The '''Bow & Sparrow''' is a weapon that fires sparrows which upon contact with enemy [[Super Animal]]s and {{Item|Giant Emu|icon_only=1}} [[Giant Emu]]s will track them for {{Infobox weapon/rarities||6s|7s||}}.

For the sparrows to fly as far as possible, the weapon needs to be charged by holding the attack action. The weapon can be held in a charged state indefinitely, even during [[Super Jump Roll]]s. However, this reduces the Super Animal's move speed significantly.

{{Sparrows Summary}}

== Obtaining ==
* Floor loot includes {{Weapon|Bow & Sparrow|icon_only=1}} {{Rarityicon|Uncommon|icon_only=1}} {{Rarityicon|Rare|icon_only=1}} '''Bow & Sparrow''' with two boxes of 6 {{AmmoType|Specialty}} each.
* Secret Rooms may contain {{Weapon|Bow & Sparrow|icon_only=1}} {{Rarityicon|Rare|icon_only=1}} '''Bow & Sparrow''' with two boxes of 6 {{AmmoType|Specialty}} each.
* {{Item|Rebel Cache}} may contain {{Weapon|Bow & Sparrow|icon_only=1}} {{Rarityicon|Rare|icon_only=1}} '''Bow & Sparrow''' with two boxes of 6 {{AmmoType|Specialty}} each.

== Strategy ==

It is recommended to keep to a safe distance when using this weapon, because of the charge up time and the travel time of the arrow. It works well in a group setting where your allies can follow up on it, dealing extra damage or being able to back off if the tracked target is setting up an ambush.

However, if you are playing solo, it is recommended to pair this weapon with something that has a high fire rate with a moderate range, such as the {{Weapon|Pistol}} or {{Weapon|AK}}, to be able to follow up and make use of the tracking function. Keeping this weapon out while you're walking around can help, as you won't have to switch to the weapon and then switch back to follow up on it, but be careful in close quarter areas.

You can also use this weapon as a determent of sorts, as tracked targets are less likely to take risks in a firefight, or close to a firefight. You can track one target, and then let your allies deal with the tracked target while you try to track another, or switch to your other weapon and assist them.

== Trivia ==
* '''Bow & Sparrow''' was created by {{Character|Thomas Sledison}}.<ref>https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/843380/view/4339732990378712945</ref>
* The weapon's name is a play of words with the word "Sparrow", the bird species, being substituted for the word "Arrow" in "Bow & Arrow".
* The {{Weapon|1=Bow & Sparrow|skin=Cupid Bow & Sparrow|icon_only=1|icon_link=Weapon Skins#Bow & Sparrow}} '''Cupid Bow & Sparrow''' skin produces heart effects upon launching a sparrow from it that is completely unique to that skin.
*The {{Weapon|1=Bow & Sparrow|skin=Cardinal Bow & Sparrow|icon_only=1|icon_link=Weapon Skins#Bow & Sparrow}} '''Cardinal Bow & Sparrow''' skin has a custom projectile, a custom sparrow tracker, and a feathery impact effect, some of these features are client side to reduce possible competitive impact.

== Patch History ==

'''{{Version|1.9.1}}'''
* Sparrows fired from {{Weapon|Bow & Sparrow}} and {{Weapon|Sparrow Launcher}} now track {{Item|Giant Emu|icon_only=1}} [[Giant Emu]]s.

'''{{Version|1.6}}'''
* The Cardinal bow received a price increase. 

'''{{Version|1.1}}'''
* Bow & Sparrow charge time lowered from 0.633s to 0.5s. 
* Projectile speed has been increased from 175 to 178 for uncommon bows and from 180 to 182 for rare bows.
* Sparrow tracking time has been increased: from 5.5s to 6s for uncommon bows, from 6s to 7s rare bows.

'''{{Version|0.96.3}}'''
* '''Bow & Sparrow''' as well as the {{Weapon|Sparrow Launcher}} received a significant damage buff.
* Pressing the reload button while holding a charged bow will cancel the charge.
* Weapon recoil is non-random for the first few shots in a spray, but then becomes random after that. Automatic weapons such as the SMG or AK have 8 shots as non-random, but others like the Magnum or Deagle have 2. The Sniper goes random after its first shot, similar to its current version.

'''{{Version|0.95.2}}'''
* Weapon introduced.
* Available in {{Rarity|uncommon}} and {{Rarity|rare}} varieties. The uncommon bow tracks enemies for 5.5s and the rare bow tracks for 6s.
* Pulling back all the way before letting go will give players the most range, speed and damage with their shots.
