The Booming Bow is an Explosive Bow assimilated into the Archery Tournament Update, it is obtainable through the 'Parcher' Bag.
Strategy[]
Twisting the common use of an Explosive Weapon, this Bow sacrifices its damage for a splash effect and instant-hit projectiles once reaching its second charge. Dissimilarly as well is its good agility & reload speed, yet consisting of great range, accuracy, and dipping projectiles; this dictated by how great the string pull is before letting go. Opposite of its tip, this arrow only puts a dent in moderate builds, even at maximum velocity.
Thanks to its projectile speed and splash, the usability of this weapon in Camping is exceptional, with the main inquiry for practice simply being its auto-aim is disabled, however having a tight crosshair - learn when to time arrows from Afar. Arching is also viable in a Run And Gun for this Bow as well, just maintain a mid-range distance from Shotguns, Water Weapons, and Heavy Weapons.
