==='''The Last Stand 2'''===
 
Found in [[Whistler's Grove]], this weapon deals good amounts of damage and fires and reloads fairly quickly for a single shot weapon, which ensures a consistent RoF. Headshots are a must for maximum effectiveness. [[Survivor (NPC)|Fellow survivors]] cannot equip it, only [[Jack]].
 
 
==='''The Last Stand: Union City'''===
 
The same weapon as in the previous game, the bow is great for silently snuffing out small groups of enemies at a distance, but is a poor choice for close range combat or against large groups. Ammo can also be difficult to find through searching, but it can be purchased at [[King-o-Pawn]], as long as the player has enough [[cash]].
