Functionality
Functionality[]
The Primal Flame Bow uses a targeting system to fire projectiles, which need to be charged up to go the optimal distance. The damage is the same regardless of charge. The projectile launched is a very fast arrow. When the arrow lands on a flammable object, such as a Wooden Wall, it will ignite it, and deal Fire damage.
The Primal Flame Bow uses a Fast Moving Projectile. It has a targeting system which shows the player the drop of the projectile, and where it will land. There is no damage falloff on the Primal Flame Bow's projectiles.

Strategy
Strategy[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- This weapon is very good for attacking people in wooden structures, as it will ignite the surfaces to deal passive damage, forcing the opponent to retreat.
Counters[]
- The Primal Flame Bow only ignites wooden structures, and due to having to reload every shot, is ineffective against structures of Stone and Metal materials. Taking cover behind a high-health structure of one of these materials can be beneficial when engaged with an opponent wielding a Primal Flame Bow.
