- "Turok's trademark Bow that has the ability to strike opponents from great distances without making any sound. When at full tension, it's powerful enough to pin an enemy to a wall. When equipped with Tek Arrows, this weapon has an explosive effect. Turok can attack without being seen when using the Bow."
- —Turok manual[1]
The ORO C9 Perforator Bow is a large compound bow that is specifically created for hunting enemies silently and is featured in Turok.
The bow can support two arrow types, a standard metal one and an explosive-tipped "Tek" arrow. It is obtained in "Bad Blood."
Appearance
This bow resembles a modern compound bow. It is sleek, grey, and is constructed of metal in comparison to the Bow or Tek Bow.
The weapon features some lights on it, much like other ORO weaponry; however, they have no discernible purpose.
Gameplay
Campaign
This weapon is silent, deadly, and very effective. When the player pulls back on the drawstring, they will prime an arrow, and depending for how long they hold the trigger, they will either stun or kill their enemy. The default arrow is versatile, being able to be used in multiple situations and multiple environments. It is effective against many MG soldier types and nearly all types of dinosaurs. The second is a "Tek Arrow" which is explosive-tipped and can cause massive damage to soft targets.
This weapon is capable of "pinning" enemies to walls and nearby surfaces with default, steel-tipped arrows. To do so, the player must shoot the arrow when a soldier is next to the surface. Doing so can result in the player earning achievements or trophies (depending on the console).
Multiplayer
This weapon is not a default weapon like the ORO P23 Combat Knife, and must instead be found on the map in order to be utilized. However, once in the player's hands, it can be the most deadly ranged weapon in the game, as it is more effective than the TRIGLAV 92 Stalker Sniper Rifle and even the ORO Red Fist RPG when used properly.
The horizontal drop-off of fired arrows still remains; however, it can be used in the player's favor, such as using the drop off to impact the enemy's helmet from shorter ranges. The same applies to the Tek Arrows.
There is also another disadvantage to this weapon, which is the visible trail that it emits upon launching an arrow, be it Tek or normal, as this can alert the enemy to the player's position. This can be countered by having the player simply move away from their last known position, rather than camping and leaving the player vulnerable to enemies when they know where he/she is.
Alternate Fire: Tek Arrows
This weapon's secondary function is the "Tek Arrow." It is an explosive tipped arrow which, when shot, will cause a massive grenade-like explosion at the point of impact. It is very useful against soft targets like dinosaurs and MG soldiers; however, MG Helicopters and APCs are not affected by them.
Also, the sheer power of the arrow comes with a price: this type of arrow has a massive drop-off in comparison to the normal steel-tipped arrow.
Ammo Pickups
- Arrows: Restores 25 Arrows.
- Tek Arrows: Restores 10 Tek Arrows.
