The classic Bow will never go out of style.

Bow is a gun that appears in Enter the Gungeon.

Effects

  • Charges to shoot arrows.
  • If fired fully charged, its arrows will move faster, deal more damage, and pierce enemies.

Synergies ETG

  • Synergy.png Cerebral Bros - If the player also has Bullet Bore, Bullet Bore turns red and fires two drills at a time.
  • Synergy.png Diazepam - Muscle Relaxant increases this gun's damage by 50%.
  • Synergy.png Fairy Bow - If the player also has Bomb, charge time is halved and the Bow has a chance to fire an extra arrow, similar to the Shadow Bullets effect. It also gives Cat Bullet King Throne the same effect when the bow is held even though it's not part of the synergy.
  • Synergy.png Slings and Arrows - If the player has Sling, the Bow can be charged longer to fire a special arrow that deals 50 damage.
  • Synergy.png Sniper Woof - If the player has Wolf, Bow's reload time is decreased by 30%. Standing still for long enough causes the player to glow yellow, making the Bows shots deal 50% more damage. Sniper Shells and Professionals that spawn while Bow is held become permanently charmed.

Other Appearances

  • A unique 1-Bit rendition of the Bows sprite appears on the opening page of the 'Guns' chapter in the Physical Ammonomicon.

Notes

  • Arrowkin.png Arrowkin wield the Bow.
  • The charge effect is likely a reference to the game "Titan Souls".
    • It could also be a reference to the Light Arrow from The Legend of Zelda games.
  • The Synergy.png Fairy Bow synergy may be a reference to The Legend of Zelda series, as both Bombs & Bows are present in most titles.
  • The Synergy.png Sniper Woof synergy is a reference to the game Metal Gear Solid, which contains a boss named Sniper Wolf.
  • The Synergy.png Slings and Arrows - synergy maybe is a reference to The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild as the shot from the charge of this synergy is close to one of the arrows from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
