Longbow is like the shotgun, but shoots 2 arrows instead of bullets.
These arrows has a high force and can make a worm fly quite far.
Tactics
- The Shotgun can with bad luck create a crater beneath a worm, instead of pushing it away like you sometimes want it to. Therefore, the longbow is better for pushing enemies away because of its force.
- Conbined with low gravity, this is a great way push away enemy worms to drown.
- Since you have 2 shots, you can use the first shot to your own advantage, rather than the enemy's loss. For example, shooting the first arrow at a steep unclimbable cliff, might make you able to get up, since the arrow is solid after it has hit the ground.
Criticisms, Problems and Weaknesses
- Not able to damage more than one worm, since it does not have a blast area.
- If you stand too close to the target, you will get damaged yourself.
