Perfect

The turbow is a moderately accurate, mid-tier bow that requires an energy cell to function. When powered, it increases the penetration and damage potential of arrows. When unpowered, it cannot be fired at all.

Mechanics

Currently, all arrows in the game have a base penetration value of →4. When loaded into a turbow, the base penetration of any arrow is increased by 4 to →8. Higher-tier arrows have a higher potential cap for strength-modified penetration, but because the turbow does not allow the user's strength to be factored in to the bow's overall penetration when fired, those potentials have no effect when arrows are fired from the turbow.

Considerations

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• Can be very useful if found early in the game, before higher-penetration weapons are available
• Has unimpressive accuracy.
• Unlike the compound bow, does not allow the wielder's strength bonus to improve the penetration of arrow attacks.
• Does not hold up well against higher-tier enemies with substantial AV.
• High-tier ammo only scales damage, not penetration. High-tier ammo is also difficult to come by.
