If you are looking for Bow from the original Thief series you can find it here. |
The Bow is Garrett's most prominent and adaptable weapon of choice in his arsenal, the bow can be utilized as both as a powerful weapon as well as a versatile tool.
Description[]
The Bow is primarily used by Garrett for different purposes. The purpose changes depending on the situation Garrett finds himself in, whether it's creating a distraction to separate guards, killing guards or simply hitting special lock mechanisms on raised "bridges" along the Thieves' Highway (aka rooftops) to lower them.
Design[]
Unlike other bows in this era in time, Garrett's bow is a Compound Bow which can compress down to a smaller size so as to be stored on a special mount on his back-mounted Quiver. The official art of the bow depicts it as having a faded blue/black color palette, while concept art and in-game stills show it as having a very worn dark gray body and various dark brown "patches".

Trivia[]
- According to Nicolas Cantin, the bow "in itself can be as silent and deadly for the enemy, just like Garrett."
- As part of a promotional event for the 2014 Thief, Team Fortress 2 included the weapon for the Sniper class, known as the "Fortified Compound". It's a reskin of the Huntsman achievement item, right down to it having the Huntsman's kill taunt.
