Longbow: Borderlands 2 Weapon Review

The Longbow is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 2. It is manufactured by Hyperion and can be obtained as a rare drop from Badass Creepers in the Caustic Caverns. The Longbow has a unique ability: it fires slow-moving Minecraft-style arrows in a slightly arching trajectory, consuming one ammo per shot. It also has +50% crit damage. While some players find it useful for close to mid-range combat, others find it terrible due to the lack of a scope and iron sights, as well as its inaccuracy and slow-moving projectiles. However, it can be useful for non-sniping assassins and can do some sweet-ass crits.

The Longbow's accuracy

The Longbow is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 2. It is manufactured by Hyperion and can be obtained as a rare drop from Badass Creepers in the Caustic Caverns. The Longbow is a reference to Minecraft, as it fires slow-moving projectiles shaped like Minecraft-styled arrows. It also has Minecraft-style crosshairs.

The Longbow has been described as extremely accurate. However, it lacks a scope, which makes it less suitable for long-range combat. The parabolic arc of the arrows means that the aim will need to be adjusted to compensate for the arc of the arrow. The lack of scope means that the Longbow cannot spawn with accessories such as fire rate, damage, and magazine size.

The Longbow has +50% critical hit damage and a slightly increased chance of ignition. Its accuracy can be further improved through sustained fire. When auto-targeting is turned on, the snap-to targeting places the arc of the Longbow's projectile at a standard humanoid enemy's head. This feature, combined with the Longbow's extreme accuracy, means that some players have achieved non-stop headshots.

The Longbow's critical hit damage

The Longbow is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 2 that is manufactured by Hyperion. It can be obtained as a rare drop from Badass Creepers in the Caustic Caverns.

The Longbow has a unique ability: it fires slow-moving Minecraft-style arrows in a slightly arching trajectory and consumes one ammo per shot. It also has +50% critical damage (or +150% according to other sources). This means that when the player hits an enemy's weak point, they will deal extra damage.

The Longbow's lack of a scope makes it suitable for close to mid-range combat. The parabolic arc of the arrows means that the player will need to adjust their aim to compensate for the arc of the arrow. When auto-targeting is turned on in the options menu, the snap-to targeting places the arc of the Longbow's projectile at a standard humanoid enemy's head.

The Longbow is best used by non-sniping assassins. The slow-moving projectiles and arching trajectory mean that the player will need to gauge the distance and aim a little lower than expected. It is recommended to aim for the chest for headshots.

The Longbow's utility for snipers

The Longbow is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 2. It is manufactured by Hyperion and can be obtained as a rare drop from Badass Creepers in the Caustic Caverns. The Longbow has a unique ability: it fires slow-moving, Minecraft-styled arrows that have a parabolic trajectory. It does not have a scope, making it suitable for close to mid-range combat. The lack of a scope also means that it cannot spawn with accessories like fire rate, damage, and magazine size.

The Longbow has extremely high accuracy, and its projectiles have a slow arc, which requires adjusting your aim to compensate for the arc of the arrow. It has +50% crit damage, and snipers (except Jakobs Snipers) have +100% crit damage. This makes the Longbow a very powerful weapon, despite its lack of a scope.

Some players have found the Longbow useful for sniping, especially when shooting from the hip and aiming for the chest, which can result in critical hits. The auto-targeting option in the game can also be used to make the Longbow more effective, as it places the arc of the projectile at an enemy's head. Additionally, the Longbow's high damage and fire damage make it useful for taking out enemies quickly.

Overall, the Longbow can be a good choice for snipers in Borderlands 2, especially those who are comfortable with adjusting their aim to compensate for the arc of the arrows. Its high accuracy, damage, and crit damage make it a powerful weapon, despite the lack of a scope. However, it may be more suitable for close to mid-range combat rather than long-range sniping due to its projectile trajectory.
