− | + | Greatbows are the most powerful neolithic-tier ranged weapon, but is rapidly outclassed by even early guns of the same [[quality]]. | |

− | The | + | The greatbow dominates the [[recurve bow]] in terms of damage and range, and handily beats all other weapons available to a [[Scenario_system#New_Tribe_vs_New_Arrivals|New Tribe]]. Accuracy, especially in short-medium range, is very good, and it can stagger up to [[human]]s and [[megaspider]]s. Its armor penetration is even worse than a [[shortbow]], but the overall damage more than makes up for it. It's worth noting that the greatbow has a longer warmup than cooldown, which is reversed for the other two. |
− | + | The greatbow makes a good general purpose weapon, good in both offense and support. As a hunting weapon, it is nearly on par with a [[bolt-action rifle]]. However, even Tribal starts will loot firearms to replace it, making actually researching it a waste of time. But should you find or craft a particularly high quality greatbow, it might remain competitive in the early game. | |

− | + | Against an unarmored human, a greatbow can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 2 hits; and destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 4 hits (~18.6 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. | |
