete alone, in pairs or in teams of four. The teams are formed either from known players or randomly from strangers. Team members can exchange information and discuss strategies via voice chat.

The gameplay is the same for all modes: At the beginning, all online players are in a virtual waiting room until they are randomly assigned to a game. A round starts with 100 opponents landing on a deserted island. The goal is to beat the other players and to be the last to survive – if you play as a team, you all win together. Opponents are not shown on the overview map after landing on the island. The player must therefore always be on the lookout for attacks. To survive, raw materials and equipment must be collected. Building materials such as wood or stone are obtained with a pickaxe. With the help of these raw materials, protective walls and entire forts can be built to protect against enemy attacks. Players can also overcome cliffs or other obstacles by building stairs and bridges themselves. Weapons and health kits are hidden in crates and piñatas. Good equipment increases the chances of surviving against an opponent. Searching, hiding and building are important parts of the game.
