Master the bows in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends! Learn about upgrades, perks, and item adjustments to optimize your loadout for any challenge.

Hey there! So you're diving into the multiplayer action of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends and want to get the most out of your bows? Awesome choice! Let's break down the upgrades and perks that can really make your arrows sing.

The game has seen a few updates that have tweaked how bows and their associated perks work, especially in the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends mode. It's good to know what's changed so you can build the best loadout for yourself.

Key Changes and What They Mean for You

Back in patch 2.18 (released April 12, 2022), there were some significant adjustments to gear and perks. Here’s what you need to know:

• Skipping Stone Bow: This bow used to give you extra resolve when your arrows ricocheted. That's been removed, so don't rely on that trick anymore for building resolve.
• Black Powder Bombs: The resolve gains from these have been significantly lowered. Also, the drop rate for Black Powder Bombs (along with Flash Bombs, Fire Arrows, and Piercing Arrows) from the Munitions perk has been reduced. This means you'll need to be more strategic with how you use these items.
• Munitions Perk: Good news! The Munitions perk can now be applied to Caltrops and Demon Seeds, which can add some nice utility to your loadout.
• Melee Resolve Gain: If you're focusing on melee combat, the maximum value for the Melee Resolve Gain property has been increased to 25%.
• Damage Properties: The maximum value for Fire Damage property is now 20%, and the Assassinate From Above Damage property maxes out at 50%.
• Samurai Skill: The Deep Strikes skill for Samurai has been boosted to +25% Melee damage.

General Bow and Perk Info

While specific bow upgrades aren't detailed in these patch notes, the general idea is that you'll want to look for perks that complement your playstyle. For bows, things like increased arrow damage, faster draw speed, or perks that generate resources (like resolve or ammo) are usually top-tier.

A heads-up: Some of these changes, like the reduction in Black Powder Bomb drops and resolve gains, mean you might need to adjust your go-to strategies. Don't be afraid to experiment with different perk combinations to see what works best for you now.

Keep an eye on the patch notes for future updates, as the developers at Sucker Punch Productions sometimes make further adjustments to keep the game balanced and fun for everyone!
