The Season 9 Apex Legends weapon that shot arrows instead of standard bullet ammunition was the Bocek Bow.
Introduced in Season 9, titled Legacy, the Bocek was a precision marksman weapon designed around charging shots before release. Unlike the game’s conventional firearms, it used a dedicated ammunition type called Arrows. This gave it a distinctive identity in the loot pool and made ammunition management different from that of rifles, repeaters, and sniper weapons.
The Bocek also supported special hop-ups that changed how it behaved. Shatter Caps converted its shots into a spread-like attack, while Deadeye’s Tempo improved its draw speed when the player maintained a consistent firing rhythm. The bow rewarded careful timing and accuracy rather than sustained automatic fire.
The distractors are all conventional firearms: the 30-30 Repeater uses heavy rounds, the Sentinel uses sniper ammunition, and the Charge Rifle uses energy ammunition. The weapon’s formal name is often written Bocek Compound Bow, but Bocek Bow is the established quiz answer.
