The Shard Bow uses arrows as ammo (logic) and its magazine has a capacity of 1 (logic as well), its cooldown is 1.3 seconds, and it can deal 100 damage. At first glance, the bow seems extremely powerful in the hands of players with excellent aim. Since this is a bow, shots are likely projectiles, as opposed to hitscan, like most other bows..
The Flash Arc could be a clue that a crossover event with Horizon Zero Dawn is well in the works on Fortnite , as data miners have also hinted. Fortnite is known for its ambitious crossovers, and it's possible we'll soon see machines straight from Horizon roaming the island.
Then there's the Cramponneur Arc, which many believe will work the same as the old and hugely popular Cramponneur. It uses arrows and has a magazine capacity of 1, like most bows, but its cooldown is one second and it can deal 89 damage to a player..
The Spike Bow will likely be used to reposition or escape quickly, but it's good that it can do substantial damage to reward players who are caught off guard.
