The Hunger Bow is a Sniper weapon added in the 8.0.0 update.
Description[]
It is a simple bow with an arrow. It has a decent damage when used at low level, a mediocre fire rate, low capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance[]
It is a wooden recurve bow, with an arrow loaded. The bow is simple, the arch of the bow is colored with different shades of brown, the string is black and white.
Performance[]
Current[]
This weapon shoots an arrow with instant bullet travel time. It has no scope but has a silent attribute which makes it hard for enemies to hear the shots.
It is a bow, so it uses the single-shot system, therefore, it has no reload animation. It however has input delay which means it gives a delay to an output delay weapon whenever shot and switched.
Former[]
Formerly, it shoots an arrow with wall break. It also had infinite capacity, more damage and a very large hitbox.
Strategy[]
Tips[]
- Use this to pick off weakened enemies, due to the fact that it deals low damage.(as it does almost the same amount of damage as the sniper rifle.)
- Go for the target's head to maximize damage.
- Don't take your crosshair off of the enemy after firing until the arrow successfully reaches the target.
Counters[]
- If a user shoots you with this, try to use the damage indicator to know where they are attacking from.
- Due to its low damage, you can simply pick off its users quickly.
- Use close-range weapons like shotguns and melees to make it hard for opponents with this weapon to aim.

Trivia[]
- This weapon was reskinned due to issues with Mojang, the developers of Minecraft. This was because the original Simple Bow highly resembled Minecraft's bow sprite.
- The name "Hunger Bow" may be a reference to Katniss' bow from The Hunger Games series.
- In previous versions of the game this weapon had unlimited arrows and the ability to shoot through walls. This was removed; however, it was given the ability to score headshots.
- In older versions, this weapon was brown in Android and green in iOS.
- It also had the name Basic Bow in iOS and the name Simple Bow in Android.
- Oddly, when the player runs out of ammo an arrow is still shown.
- This weapon has a weird hitscan, the arrow will hit a bit after the shooting animation. This means that no matter how far you are, it will always hit at the same exact time.
- This weapon is also wielded by the zombie jockey boss in the Campaign.
