Effective Aiming, Angle, and Power in Bowmasters

Once you’ve figured out which weapons you want to focus on in Bowmasters, you’ll need to learn an effective strategy of shooting your projectiles. Bowmasters places great emphasis on accuracy, so you’ll need to take your time in order to ensure you land your shots.

In Bowmasters, the first shot requires you to do a bit of visual guesswork. Here, you’ll want to take note of the angle and power you use in order to adjust during later shots. We recommend using full power and 12-15% angle.

As you continue to shoot, keep calculating your angle, power, and aim accordingly. If you find your shots whizzing over an enemy’s head, you may want to reduce your power, lower your angle, or do a bit of both. Are your shots plopping down by an enemy’s feet? Reverse it and try increasing your power, raising your angle, or a bit of both!

The basics of aiming

Aiming is easy. Drag your finger around to choose an angle (depicted by the number next to the reticule), and pull back to dictate how much strength you’re going to use. Easy, right? Actually succeeding at hitting your target is where things get harder. The best thing to do is choose a starting point. Typically, I go with 100% strength and about 13-14 on the angle. If I overshoot, I know to lower the angle, and if I undershoot, I bump it up. There’s a few things to bear in mind though. For one thing, you’re rarely going to need to use less than 100% strength. The only time lowering it is worthwhile is if your opponent is amongst some very steep hills and the only way you’re going to be able to hit them is to send your arrow or projectile very high. If you keep the angle high and the strength high, your projectile is just going to vanish into space. This is where you lower the strength so, in theory, the arrow falls on top of your enemy. It’s one of the toughest moves in the game to get...

Learn Your Weapons in Bowmasters

Image
There’s a wide variety of different weapons to choose from in Bowmasters, and all of them function very differently from one another. To figure out which weapon works best for you, you’ll want to take the time to try all of them out. Additionally, we’ve broken them down into categories below to help you choose which weapons to try first in Bowmasters. Circular Weapons/Rotating Projectiles: These include Arnold’s Tomahawk and Terrance’s Chainsaw in Bowmasters. The projectiles shot from these weapons are heavier and larger than straight projectiles, meaning they fly slower. However, because of their size, they’re great for landing hits (even if your aim isn’t the best). Keep in mind, though, that they actually don’t dish out as much damage as straight projectiles even though they’re larger and heavier. Normal Weapons/Straight Projectiles: These include Julius’ Spear, Robin’s Arrow, and Mr. Gorski’s Flag, among many others. These are the standard weapons you’ll play with in Bowmasters, an...
