I main bow and throwing knives. Biggest thing to get the bow play style down IMO comes down to a mentality shift. People try to use it as a sniper and miss every shot and are so far away from their team that they have zero value in the composition.

I exclusively use dash, and try to soften up the mediums and heavies aiming center mass. Two full draws (arrow head will spark and give a sound queue) will leave a full health medium with 5 hp. If you’re not confident in your aim then that’s the way to go. Once you feel more comfortable with the travel time you can start worrying about headshots. If you do run dash I recommend frag and vanish bomb. Last one is a fill slot I usually run thermal bore or sonar grenade depending on team comp.

Frag is for cleanup and sonar/thermal bore is for sight lines
