PuffyPony Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Compounds are the strongest in base damage when using Metal Arrows (they also ignore armor). Crossbows with Flame Arrows are pretty strong competitors, but it depends on how much HP your target has and the overall DPS is lower. Between the three, though, I'd generally recommend using the Crossbow. It's cheaper than the Compound Bow, better for taming (the Compound Bow isn't much better than the Wooden Bow), and can be used underwater. I'd save your Compound Bow for caves and bosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rintrahhh Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The crossbow is the only one that works underwater also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Firing anything other than metal arrows from a compound causes massive durability loss. Using metal arrows, you almost use no durability. Compound is I believe 200 base damage and it ignores armor. xbow is 90 base damage and is impacted by armor. Regular bow is, I believe, 40 base damage. Bow fires a lot quicker than xbow. Despite what the wiki says, the draw time is like .2 seconds for max damage. Same with compound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo1234 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Bow- Early game. Use stone arrows. Useful for PvP and killing some dinos Crossbow- All game periods. Use flame, tranq arrows or grapples (Use stone arrows early game). Best for killing non-flying dinosaurs (flame arrows), taming dinosaurs and grappling things. Compound Bow- Late game. Use metal arrows. Best for killing flying dinosaurs. Only use with metal arrows. Flame and tranq arrows used with this bow are less effective than with the crossbow.
