As per the legend of the old Egyptian empire, the composite bow is a light bow carried as a primary weapon by those who protected the highest-ranking officials. In a modern-day context, this is the principal high-impact weapon carried by security escorts for high-level events.
Although the bow takes such importance, it is also said to be used by hunters who went out after high-damage targets like wild boar etc. The game rewards the players with the composite bow as a loot for killing Half Horn. The bow has a quality of 123 and a max DPS of 925 when maxed out at Level 55.

The game provides the bow as a loot reward for defeating the elephant riders Qetesh and Resheph guarding the perimeter of Uab Nome. It would be no easy task, but it certainly would be worth it. The bow has a quality of 123 and a max DPS of 859 when maxed out at Level 55.

This legendary bow is useful in its ability to raise its user's effectiveness in multiple ways, adding to precision and spiking the ever-useful Adrenaline meter. Of course, it doesn't hurt that this is one of the most powerful bows in the game when fully upgraded.

Rarity |
Perks |
|---|---|

Legendary |
Rate of Fire IV, Bleeding on Hit II, Health on Kill |
This enticing light bow can be had by way of the Helix Store or Nomad's Bazaar; and it's worth the investment. The bow is effective at giving players an edge in battle through a few key avenues, vastly boosting one's rate of fire and granting health on a kill.
Players can gain even more of an advantage thanks to its bleeding on hit perk. This softens up enemies and whittles down their health faster and more effectively. For such a seemingly light and simple bow, it sure has many tricks up its sleeve.
12 Lord Of Bones
Damage Max Level: 847
|
Rarity |
Perks |

Legendary |
Stealth Damage III, Bleeding on Hitt III, Poison on Hit |
This ominously-named predator bow really packs a punch when used correctly. Players can obtain it by way of an Animus mod given from Layla. While there are stronger options when it comes to raw, maxed-out power, the Lord of Bones is handy in a number of ways, especially for stealthier, tactical players.
The bow rewards a more strategic style of infiltration and fighting, with boosts in stealth damage and poison abilities. Its inflicting of bleeding further amps up the area-of-effect perks, allowing players to drop many foes swiftly and silently.

The Jebel was granted as a reward by the Kushite pharaoh Piye to his Nubian generals upon victory in battle; and what a reward it is. The Jebel Barkal covers a nice range — in terms of its distant shots and its range of perks. The weapon excels in rewarding sharp-shooting and stealthy players in numerous ways.
Players that have no trouble hitting their marks will want to utilize this bow, as it grants stealth damage, combo multipliers, and ranged hit multipliers.
10 Crescent Moon

|
Rarity |
Perks |

Charging Speed IV, Combo Multiplier II, On Fire |
While fairly meager when it comes to raw damage output, the Crescent Moon thrives in many other areas. Inspired by the moon itself, this sleek and swift bow shines when it comes to sharp-shooting as well as quick, timely hits.
It boasts a significant charging speed perk, and the always-enjoyable on-fire ability. These traits allow players to wreak havoc and turn many targets into charred remains with speed and efficiency. Players will need the Horus Pack to gain access to this mighty bow, but it's a worthwhile investment.
