Electric Arrows
| "Special ammunition for the bow. Electrocute your enemies from a distance. Nice, huh?" In-game description
|
Electric Arrows are special types of ammunition for the Bow. They have the ability to electrocute enemies it hits while also applying all abilities of electricity. They can sometimes be bought from Stores.
Overview
Due to this weapon being an electric weapon, it is extremely useful against hordes of infected as it is guaranteed to electrocute a target upon hitting. Because of the mechanics of electrocution, this effect would arc and stun any nearby infected as well.
There are many ways to maximize this effect. The first is to lead infected to a shallow pool of water as electrocution is more potent on wet enemies. The second way is to hit the targeted horde with Conducting Liquid or Water 2.0, thus rendering them extremely vulnerable to electricity. Another interesting thing to note is that if the player can time it right, they can electrocute a Viral without the need to actually hit it, as long as they are near the infected they do hit.
However, the greatest things about this ammunition is that it's silent and does not create elemental infected thus making it a crowd control tool with minimum drawbacks.
