Crysis 3: 10 Reasons It's Awesome

5. The Compound Bow

The Compound Bow is my new favourite weapon in the Crysis universe, because it is distinguished as the only weapon that can be fired while you are cloaked without expending any stealth energy. This allows for some extremely efficient, stealthy killing, but also provides an out for players who might get themselves into a sticky situation; the Compound Bow will save your ass time and time again. But wait, there's more! The Bow also has five different types of arrow for your destructive pleasure; a standard arrow, an electric stun arrow, a recon arrow (to tag team-mates during multiplayer), Thermite arrows (to disable turrets) and my personal favourite, the good 'ol fashioned explosive arrow. Adding even further customisation, you are able to alter the draw weight to make for a more powerful, longer-distance shot, or reduce it and not waste any Nanosuit power. Easily one of the best things about Crysis 3, the Compound Bow isn't just a badass weapon - it caters to every possible play style.
