Melee Warrior Bow (Rare)

Learn how to get, use, and upgrade the rare Melee Warrior Bow in Horizon Forbidden West. Includes stats, perks, and upgrade costs.

This battle-hardened bow is the weapon of choice for any Tenakth looking for a fight. It inflicts extra ranged damage after a successful melee attack.

You can purchase the Melee Warrior Bow from the Hunter who has set up camp at Scalding Spear. You’ll need an Elemental Clawstrider Circulator, which is an uncommon drop from Clawstriders.

The Melee Warrior Bow is best used when fighting smaller machines up close and personal, as after a successful melee attack you’ll deal extra damage to machines from a distance.
